<p>Will have great reccomendations and very good essay(s)</p>
<p>Also, what do people suggest doing in order to get my SAT scores up? i tried using a book with practice tests before the first one but it didn't work to well</p>
<p>anyways, just let me know if i have any chance at all. lol, thanks in advance</p>
<p>thats cool um i would say they are decent, Penn State is a numbers school, and uses the formula 2/3 GPA (weighted) 1/3 SAT though so if you improve your SATs that can help. I really have no idea how to improve your scores, most people do better the second time though.</p>
<p>your SAT score is well within the boundaries for admission.But your G.P.A is as crappy as mine was. You seem like the kind who is really smart but knows that high school is a joke and is therefore, not very motivated.LOL...</p>
<p>Memorize as many of the SAT vocab words as possible to increase your CR score.But personally, i think you're in. I mean, you have tonnes of honors courses.And a couple of AP courses--</p>
<p>as a white jewish male to another white jewish male... penn state is a match/reach... i hear admissions are going to be tough next year because of liberal acceptances standards last year</p>
<p>funny thing is that i am probably more motivated than every other student at my school. I work as hard as i possibly can and just can't seem to catch a break with teachers or on my final exams.</p>
