College Search & Selection

<p>Do you think i will be accepted into Penn State, University Park?</p>

<p>i have a 3.12 Cumulative GPA right now as a Junior and it is rising. On the SAT's i scored a 1230 on the 1600 scale and 1750 on the 2400 scale, with a 560 in reading, a 670 in math, and a 520 in writing but i am hoping to score higher in every section because i have only taken it once. i also will have taken two AP classes and one honors class in highschool. I will also have 4 season of Junior Varsity sports and 3 seasons on varisty. Also my dad is a donating alumni to the school.</p>

<p>Do i have a good chance of acceptance? I am also looking into doing a summer school at penn state which will hopefully strengthen my chances of acceptance.</p>

<p>i’m sorry to say, but I don’t think your chances are too high. I know someone with a 3.2 UW GPA, 2120 SAT, and 6 AP classes that was rejected from University Park. But still, focus on improving your SAT and your chances will improve.</p>

<p>I think you have a fair shot, I was just recently accepted and have similar credentials. Only my SAT scores weren’t as strong, I don’t have a donating alumni parent, nor did I ever do any summer programs at University Park. However, I was very involved in clubs and varsity sports. Good luck! I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Your GPA is lowish for Penn State.</p>

<p>27% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher
30% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74
26% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49</p>

<p>So, over 80% have a higher GPA…that suggests that those who have a lower GPA are athletes or something like that. </p>

<p>Your GPA may be “rising” but it would be hard to increase it enough by the time of admission decisions.</p>

<p>Kag…what was your GPA and what was your SAT breakdown? Are you a URM?</p>

<p>You have a pretty good chance!
I wasn’t accepted into University Park but I was accepted into the DuBois Campus.
My GPA is like a 3.3 and I got a 1480 on my SAT so you should have a better chance than me. But I also was involved in sports, volunteer, work and AP classes, and other community college course classes…but also maybe apply to one of the smaller campuses? You will have a better chance. Everyone transfers to University Park anyway, so you will go there soon if you really want to :)</p>
