<p>so i plan on applying to penn state but i feel that i don't have the stats yet. I plan on taking my act and sat2's in october and retake my sat in november. i haven't done any actual in depth research but i have a few questions. is it possible to send in your app now and then send in your scores once you take the exams. I seriously want to go to this school but don't have the stats.</p>
<p>my second question is, how do i let penn state know that i wish to do UP? i really would like to do the summer session as senior summers can be to suspensful also i will have an easy time adjusting in the fall if i am accepted.</p>
<p>as for my chance me:</p>
<p>3.02 uw gpa with most challenging workload available in math/science.
1860 sat score.
640 bio e score
not that great ec's: 50 hrs at a hospital. 4 years of fbla and 2 years of another club.</p>
<p>if i were to send in my app now that is what it would look like.</p>
<p>by november my gpa would def go up with 1st quarter grades although i believe penn state looks at up to junior grades. also my act/sat scores would be at least 32/2200 (i am doing amazing at practice tests now after studying all summer). sat2s would also go up to the 750s in math2 and bio although i don't think penn state</p>
<p>well i looked up everything including the bubble chart and it looks like getting a 2300/34+ will be the only way penn state will even consider looking at my app.</p>
<p>gotta get to work now~</p>
<p>but now i have another question. my mind is set on penn state but i don’t know if i should take the sat in november or october. i wanna get my sat2’s down so i can apply to other places but i wanna get my sat down asap so i can apply to penn state fast. </p>
<p>do you guys rec i take my sat in november or october?</p>
<p>There is noway you need a 2300+ to get into Penn State. That is an extremely high score that would be on average with like Princeton and Harvard. Penn States average is around a 1900. A good friend of mine is now a soph there and got in with ECs near yours, maybe a little bit more and a 3.2 GPA and an 1850 on the SATs. IDK if you are a Pennsylvania resident but that really increases your odds aswell. Its a good school but you don’t need stellar grades to get in. Apply early and rolling admins will help you aswell. Goodluck, i’m applying there aswell, but its more of a fallback for me. Its too far in the country for my liking.</p>
<p>Your unweighted is 3.02 - do you know what your weighted is cause they take weighted. It is 2/3 GPA & 1/3 SAT, that is why the bubble chart is hurting you with the GPA.</p>
<p>GOOD NEWS GUYS. My counselor said an error on my transcript literally screwed up my gpa and now i have a 3.2. our school does NOT WEIGHT and i am mad happy now cause my chances are just increasing. I am going in 2mrw again to ask about another issue with my transcript (they forgot to include my algebra hnrs class i took in eight grade which still counts towards my gpa).</p>
<p>Take your SAT in October! PA high schools always recommend October if you are applying to PSU, so the grades are reported-and-recorded before the Nov. 30 deadline</p>
