Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>so I sent in my application September 15th for rolling admission. I want to enter the Liberal Arts school as a political science major.</p>

<p>gpa: 3.42 unweighted, 3.84 weighted
[I have a low gpa, but alot of it has to do with my school's grading system, so if it went on a public school grading scale, it'd be alot higher.]</p>

<p>-I've taken 19 honors classes in high school and one college-level class</p>

<p>-SATs: first time: 550 (M), 620 (CR), 650 (W)
second time: 510 (M), 650 (CR), 720 (W)
third time: 610 (M), 670 (CR), 640 (W) [overall best test date]</p>

<p>-ACTs: total score was a 28 but I got a perfect score on the reading section.</p>

<p>-clubs: I've been on student council for four years and am currently student body president, political debate club, spanish club, interact club, anti-genocide club, National Honors Society, I used to write/photograph for the school paper, </p>

<p>-sports: 4-year varsity letter for high school swim team</p>

<p>-volunteer: I've volunteered for my church's bible class for the past 7 years, volunteer through a representative program for my school [we give tours, assist at school sponsored events, etc.], and volunteered as a camp counselor for one week.</p>

<p>-work experience: I've been a lifeguard for the past two years, additionally teaching swim lessons. I babysit for several families regularly, on average 12 hours per month.</p>

<p>do you think I'll get in? I'm really nervous because 2/3 of PSU's decision is gpa. I should also note that I am in-state.</p>

2

<p>umm, i’d be surprised if you didn’t get in. PSU isn’t all that selective.</p>

3

<p>Penn State-University Park is selective.</p>

4

<p>main campus is quite selective, which is why I’m nervous.</p>

5

<p>I think you’d maybe get waitlisted or rejected. University Park as you said is quite selective and hard to get into. However you aren’t applying for Smeals at least…</p>

6

<p>sorry but could you offer some more explanation of why you think I might get rejected?</p>

7

<p>Good chance of getting in. You are have higher than average SAT scores .</p>

8

<p>Yeah as Swervmerv said, don’t listen to me.</p>
