How to read these numbers

  • The 2025 rate covers Scripps College's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
  • 1430–1500 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1430, and a quarter scored above 1500.
  • The table above holds 13 reported years, 2013 through 2025. Across them Scripps College's rate ranged from 24.2% to 39.9%, so any single year is one point inside that range.

Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
