I'm trying to gauge my chances of getting into Scripps College as a transfer student. Does anyone have any statistics or data on recent transfer trends, like average GPAs or class sizes for transfers?
While Scripps College doesn't disclose a detailed profile of accepted transfer students, you can find some general information on their website and in their Common Data Set.
In recent years, Scripps has admitted between 30-50 transfer students annually. Given that their total undergraduate enrollment is typically around 1050 students, this shows that the transfer community is notable but not extensive.
When it comes to GPA, although Scripps does not publish an average GPA for its admitted transfer students, it's safe to assume that successful applicants have strong academic profiles. Remember, though, that the admissions process will be holistic, looking at all parts of your application, not just your GPA.
Lastly, the rate of acceptance for transfer students can be fairly competitive. For example, in 2023-2024, Scripps received 139 transfer applications and admitted 48 students, making the acceptance rate around 34%.
I recommend reaching out to the admissions office at Scripps for more specific data on transfer admissions. They can provide the most current and precise information. Additionally, reach out to current transfer students or alumni who can share their experiences and insights with you.
Please note that all stats are based on available data and exact numbers can fluctuate from year to year.
