My daughter wanted to go to the main campus, but she was only offered Abington.
SAT 1230
GPA 3.85 W ( Her school does not give extra points for honors classes, and I am wondering if this hurt her. If they were given the extra point, her WGPA wouid be over a 4. She also took a college class and received an A)
Out of state
Applied undeclared science major
Anyway, she only wanted to go to the main campus so she is not going to accept the offer.
She played 2 sports.
Varsity soccer 4 years
Choir
Girl Scout For 12 years and lots of other extras
