Stats - 3.92 weighted gpa; 1230 Sat, 12 honors and AP courses, currently taking 12 credits dual enrollment through PSU senior year. Extensive ECs, legacy. Applying DUS w summer option.
You should have no problem. Dual enrollment helps and your GPA and test scores are right in line with what’s needed to get into UP DUS.
Thank you! Do you think the stats are good enough for a fall acceptance?
Probably…but one never knows with Penn State. The good news is if you select the summer option, they evaluate you for fall first, and only evaluate you for summer if you aren’t admitted for fall - so it doesn’t hurt you at all to add the summer option.
If interested in CLA majors, you can apply for those too, as well as Paterno Fellows.
Thank you for your responses. Does it matter how many kids apply from the same hs? Does psu compare you to others from the same high school or in an individual basis?
They put you into the pile of applications for your college (liberal arts, IST, eberly, earth&mineral, Ag, ED…etc) THEN within your own college pile of apps compare you to others from the same high school. However there are no caps on how many are admitted from a single high school since it’s a very large public (semi public) university.
Applying DUS summer option before November 30 almost guarantees you’ll get in considering your stats.
Thank you for clarifying the process. It makes sense.
