Does Penn State even look at the personal statement? I don’t know if I should bother writing it, is it worth it? I’m applying test-optional and my GPA is on the upper end of the spectrum (4.5w 3.96 uw).
You have a strong GPA, but if you don’t submit your SAT they will take a harder look at personal statement/activities list along with class rigor and academics.
I would write it either way-especially with not everyone submitting their scores and it being different this year. It’s stated on their website that it is highly recommended
What major?
I want to do finance but I’m applying DUS because I’ve heard it’s a lot easier to get into.
