<p>I have yet to hear to im thinking my GPA and ECs and volunteer work is keeping me alive!</p>
<p>well there is the one on their application, and i wrote one a while ago in which i sent to James Madison. the psu lady who came to our school said if you send recommendations (which i did) and an essay it could help you if you were a border student.</p>
<p>thats weird because when i went up there this summer they said they don’t want reccommendations or anything and if they get them they just disregard them. hm, maybe i should send a few just in case. and what kind of essay are you sending? (if you dont mine me asking)</p>
<p>oh and my stats:
3.52 GPA
1760 combined SAT. 1720 from one sitting
many extracirrculars such as lacrosse, student gov’t, SADD etc etc (i cant name them all haha i hate reading through everyone else’s) and about 9 honors and 1 AP
my school has a great reputation with penn state and we’re nationally ranked. great high school</p>
<p>oh wait here i went online to check the reccommendation thing because if they considered them i’d definitely send them! but, unfortunately, it looks like they dont :(</p>
<p>“A personal statement and an activities list are recommended but not required. Applicants to the Schreyer Honors College must submit letters of recommendation, but we do not otherwise consider letters.”</p>
<p>yeah my essay was just about me being a twin and how that shaped me and how the constant competition between us will help me grow and stay determined in college, as i will always see it as a competition to do better than him. The lady told me that recommendations are somethign that they will review if you are one the border, like you could go either way</p>
