ACT: 27
State Status: OOS
School Type: Elite Private School
Honors Classes total (includes senior year): 7
Total AP Classes (only AP Gov taken Jr): 5

I applied October 1st (EA) for the college of Liberal Arts for Economics (BS), and I also applied for the summer session, UP as my main, and Altoona as a secondary
THANK YOU for any responses, and good luck to everyone!!
How does your HS weight its grades?
@Psuguy1818 on a 4.0 scale with an A in an AP being a 5.0 A in honors as a 4.5 and regular A as a 4.0
I think you have a good shot then but not guaranteed.
I got in with what would probably be around a 26 and what would probably be equal to around a 4.0 on your scale.
@Psuguy1818 Yea I hope I get in. I recently visited and I loved it. Fingers crossed at this point. Also would you know when I would receive a decision. A friend of mine got in yesterday, and I was wondering if it was random like MSU (which took a seriously long time to get accepted at for me considering when I applied), or is it in waves?
Completely random
Thanks bro you’ve been a big help @Psuguy1818 :-c
