<p>Well PSU has a 3 year science requirement, so I have to take physics next year if I want to have a chance at getting in. The problem is I would rather be a TA, then take physics because I already have 4 other AP classes. So if my chances aren't very high I won't take physics next year or apply to PSU. So what do you think?</p>
<p>I plan on applying in Sept. if my ACT goes well, or in Oct. after I take the Oct. 6 SAT.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.65W
SAT: Well I got an 1100 on my first try, but practice tests are showing I will get a 1270. Also I plan on taking the ACT as well.
RANK: Top 10% out of around 600 students.</p>
<p>9th: All classes were Gate level, which is basically honors with no grade bump.</p>
<p>10th: All gate classes and 1 honors - HL Pre-Calc</p>
<p>11th: AP Calc, AP US, AP Eng, HL Chem, HL Span 3, and Journalism</p>
<p>12th: AP Psych, AP Eng, AP Stats, AP Gov/Econ, Journalism and Physics (or TA)</p>
<p>EC's/Community Service/Awards: Tennis, CSF, Foreign Foods Club (VP), Journalism (Entertainment Editor), Early Academic Outreach Program, Relay 4 Life, Key Club (VP), Random Acts of Kindness Club, Recycling Club, Certificate of Scholastic Achievement, Circle B Athletic Award, Block B Academic Letter, and "Most Consistent Player" - Tennis.</p>
<p>And if they actually read personal statements, I have went through a lot of stuff throughout high school.....my brother and mother both have/had cancer during my high school years.</p>
<p>Thanks...</p>
