I don’t know much about Penn State, but from a quick look at their stats, it seems like you’d fall in the middle 50% across the board (which is a pretty good thing). Apply to a safety if you’re even slightly worried about this one. But, the way I see it, you’re just about where you should be.
You definitely have a good chance of getting in, considering your first generation college student, your gpa and scores+ activities are great. Apply elsewhere as well!
