<p>Chance me for University park.....also Purdue, Syracuse, Pepperdine, Ohio State Columbus if you could thank you!!!!!</p>

<p>7 Honors classes and 4 AP(taken throughout Gr10-12)</p>

<p>103hrs of community service</p>

<p>Honor Role in Freshmen year</p>

<p>According to the US news ranking, the HS I've been in for 3 years is number 1 in my State.</p>

<p>My ACT score is only 22(it sucks, retaking in December) but Purdue and Penn State makes it optional for us international students.</p>

<p>102 on TOEFL iBT(88 is minimum for Engineering major)</p>

<p>I was in a pretty terrible school in Canada during Freshmen year so my Grades in that year was like a 3.3 or something bad like that converted to GPA system. My classes during Freshmen year was also very terribly picked. So I have a good Grade progress throughout my high school career. (I will include that in my Application if I could)</p>

<p>Good teacher recommendation, Good essay</p>

<p>My Major is Computer Engineering/Science, Financial aids don't matter. I took 4 semesters of Cisco in my school to prepare me for this. AP comp sci is not available in my school but I m currently taking AP Calc</p>

<p>I currently live in US, F2 Visa, Been in US for 2 and half a year and Canada for 3 years. I'm Chinese born but Canadian Citizen.</p>

<p>And like my names says I got 800 SAT Chinese if that matters at all(also speaks 3 languages, Chinese English and Took 3 years of French).</p>

<p>Remember I took TOEFL and got a score higher than Penn State average, thus not required to submit my SAT/ACT score!!!!!</p>

<p>Thank you. Best Regards</p>

<p>Thank you for both of your replies. As I said it’s optional for me, as quoted from Penn State website
"Standardized Tests</p>

<p>SAT or ACT</p>

<p>The SAT or ACT is required if your native language is English, or if you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. It is optional if your native language is not English and not required if you have completed a year of post-secondary course work. Please visit The College Board or ACT, Inc. to arrange to take the exam."</p>

<p>Since Mandarin is my native language its optional for me. and also </p>

<p>“A minimum TOEFL score of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL” Which I got 102 and is over the min score for any major and average score at PSU.</p>

<p>Need more Chances thread please</p>
