<p>Hey guys so I'm a senior at the second best high school in new jersey. last year 31 kids out of 47 got into penn state. however, my gpa is really low- 3.34 weighted and I took two aps and two honors classes over the course of high school. My sats are high- 1320/1920. Do you guys think I have any chance in getting in?</p>
<p>I was also planning to consider summer session and send out my application within the coming weeks. I was also wondering if there's any major that would make me more 'favorable' to the university. Please respond, Penn state is my first choice and basically my dream school!!</p>
<p>lee- I think conventional wisdom is that specifying an undecided major (Department of Undergraduate Studies) gives you a better chance of acceptance than specifying a competitive major like business or engineering. Do you know what you want to study?</p>
<p>Looks like branch, but you never know. Make sure you say you will to summer session. SAT’s are great. GPA is 2/3 of Penn State’s decision, SAT 1/3.</p>
<p>With your SAT alone you will most likely get into main campus I’m from nj too and my school has about 120 kids expected out of around 140 that apply. I got in last year with a higher gpa but lower SATs.</p>
