you may go TO - not sure - but your score is within the 25/75.

TO is what I am on the fence about. I did just take them again last Saturday so hoping they are slightly higher. I did already get accept to both Pitt and Duquesne. Thank you!
There you go - two great in state options (well one private).
Are you looking out of state? If you want to be close, you might add WVU and Miami of Ohio.
My guess is TO won’t impact you…i.e. you won’t not get in because of test score…and you’d still get in if TO.
I would personally submit - but i’m more about - I took it, i put in the effort, i’m going to use it…vs it gives me the best odds.
I think it’s fine either way.
PSU is way larger than Pitt…what’s your preference. You can ask your HS counselor.
I think it won’t impact either way tho. You are more than a test score. and it shows in what you listed. Paid job and Basketball Manager

You’re good (excellent resume), but look carefully into the applied biology majors in the College of Ag and in Bio-Behavioral Health rather than just plain Bio from Eberly, as those have better professional opportunities.

Our HS probably sends at least 50 kids to PSU every year. Your SAT is good. I’d submit unless it’s lopsided. Plus I think they weigh GPA much more than test scores for admission. You should get main campus. Hopefully before Christmas. Good luck.

Thank you for this information. I just switched my intended major to bio-behavioral health. Hopefully, I hear soon.
