OOS seem to be the trend early on
OhBoyChoboy has she applied? If not, file that app ASAP. Stats look good, PSU is all about GPA and scores, and mine got in with a 28 ACT and 1900 SAT. Would say she has a very good chance! Don’t fret about essays and extracurriculars, and people say that chances can be better with checking off Summer option and applying DUS but mine did neither. Good luck to her!

My daughter had very similar stats to your daughter’s OhBoyChoBoy, including being from a small catholic school of the same class size, and was accepted last night.
I would say your daughter is very likely to get in! Good luck!!!
congratulations to all of the acceptances coming in!
@OhBoyChoboy make sure she gets everything in before November 30. It gets much more competitive after that. But her stats look like a good match for UP fall admission. Good luck!
