<p>UW GPA: 3.9</p>
<p>W GPA: 4.3</p>
<p>SAT Scores: 1710</p>
<p>EC's include Marching Band, cross country, one year of soccer, National honor society, considerable amount of volunteer work, FBLA, babysitting, summer job, and some other very minor ones</p>
<p>Major is Physics</p>
<p>How much more competitive is it to get in after the priority deadline? When should I expect to hear from them? I applied today, 12/05.</p>
<p>ECs and major please… the rating below is provisional and assumes no ECs. I know PSU is mostly grade-driven, though.</p>
<p>PSU (no ECs): Match</p>
<p>EC’s include Marching Band, cross country, one year of soccer, National honor society, considerable amount of volunteer work, FBLA, babysitting, summer job, and some other very minor ones</p>
<p>Major is Physics</p>
<p>Would it still be a match after the priority deadline, though?</p>
<p>EC’s and GPA are solid, but the SAT is not. Can you still retake it and have it sent for consideration? Because it would help you a lot. But Penn State definitely is in your range</p>
<p>Try the ACT, too…</p>
<p>Low match/match (remember, PSU UP is more grade-driven but now that both ECs and majors are there; would have been a definite low match if you went the EA route)</p>
<p>Do you think that I would still have time to re-take the sat’s or take th act’s? So is a physics major competitive? And EA as in Early Action?</p>
<p>Priority deadline is how PSU UP (and UMD also) calls Early Action. </p>
<p>I don’t think the physics major is more competitive than the average major at Eberly Science (this is where you end up at PSU UP if admitted) but I can’t say much more.</p>
