Chances for Penn State UP

Hi – what are my chances for Penn State University Park?

Prospective major: BA in Theatre - Dance Studies, Theatre Performance, or BA in Musical Theatre

OOS female
GPA: 3.56/4.0
ACT Composite: 26 (retaking)

9th grade: no honors, upper level math and spanish classes
10th grade: honors chem, honors theology, honors algebra II
11th grade: AP Physics, IB Theatre HL1, honors theology
12th grade: AP Comparative Gov and Politics, IB Theatre HL2, AP Stat, AP Art History

in both 9th and 10th grade I took classes related to my prospective major

EC’s:
Freshman year: Fall Musical, Improv Team Member, Assistant Stage Manager of Spring Play. Student Ambassador
Sophomore year: Fall Musical, Improv Team Member, Choreographer and Assistant Director of Spring Play. Member of International Thespian Honors Society. Student Ambassador
Junior year: Fall Musical, Choreographer of Fall Musical, Improv Team Captain, Assistant Director and Choreographer of Spring Musical. VP of Nu Delta Alpha Dance Honors Society. Member of ITS. Student Ambassador.
Senior year: President of Nu Delta Alpha. Improv Team Captain. Member of ITS. Student Ambassador.
Senior year predictions: Fall Musical (either lead or direct and choreograph depending on the show) Spring show (either lead or direct and choreograph depending on the show)

I am also a direct legacy of Penn State University Park but since 1 in every 117 people with a degree have a degree from Penn State that might not make such a difference.

GPA average for UP; ACT just above 25th percentile. If you can get that up a couple of points, you will have a good shot, IMO.

Alumni relatives are “considered” but not very important.
