Say hi to Sam!

Hi Everyone! I’m Sam, a Sophomore from Hopkins, Minnesota. I am undecided in my major but am interested in exploring Psychology, Music, Media Studies or Biology. Outside of class I do voice lessons, work in the admissions office, and attend the mixed race affinity group Blend. I am super excited to be on campus and try more new things! My favorite ways to spend my free time are volunteering with an animal shelter, spending time with dogs, listening to music, and spending time with my friends and family.

In my search process for the right college for me, I knew one of the biggest things for me was having a supportive community where I could push myself and be supported in all my endeavours, both academic and not. I am so glad that I found Scripps, even having been only remote I know that the people at Scripps truly embody what I was looking for and I am excited to be able to experience it in person.

Applying to and choosing a college is a long process and can feel overwhelming at times. A piece of advice I have for prospective students is to listen to your gut and apply to places where you feel it will be the right fit socially and academically. You might feel nervous but that doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice, trust that you know yourself best.

As I continue my journey at Scripps, I am excited to share it with you all! Stay tuned for more blog posts from me and the other summer admission ambassadors and our instagram office hours. If you have any questions about my experience at Scripps please don’t hesitate to reach out, my email is [email protected].
