<p>I am currently a High School Junior and am really considering UMBC my number 1 school, but I'm also considering Penn State, UMCP, and Washington college. I will be applying early action, and am wondering my chances of being accepted EA.</p>

<p>I am in the IB diploma program and have been for all 3.5 years of high school, (well, Pre-IB for freshman and sophomore year)</p>

<p>GPA:3.07 (UW) and 3.47 (W)</p>

<p>SAT score: 1290 2-part, 1920 3-part</p>

<p>Class rank: 113/560</p>

<p>EC's: Mock trial, Key Club, Indoor Lacrosse, Vocal Ensemble, Relay for Life, Tri-M Music Honor Society</p>

<p>Major: English with a focus on media studies</p>

<p>Volunteer work: ASP 3 years (habitat for humanity type work in central Appalachia), Courtney's house (safe-house for battered women), Relay for Life</p>

<p>Leadership: Grade representative in youth group for 5 years, Co-leader of relay for life team for 2 years.</p>

<p>Your GPA is low for Penn State. </p>

<p>"High School GPA (4.0 scale)</p>

<p>Penn State University Park 3.52-3.97
All other campuses 2.98-3.50"</p>

<p>“Penn State bases admission decisions on a variety of factors. The high school grade-point average (GPA) accounts for approximately two-thirds of the decision. The remaining one-third is based on other factors, which may include standardized test scores (students taking the ACT are required to complete and submit the writing component), class rank, the personal statement, and activities list”</p>

<p>If 2/3 of their decision is GPA based, and they go off of an UW GPA, then you’ll be pretty lucky to get in IMO. Your UW is on the low end for their branch campuses even.</p>
