Penn State

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've always wanted to go to Penn State but for some reason I never really tried to get excellent grades so I could get in. I've gotten very decent grades all my life until this year. I'm still only a sophomore in high school but need to step up my game ASAP so I can get into college. </p>

<p>I was salutatorian of my 8th grade class & was in GATE (gifted and talented education) I was on the honor roll all throughout middle school.
Freshman year GPA - 3.67 (no IB courses)
Sophomore year 1st semester GPA - 2.17
Current GPA - 3.2
By 2nd semester I should be able to bring it up to 3.67 GPA.
I am also in the Ag/Science Academy. I play waterpolo & I'm on the varsity swim team.
Plan to play for the rest of high school.
Junior & Senior year I have set a goal to have AT LEAST a 4.0 GPA and enroll in IB (International Baccalaureate) courses.
I may join leadership but have not decided.
I predict my SAT/ACT scores to be a little above average. </p>

<p>I am also part of the Performing Arts Magnet Program and will be receiving a certificate or diploma (haven't decided what path I will be taking) </p>

<p>Can someone tell me if I have a shot at Penn? Or any other university. </p>

<p>If you can reach your goal of a 4.0 and get a 1800 on SAT you should be in. Make sure you join leadership
