Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State

<p>I'm an OOS applicant from Nevada. I'm also wondering how much the personal statement counts as part of the application process (I couldn't think about what to write, the essay kind of sucks in my opinion. Other people have given me mixed reviews >____<")</p>

<p>I'm applying to the University Park campus.</p>

<p>I'm an Korean female.</p>

<p>I'm enrolled in a magnet program for math and science.</p>

<p>GPA:
unweighted: 3.719
weighted: 4.519
rank is 66 out of 683</p>

<p>SAT scores:
June 2013 - reading:590 math:690 writing:570
November 2012 - reading:640 math:750 writing:660</p>

<p>I have taken honors or AP for all my core classes.
AP classes:
World History (grade 10)
U.S. History (11)
Biology (11)
English Language & Composition (11)
English Literature & Composition (12)
U.S. Government & Politics (12)
Calculus AB (12)

Psychology (12)</p>

<p>My senior course load is pretty heavy with 5 AP classes out of the 8 I'm taking.</p>

<p>Extra curriculars:
NJROTC
Key Club
Church (really involved with community service other activities)
Orchestra
Bible club
Music in Our Hearts
Health Occupations Students of America
Girl's Golf team (only junior yaer)</p>

<p>Personal statement:
Talked about the first time I visited the library at seven years old and how I've loved reading ever since. Reading made me eager to learn, books taught me so much, kept asking questions about everything because of it</p>

<p>only thing that really matters is your SAT, GPA, and class rank. You should be accepted.</p>

<p>I agree. You look good for University Park.</p>

<p>Penn State doesn’t really look at personal statements. I know this since I wrote absolutely bizarre statement, but I somehow managed to get into the main campus.</p>

<p>I’m also Korean male student! If you want to find out korean culture in Penn State, I’m more than happy to answer any questions. Just shoot me a PM and I’ll try to get to you as soon as possible!</p>
