<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT: 2050
[</em>] SAT IIs: 650 Lit, 700 US History
[<em>] GPA: 3.75 UW, 4.45 W
[</em>] Rank: School doesn’t rank
[<em>] Other stats: AP European History (4), AP US History (5), AP Language and Composition (5). I will have taken 8 APs by graduation all concentrated in the humanities.
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: One of my stronger suits, although the chances that they actually read it are slim to none.
[<em>] Teacher Recs: I had to waive my rights, but I’m sure they were good. Although I don’t think I sent them - I applied in early October and I don’t think my recs were finished yet.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Waived, but hers was probably stellar. Once again, I doubt she was finished yet when I applied.
[<em>] Hook (if any): In-state
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[</em>] State or Country: PA
[<em>] School Type: Highly competitive public
[</em>] Ethnicity: White
[li] Gender: Female[/li][/ul]Other Factors: Loads of ECs, leadership, and work experience, but I don’t think they saw everything because they saw my transcript that only included grades 9-11.
General Comments: I was accepted in late October. It was a safety but I’ve already been accepted to two other safeties (Pitt and Temple, and I’m fairly sure I’ll get into TU Honors) so there’s little to no chance I’m going to PSU. I haven’t visited campus yet but from what I’ve read it’s not a good fit for me. Still, never say never!</p>
