Your GPA is low for UP, but your SAT score is very good. I would apply undecided and check summer session to have the best chance at getting in.

@mazza @strength1108 With about a 3.5 weighted, I would tell you to apply DUS (undecided) and with summer session as an option. That doesn’t mean you will have to go summer - it just means that if they can’t admit you for fall, you will be reconsidered for summer session. My daughter had about a 3.5 gpa. 2 years ago and got in for summer. She loved it.
