What would my chances be at PSU UP
The freshman profile for UP suggests you are on the low end for SAT (below 25th percentile). The unweighted GPa for the middle 50% falls between 3.55 and 3.97. Since you didn’t provide your unweighted GPA, it’s difficult to say. My gut is that you will either be accepted for summer or sent to a branch campus for two years. Students whose stats are below that 25th percentile likely fall into one of the following categories: recruited athlete, URM/major hook, faculty/staff kids, etc. It doesn’t mean it can’t happen, though. Good luck!
Yeah it’s weird because naviance from our school which doesn’t have a lot of data because our school is new shows a lot of 1100’s being accepted with gpa’s between a 3.6-3.8.
Retake the SAT.
Any chance you can take physics honors, AP physics 1, or dual enrollment algebra-based physics? Not having it for such a major is a huge red flag.
Atmospheric science is a very competitive major.
My guess is that you should check “summer session” right away, and indicate in the SRAR you plan on taking physics in the Spring.
I really cannot retake the SAT our school only offers AP Physics, Conceptual(basically academic) and Physics (in the middle). You need to take reg Physics before you can take AP. I know PsU won’t recognize that but…
So, can you take Physics (“in the middle”) this year? If not, can you take dual enrollment physics at a local CC?
It’s really too bad you can’t retake the SAT, a 650+ math score would certainly help you.
