<p>University Park - YES
Honors Program - if you have 1300+ SAT Reasoning YES</p>

<p>To increase your chances of grants/scholarships, I wouldn't put down your ethnicity because Penn State has a lot of white folks. I guess in one of the UC's you'd get a sort of affirmative action (since most students are Asian), but putting it down for a school in PA is generally unwise.</p>

<p>You will have 0 problems getting into U park... Unless you write some obsenities or "go ___________" enter one of their 5 or 6 rivaling football teams you have a 99.99% chance of getting in. Even if you were to write that... they generally don't read the essays if you meet the stat requirements and are not on "the border". So you can test fate if you'd really like to live on the edge :D</p>

<p>No worries there... that's a semi-safety for you</p>
