<p>au maybe im applying there as well
take off the who's who because u pay to be in it :)</p>

3

<p>Haha, actually I didn't pay for either one, I just figured I'd put it on there. ;)</p>

4

<p>you dont pay for who who...your teacher has to recommend you and she has to be a who's who member...the only thing you pay for is like books from who's who, but those are optional.</p>

5

<p>Allright. Well anyway, what do you think about my chances? I just want an honest answer.</p>

6

<p>Are those SATs old or new. If old, damn! And how bout some cl-cl-cl-class rank.</p>

7

<p>New it would be 1760. I didn't do well on the SAT's at all, but my ACT's were decent. Class Rank is Top 15%.</p>

8

<p>Sats put you at, near, or below the 25% at all those schools. ACT is not really used by those schools, so I don't know how that's gonna work. Sorry, but going by your SATs, those schools are reaches (tho in state for psu and pitt should help).</p>

<p>Well, I guess it's good that PSU makes their 2/3 of their decision based on the GPA, and less than 1/3 on the SAT. Also, they do take ACT's. And, I guess it is also good that I'm in-state. Thanks though.</p>

I'll be a Freshman at PSU-UPark this fall.</p>
