psu is my top choice school but my app could be better… 1680 SAT… But a 1210 math and critical reading, let’s not talk about my writing score. Personal statement was very good though. Anyways I have a 3.86 unweighted gpa and a 4.1 weighted. I have taken 17 honors/ap classes ( my school is all honors, ranked #2 in Pennsylvania. ) I have taken ap chem, ap us history (4 on the test), ap world history, ap pyschology, and I’m also in a 2 semester college level organic chemistry class. In a college composition class at a local university too. Organic is technically not AP but it’s the hardest class I’ve taken haha. Rank 69 out of 198. School is extremely competitive. Difference between 69 and 45 is decimal places…EC’s are decent but not amazing. What do you think?
Here’s what I think… First of all, congratulations on your academic accomplishments because they are something you should be very proud of. You have taken very difficult courses and have done extremely well. You remind me of my own daughter…As a basis of comparison, my D has the same weighted GPA as you, with a slightly higher SAT overall (however, your CR + M is higher as her writing actually was much higher than her CR which helped her). I do not know what particular college you’re applying to at PSU, and they vary greatly as far as competitiveness. I wish I could tell you not to worry, because we’re anxious too! But you are a wonderful applicant and be proud of your accomplishments! Good luck to you!
