You should submit requests for LORs by the end of February (for non-linkage) and earlier for linkage.
What about committee letters? When should I get LORs? If you are linking you must take the MCAT in April or very early May, if you are not, then you can take it whenever you want, but it's best to take it by June so you can apply early. It's also possible to do the 12 month program and stay an additional year to do upper division coursework. In the two-year program you take fewer classes and are expected to do 20 hours of work/volunteering during each school year. The 15 month program does as well, but you only take two classes with lab during the fall and spring semesters and take physics I and II during the second summer. The 12 month program starts in the summer, where you will do general chemistry. What is the schedule like for the 12 and 15 month programs? What about the two year program? I believe Summer Session is about $2500, while the fall and winter semesters are both about $11,000. The male/female ratio in classes tends to be about 50/50.
This is not at all awkward because all of the other four colleges on campus are coed and all of your classes are taken at the Claremont Joint Science department which is shared by Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps students. Scripps is a women's college, but the postbacc program is coed. Winter temperatures are 60-70 or so, and fall/spring are in between. Claremont is relatively hot in the summer (temperatures can exceed 100) but pretty dry. Expect to pay $600-900 pp/month for housing if you share or rent a room and somewhat more if you want to live alone. Students are not eligible for on-campus housing but there are many apartments and houses for rent around campus. Claremont is a very nice town that is extremely safe and has a small town feel to it. Scripps College is one of the 5 Claremont Colleges, which is located about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. Ok, the answer to some questions I've received via PM: I think Scripps has their first interviews in December which means that they recieve those apps and LORs by Oct or so. The timing of your app is important as well. Some ways in which you can certainly improve your application are GPA improvement and by working on your extracurriculars (research/volunteering/shadowing). You can probably see why they do well in admissions.Īnyways, Jodi will let you know whether she thinks you're a competitive candidate. That means that the average Scripps graduate that applies open pool (which is half the class or a bit less) is applying with around 3.7/32, and typically a strong committee letter and ECs. I think the average GPA in the program is in the 3.6-3.7 range, while the MCAT average for my year was around 32. As far as accepted candidates, I would think 3.65/1300 is probably a good guess. I don't think they have posted minimums for GPA/test scores, but I think the minimum they're really going to consider for GPA is about 3.2-3.3, while the test scores should be > 1200, while 1300 would be better. They are looking for candidates that will make good medical students. Scripps will take your official transcripts, look at your calculated GPA from each institution you attended, and calculate a GPA for each school, then calculate an overall GPA. I can basically tell you how it will work.
