<p>As of right now I have a gpa of a 3.4 unweighted and have taken 10 ap's by the end of graduation. Currently I have a 25 on my ACT but I am re-taking this Saturday hoping for a 27-29. I really really really want to go to Penn State next year, but I have no idea if I could be accepted with the grades that I currently have. Would Penn State allow me to send in my ACT score (25) now, if I can be granted admissions with those grades, great, if NOT, will they let me make a note of me re-taking the future test and sending in those grades once I receive them back? Would there be any chance of me being accepted now with the grades that I have now, or should I just wait the extra 3 weeks to send my scores?</p>
<p>My weighted is 3.7 although, weighted for my school really doesnt matter because whether you take 1 AP or 6 AP's and 5 Honors, they will only add .3 to your unweighted. However, I will have taken 10 aps by the end of HS. I originally applied for Business as my major but I had changed it to DUS because I wanted a better chance of admission. I have also visited the school and would attend the summer session to increase my chances as well.</p>
<p>slugger - If PSU is your first choice , don't fret!! You have a great shot, but if by some chance you don't get in for Fall, you can apply for summer start. You just get to campus a few months early and take summer courses before your freshman year. I know a lot of kids who did that and it worked out great for them.
That's just a back-up plan to ease your mind a little, but you may not even need it. Good luck to you!
Also - I would apply as early as possible and note that you are retaking the ACT .</p>
<p>Thanks so much, I was so concerning over getting in, it is definitely my number choice and I am willing to do anything to go there. I want to do summer program. I will e-mail the admissions officer that came to my school last week and ask them if I can submit my current scores and if they are not worthy of acceptance then they can wait until they get my updated, better scores.</p>
<p>Well I am applying for Fall 2008, but I also put on the application that I would also attend Penn State even if I was only admitted into the Summer Session.</p>
