Chance me for PSU University Park, Temple, West Chester, and University of Delaware.
I am a Pennsylvania resident. My gpa is a 3.65 and my most recent SAT score is 1120 one sitting. Highest is 1150 Superscore. I have very good EC and recommendations. I am applying Undecided for each college and checked the summer session for Penn State. PSU is my #1 and I really want to get in. Help me out and chance me please.
I think you will be accepted to West Chester. Temple is likely as long as you apply Early Action. PSU main campus is iffy, though one of my daughter’s friends who is a current freshman got in with similar grades and scores. I’m not as familiar with Delaware.
Your GPA is within the middle 50% for Penn State and your SAT is slightly below. When that happens, you usually either have to go summer OR you start at a commonwealth campus. That being said, your GPA is the most important factor and accounts for 2/3 of the decision so it is good that it is within the middle 50%. Your best shot at UP is exactly what you’ve done. Undecided and summer session. There isn’t time to retake the SAT and still get your application in before the priority deadline so you are where you are. Penn State also won’t consider recommendations at all or EC’s very much.
I expect you will have no problem at West Chester or even Temple, but I don’t know as much about their admission process.
