<p>awesome stats for PSU or rutgers.... you are in man! BTW, does anyone know if Penn State recalculates GPA by disregarding Gym and other non-academic classes? I heard that due to the insane number of applications they recieve each year, this isn't possible..... Also, how much does being in-state help for PSU?</p>
