<p>I am also doing psu summer music camp....if you need any more info thanks!</p>

<p>The test scores are a bit low, but Penn State relies a lot more on GPA and ECs--and in this area you are looking really, really good compared to the average music major applying to PSU.</p>

<p>You should be a match for Penn State.</p>

<p>P.S. Drop the "Who's Who" thing when you apply. Who's Who for High School kids is a scam--they will print your dog's name if you send them the money.</p>

<p>Best of success.</p>

<p>Are you in-state? If yes, you should be fine.</p>

<p>i think you'll do fine, im highly considering PSU and my GPA is about 3.825 weighted. It isnt much lower unweighted because I only took 2 AP's so far because up to this point its all my school offered. I have done a lot of EC activities and my test taking skills are poor too, i got a 1760.</p>

<p>so best of luck with Penn State.</p>

<p>and considering you are applying to be a music major i think you are surely a match, u have a lot of music background and it isn't that popular of a major there.</p>

<p>icanread: yes I am instate</p>

<p>thanks to all of you for your responses!</p>
