The only reason I have trouble believing that is because when I visited PSU, I spoke to an admissions director and they said that 2/3 was gpa and 1/3 was SAT. She said that the essay and extracurriculars are almost worthless filling out because they rarely ever look at them. This held true because I did not even fill out extracurriculars or an essay on my application and got in.
Sorry, but I don’t buy that “twin” story thing.
I am learning that I am not a very patient person…and hope PSU does not check how many times I check.
