<p>Upenn, cornell and cal all look like matches to me, possibly even safe matches. the rest are all pretty much safety. Dont apply to both rutgers and PSU since it is a waste of money and time if you know you will get into both anyway. Basically choose to take out either rutgers or psu, and you have a shot at HYPSM if you are interested in them! Good luck ^^</p>

3

<p>Both Michigan and Penn State are safeties.</p>

4

<p>take annother SATII or retake US to up those chances</p>

5

<p>forgot to mention im also in NHS and French Honor Society as well as 100 volunteer hours
thanks anyone else?</p>

6

<p>PSU and Rutgers are safeties. Look into Schreyer Honors College at PSU - it's a separate application process and MUCH more selective than PSU (Avg SAT = 1400). Lots of perks - small classes, money, better advsing, research opportunities, internships ect. It's one of the better honor programs in the US. And Smeal is a quality program.
I wouldn't consider Cornell or Wharton to be matches for anyone.</p>

7

<p>does anyone know if that Honors program at PSU is for any major? or is it geared towards certain majors</p>

8

<p>Honors college at PSU (Schreyer) is for ALL majors. Most kids are engineering, science and business but all majors are represented. Check out their website (just put Schreyer in a search engine). Lots of good info. They bring in 300 students as freshman each year - I understand they get about 1700/1800 applications. I hear the admit rate is around 30%. About 20% are out of state.</p>

9

<p>Your SATs and class rank are impressive, though you have few leadership positions in your ECs. Nevertheless, you are a very strong candidate, and you might consider tacking on a couple more reach school to your list.</p>

10

<p>i have legacy at PSU too, my dad went there, 5 of my first cousins and my uncle there for 25 years</p>

11

<p>UPenn (Wharton) ED- Reach
Cornell- need to know which school, most likely slight reach
PSU (Schreyer)- match
PSU- safety
Michigan- safe match
Rutgers- safety
Berkeley (OOS)- match/slight reach
CMU- match</p>
