PSU BA/MD program?

<p>azn, pretty good app other than the gpa/rank
however, i'm not a fan of everyone who says that their school is 'top' or high-ranked or whatever.
idk if colleges like stuff like that either, so be wary about it.</p>

<p>btw, what school do you go to?</p>

<p>no problem :]</p>

<p>I don't think azn will tell colleges his school is "top"....I think that was for us to get insight on his hs life/rigor.</p>

<p>I guess I'm just partisan against people who claim their school to be 'top' just because USN says so (or even if USN doesn't say so)</p>

<p>idk, just call me a hater</p>

<p>Well...rankings are stupid...so can't blame you on that one.</p>

<p>council rock high school north</p>

<p>it has a good rep in PA. Its not like the best, but we get decent matriculations into top schools and we get a good amount of National Merit Semifinalists (15 in a class of 549).</p>

<p>our boys are in state finals for soccer :).</p>

<p>DUDE>>>>COUNCIL ROCK????!!!</p>

<p>North Penn owns Council Rock. overall.
end of story.</p>

<p>jk lol its awesome to know a kid that lives in se pa</p>

<p>So does rank in psu matter more than sat I/IIs/AP scores?</p>

<p>cuz my ranking's like 7% or something like that, and my sat I M+V is 1580...</p>

<p>psu does NOT take a composite SAT score...i just found out</p>

<p>yes psu looks at ONE sitting.</p>

<p>yea it kind of sucks because my highest composite is 1500, but my highest in one sitting is 1470, which isnt bad but 1500 is a huge milestone for progs -_-</p>

<p>yeah...colleges look more at like...ranges...if they see that 15... then it doesn't matter what the last two digits are, yer chances just increased tenfold.</p>

<p>hey just a question, have all of you already submitted your app to psu? i did it last week, but a lot of my friends did it MUUUCH earlier saying they ahve a better chance then...idk...</p>

<p>this prog is not rolling so they don't give an advantage to people who turn it in early. my friend turned it on the deadline last year and is in the prog right now. I sent mine out too last week so don't worry</p>

<p>same here...sent it out a week ago.</p>

<p>sweet...good luck to everyone! :)</p>

<p>did y'all write your essays in the straightfwd format or more of the random?</p>

<p>what do you mean? i answered the question asked....</p>

<p>but yeah, holy crap man, the app in general was the most work out of all of mine bc of all the extra q's for honors college and for the prgrm.</p>

<p>what did everyone say for the invention they wanted to witness?</p>

<p>i didnt do honors.....</p>

<p>I meant did you straight ouit answer the questions (My strength is x, This motivated me to become a physician...etc) or did you go with a different approach ?</p>

<p>I sort of...idk...built up towards the answer if ya know what i mean...i did it backwards by providing background and detail and ending with the answer to the question</p>
