<p>I am an African-American female:
-2.7 GPA unweighted (not the greatest, I know)
-1550 SAT (500 Math, 500 CR, 550 Writing)</p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities:
-4 Years in the Multi-Cultural group at my school; VP senior year
-2 years of volunteer work through the community program
-2 Years on Prom Committee</p>
<p>I'm looking to stay within the New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey area but I am open to other areas. Also I'm looking to major in Criminal Justice.</p>
<p>Penn State, Rutgers, SUNY’s Bump that SAT score up to 1700 and they will be match</p>
<p>Right now, not much I can think of</p>
<p>Xtreme, are you sure Penn State would be a match?</p>
<p>Not sure, could be high match since Penn State weighs GPA more than other stuff. You need to factor in the race also.</p>

I don’t know where you got the idea that makes a difference at Penn State.
Penn State would be a reach. The OP’s score is in the bottom 25%ile and the GPA is in the bottom 5%. [C</a>. Freshman Admission](<a href=“http://www.budget.psu.edu/CDS/FreshmanAdm.asp?Location=UP&AY=20122013]C”>http://www.budget.psu.edu/CDS/FreshmanAdm.asp?Location=UP&AY=20122013) </p>
<p>OP, you need to think about how much your parents will pay. What is your home state?</p>
