Notes on this filing
  • C2: waitlist labels were cut off; values mapped by position (552 offered, 239 accepted a place, 4 admitted from waitlist).
  • C8A: the X sits in the 'Not required for admission, but considered if submitted' column for SAT or ACT; C8F is blank, so no clarification.
  • C11/C12: Scripps no longer reports high school GPA, so GPA fields are null. C10 class rank data is printed but not used in the schema.
  • C21: early decision offered; early action not offered (C22 No).
  • B1: the grid total for undergraduates is 1,116, while the summary and B2 total show 1,117; 1117 is used.
  • B4-B11 (graduation): the Fall 2018 cohort was not available, so the Fall 2017 cohort is used. The 4-year rate is not printed, so it is null. The 6-year rate of 87% is taken from line H.
  • G1: costs are labeled for 2025-26 with a note that final figures were expected in March 2025. Tuition is one price for all students, so in-state and out-of-state fields are null. Room and board is the food and housing figure.
  • H1/H2: aid data is marked as 2023-24 Final, not 2024-25. The aid percent-met is H line h (114) divided by H line d (114). The average package (J) covers all awarded aid, not only need-based aid. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null.
  • H2 first-time column: line a is 275 first-time students, but C1 lists 313 enrolled first-time first-years.
