Admissions Interview
Scripps admission interviews allow us to get to know you better and vice versa. They usually last about 30 minutes and are done by an admission counselor or Scripps senior. At this time, interviews are no longer available – please check back in the summer for availability.

Next up for #SeniorSpotlight we have Sam! Read more about her below:
“My hometown is Wayzata, Minnesota and I am majoring in Psychology and double minoring in Music and Native American and Indigenous studies
My favorite class has been The Native American Novel, I am currently taking it this semester and I adore the atmosphere that the classroom has created and I am grateful to be able to learn about these authors who have impacted literature so much.
I have so many good memories at SCR and the 5C’s but one that sticks in my mind is when we closed our musical last spring and I celebrated with all my friends from across the 5Cs. I can’t pick just one so another favorite memory at the 5C’s was my senior recital from this year!”
Many thanks to Sam for her hard work and dedication to the admissions team at Scripps! Wishing all our seniors a future filled with success, joy, and endless opportunities! Here’s to amazing adventures ahead. Stay tuned for more!
