<p>Just wanna hear your thoughts..im not nervous bc im pretty sure i will be denied..so here are my stats:
High School:St.Anthony's HS(very well known school on long island)
GPA:85(3.0)
SAT:CR-580 Math- 520 Writing-(horrible)450 but my essay was an 8 out of 12
Activites: Varsity Ice Hockey/Lacrosse, Pb&J Club(make pb&j sandwiches for the poor), Friar Faithful(co-founder..support all sports at home/away games),Ski club, Summer Job working on construction sites (manual labor), ping pong club,and SALT(St.anthony's leadership team)
Intended Major: Petroleum
Ethnicity: Hispanic(puerto rican)
great letters of reccomendation</p>

<p>So with all this info what are your thoughts..im hoping my major not being very popular and being hispanic would help a lot..and im not there to party im there bc PSU is the only school in the northeast with Petroleum engineering</p>

<p>thanks in advance

<p>idk, 1550 SAT is going to hurt you. like the person above said, you should retake your SATs… but you said you already replied so does this school take late scores? </p>

<p>your ec’s are okay though! </p>

<p>i’d say it’s a reach? b/c you’re applying for an engineering… math is really important!! if your grades in maths/sciences are pretty good then maybe your chances are better. and strong essays!</p>

<p>I would apply in summer as a DUS student and switch to engineering when you can. It’s easier to get in that way.</p>
