<p>You’ll likely want to boost your SAT scores by 100 points in each section.</p>

<p>If you can project an image of an appropriate focus with your ECs and get 650+ on the SAT Math, I think you have a very good chance at each. Otherwise, you may not have any chance at A&M. </p>

<p>Can anyone help me?

<p>I don’t know anything about Penn State but for A&M it would be a challenge. For an auto academic admit to A&M your SAT M+CR has to be at least 1300 with at least a 600 in each section. You’re at 1130 now. A&M has the state of Texas auto admit rule for Texas kids in the top 10% of their class and then the academic auto admits. Being below those 2 groups would make it tough to get into PetE.</p>

<p>What is your state of residence?</p>

<p>Wow, with UT system’s being in the news, it’s ridiculous that I forgot how the first choice admits were selected.</p>

<p>I live PA.</p>

<p>Well I’m in the top 5% for my GPA in my class (roughly 400 students).</p>

<p>Get your SAT up and you should be fine for Penn State. Aim for a 650+ in math, and a 600+ in CR and writing…</p>

<p>My son got into Penn as an OOS, with 620 Math 590 CR and 580 Writing, if that helps.</p>

<p>I’m a junior at penn state in chemical engineering, and judging by the information you’ve given I would say you have a good shot at getting into main. GPA is the majority of what is looked at, and your SATs are probably a little above average for those accepted to main(except for the CR). Applying as a pngE major doesn’t really make it any harder to gain acceptance, since you don’t really get accepted into your major until spring semester sophomore year, and typically with a GPA requirement. Good luck!</p>

<p>I plan to apply to penn state for civil engineering with math:620 reading:590 writing:560 (as of now) and looking at their scores I think I have a pretty good shot</p>
