Programs like the Scripps College Academy?

I want to apply, but I need a virtual experience for Juniors.

I'm assuming you are referring to Scripps College which is part of the 5 C consortium of Pomona, CMC, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, and Scripps.

There are many good resources for this women's college.

I appreciate @CameronBameron's answer because they provided links to official schools sources to further explore what the school is like. I would also invite you to do a few other things as well:

1) Go to other platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok) and identify student vloggers who currently go to Scripps. Their experiences can teach you what it is ACTUALLY like to attend these schools from a student perspective rather than the "officially-licensed" university perspective.

2) Once we have a community page for Scripps I would totally suggest you join and see what other students who want to attend Scripps are interested in and what kind of questions they are asking. This can give you a better idea of what the incoming applicant class is interested in, and what kind of students Scripps attracts. For now, while the community page is being added, I would check out our blog page/school list tool for more information on Scripps.

3) Finally, next fall we will once again hold our College Admissions fair where we have hundreds of students representing their home schools talk about their lives. We may even have one for Scripps coming up then. So I would wait till August to see our schedule. You can even request this be one of the schools that we look into!

Hope my and @CameronBameron's answers help!
