<p>EC's:

<p>I'm looking to major in Nutritional Sciences and possibly minior in Exercise Sciences. All of my classes are either Honors or regular college prep style. I've taken 2 AP classes as of my Junior year, but I'm taking 3 AP's my Senior Year. I aware that my GPA is a little weak, but I'm definitley working on it.</p>

<p>Running is definitely my biggest Extracurricular. Our Cross Country Team has a good shot at being #1 in the Nation this year, and I'm sure it would look good to be part of a national championship team. I'm a consistant varsity athlete, and I'm definitley going to join the Cross Country and Track teams in College.</p>

<p>With that said, what are my chances at Penn State? Thanks.</p>

<p>Thanks guys... one other question... how many reccomendations do you think I should have? (I only have 2....)</p>

<p>No recommendations are required.</p>

<p>El C - you're in. Read the PSU admissions guidelines - no recs are required (or recommended) and EC's don;t count for anything unless you're on the bubble for admission, then your short essay may come into play. That should not apply to you.</p>

<p>This might sound sort of bush league, but a friend of mine who's connected at PSU tells me they had approx . 100,000 apps system-wide this year. It becomes a statistical process by necessity.</p>
