<p>Penn State does admissions by formula, and while your GPA is fine, I know many who have been rejected with higher SAT scores than yours. However, I think you have a great shot at most of your other places, with the only real reaches being UMich, USC, and WashU. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the post.
Do you think that my AP and honors courses strengthen my chances anywhere or do colleges not look at that so closely?</p>

<p>I got rejected to Wisconsin's engineering program so it was more a reach after all.</p>

<p>Are you an American Indian or Indian from India? The latter is no a minority for admissions purposes at most colleges.</p>
