<p>Hi, I'm a high school junior and I'm started to get a little bit worried about my college choices. When I look at the mean statistics I know that I am not to par on some on my categories, the main one being GPA. If somebody here can tell me if I am shooting too high at a college, please tell me.</p>
<p>I'm a male asian</p>
<p>3.2-3.3 GPA (on 4.0 scale) Fresh/Soph/Junior Year (class of 2009)</p>
<p>Strength of courses: I have 2 AP, 3 honors, and 1 accelerated. Also in gifted program. Planning to take 3 AP and the 3 honors senior year</p>
<p>Class rank , top 1/4 of school out of class of around 500+ . My school is a higher than average school in east PA.</p>
<p>Sat: Reading:550, Writing:520, Math:710
Planning on taking them again in the summer, studying a ton to try to break 1850 or 1300.</p>
<p>After school activities:
Sports: Track, Lacrosse
Clubs: FBLA and others
I also play instruments: guitar and piano.
I also have a job
Community Service: Volunteering and local Chinese school</p>
<p>'m applying to Penn State University Park, Uconn, Umass, Pitt, Syracuse, Rutgers, and my fall back school is Temple.</p>
<p>What I want to know is what are my chances to get into Penn State Main or Pitt. I'm worried that my low GPA is not enough to get me accepted. I will be applying to Penn and Pitt and then the other schools.</p>
<p>I would be applying early for Penn State or Pitt</p>
<p>And heres a random question: does race factor in acceptance?</p>
