My list is preety solid and im proud of it, except for my gpa, and sadly that 2/3 of what they look at. However my grade trends are very positive, my junior year gpa was a 3.5 and my planed gpa this trimester is a 3.9. I also go to one of the top public schools in the state.

Please if you have any advice dont hold back

apply undecided and put summer as an option. That’s your best shot at UP. Unfortunately, Penn State doesn’t look at senior year at all and they don’t care about grading trends. They only care about the end number at the end of junior year. I’m assuming your 1300 SAT is out of the new 1600 SAT. Apply DUS (undecided) and summer session option for your best shot. UP middle 50% GPA starts at 3.55.
