<p>Major: Psychology
My grades suck though :/</p>
<p>My SAT Super score would be a 1600, but since they do the best sit score, it’s a 1500. I have a 81.00 GPA, tons of extra curricular activities, and about 6-7 honor classes.
ACT = 21</p>
<p>Wow, but Wilkes is a nice option…before you know it you will be at UP. My daughter has a 3.9 GPA, ranked 3 in her high school, vice president of her senion class, captain in soccer, basketball, and softball, tons of extracurricular activities, good essay on her leadership experience at HOBY, and excellent math sat-650…her critical reading and writing is lower. She is right on the line but we will see what happens…plus her brother just graduated from Smeal and did 4 years at UP. She also took an econ course at UP over the summer for which she receied three credits. But if she gets denied to UP and accepted to Wilkes, still a nice option. We will have to wait and se what happens.</p>
<p>has anyone received a decision for division of undergrad studies? i applied september 1, but my school didn’t send everything until sept 26.</p>
<p>what do you think my chances are?
gpa 3.9
sat 1680
17 honors and ap classes throughout high school
ranked 85/530
tons of ECs.</p>
<p>and i checked no for the summer program, but the school is my first choice. i think i might change that on my application but i’m not sure.</p>
<p>thanks(:</p>
<p>is Penn State Wilkes-Barre a good campus? Or does it have like…failures?</p>
<h1>purplekiwis- its a good campus, a friend of mine visited it there and said if she got denied up she’d go there then go to up after 2 years.</h1>
<h1>ayoooboss: i appled back in september all the stuff got there by like the 3rd week in oct. my stats were like (3.78ish with 1780 sat) and i got accepted literally one week ago, so id say decenber for sure. Did you apply for summer as an option? Because thats a good difference</h1>
<p>Julia: yes I did! I applied to UP as a psych major, I hope I hear soon, I couldn’t find expected response times for apps on their website but I have been hearing a lot of people saying december…</p>
<p>also julia: what were your other stats? ec’s? hooks? curriculum rigor? (if you’re comfortable sharing) I just want to ballpark my chances seeing as how ur gpa is similar to mine (:</p>
<p>I got accepted online. When do I get my acceptance packet?</p>
<h1>ayooboss my stats are 1780 (570,610,600-cr, m, writing with 12 essay) 26 act (28 reading, with 11 essy) lots of extra cirruculur, sports, mostly service stuff with my church. 3.78 wgpa, 6 aps, 5 on apush2; instate(africanamericangirl) summer 2012 as my first choice so i could get some creds done in the summer</h1>
<h1>purplekiwis you get yur letter which isnt thick its just a confirmation paper and a little envelop. Got it 2 days later</h1>
<p>Last cirruculum was pretty tough (private catholic school in nj) but i live in pa so im instate resident</p>
<p>If i have a high sat score, but a bad GPA do i still have a chance?</p>
<p>SAT: 2090 (730 CR, 740 M)
SAT II (do they look at this?): 770 Chem, 760 Bio
GPA: 3.1 uw
rec: great</p>
<p>my 11th grade grades are the worst. However I sent my 1st semester grades from 12th, and my GPA for 12th grade is almost a 3.8. So this shows a upwards trend. I applied to Uni park. Would my SAT score give a decent shot?</p>
<p>^^ that is a pretty good sat score for penn but your gpa might make you borderline, anyways good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks Julia…I’m so anxious, you’re lucky you have already heard back congrats btw</p>
<h1>ayooboss thanks! I hope yu get in if its yur #1 choice!</h1>
<p>Does anyone have an idea of when i’ll hear back?</p>

EC and letters are all good
I know a lot of people with way lower stats that have heard back already, so I’m starting to freak out!</p>
