<p>Sent my app. in about a month ago. All materials have been received, so now I'm just waiting...anxiously and would like to get a heads up on what to expect before I get the actual decision. </p>
<p>Please let me know what my chances are if you can offer an educated opinion. Thanks!</p>
<p>I thought Penn State required ACT scores with at least a 30 or above. Thats why i didnt think i would have had any chances getting into that school because i got a 25 on my ACT’s. So i figured i wouldn’t get accepted in. So they dont really look at test scores even if it is an ivy league school?</p>
<p>^^^^^^DKSP07 - I believe you are thinking of the University of Pennsylvania, (aka “Penn”) a private school located in Philadelpha, which is a member of the Ivy League interscholastic conference as opposed to the large public Pennsylvania State University (aka “Penn State” or PSU) which is a member of the Big 10 athletic conference.</p>
<p>Both Penn and Penn State certainly do look at test scores for admissions.</p>
