Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>What are my chances at Penn State Schreyers?</p>

<p>I attend a private Jesuit high school that is pretty competitive. I currently have a 97 GPA unweighted and im probably in the top 5-10% of my class (they don't rank). I have a 2230 on my SATS with a 780 on Math and 700 on Verbal plus a 750 on the Writing. I got a 750 on Math Level I Subject Test and a 740 on Math Level II plus a 700 on Chemistry Subject Test. </p>

<p>I took(or am going to take) A.P. Chemistry, A.P. English, A.P. Biology, A.P. Physics, A.P. Calculus, Honors Spanish, and Advanced Computers. I don't have any scores back from A.P. tests yet.</p>

<p>My activites include 3 years on bowling, 2 years on speech and debate, 2 years on school newspaper, 2 years spanish club, 2 years computer club, 2 years math team, 4 years spirit club, and 2 years freshmen orientation.</p>

<p>I was a National Merit Commended, honorable mention on National Spanish Exam, and gold on National Latin Exam.</p>

<p>I have volunteered over 40 hours teaching pre-school and spent a month in Mexico doing service work in an orphanage.</p>

<p>Also I'm planning on majoring in a medicine related field and I live in PA (not sure if that helps at all) . Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Is that the program where they only accept 20 people a year?</p>

<p>Yah, my friend got into that Penn state program, it's like direct admit to a med school and accelerated program right? His stats were lower than yours and he got in w/o any URM status, so you look like you have a good shot. Are you OOS or in state?</p>

<p>In-state.

No, you must be thinking of something else. Schreyers accepts about 300 students each year.</p>

<p>@Victorino, your stats are very good. Just write some killer essays and you'll have a great shot at getting in. I'll also be applying to Schreyers this fall.</p>
