Hi I am a PA resident with a GPA of 3.85 weighted all honors and have taken 4 AP courses. My sat score is 1080 (new sat) and I am currently involved with NHS with 50+ volunteer hours. Please respond thanks!!!
Decent shot, I think. Keep grades up, and probably take the SAT again if you have time–they care less about the SAT than GPA, but it’s still pretty important.
Forgot to include: I plan on doing the offered summer program and I am going to select undecided for my major:)
Thank you! I’m just really nervous because this is absolutely my favorite school.
Your stats are good for summer admission maybe fall. Be careful of going undecided that might not be the best strategy. I think they’re are some majors that are exclusive to some of the satellite campus’
What’s your major, OP?
On my application I went with undecided, but I really would prefer to major in biology. Sorry for the slow response!
This is for Penn State main, sorry for not clarifying, and I put on my application that I would be willing to do the summer session.

Merged identical threads

Great article Erin’s Dad! I was just wondering about whether being a legacy students helps or not, especially since on PSU’s application they ask about it
