<p>What is it based on? </p>
<p>I "heard" they don't look at SAT scores, which I hoped would get me in. So what's the deal? GPA + essays? </p>
<p>Also, can I apply to both the 6yr med AND schreyer's? I can't find the option to apply for the 6 yr med on myPSU.</p>
<hr>
<p>Also something separate. What are the scholarships for PSU? I have heard about "braddock" but I don't know what it is lol. I heard PSU is fairly stingy with scholarships since the in-state tuition is fairly cheap.</p>
<p>Schreyer admissions on based on GPA’s, essays AND EC’s, especially those demonstrating leadership and community involvement. By the way, you still need to present SAT/ACT scores for admission to PSU in the first place, since you need to be admitted to the school before they look at your Schreyer application.</p>
<p>I see no reason why you can’t apply to both the early-admission med school and SHC, but you cannot get both. If you are admitted to the med-school program, you are NOT eligible for SHC.</p>
<p>I believe the Braddock scholarship is intended for diversity purposes, but I’m not certain of that.</p>
<p>Thanks QuietType, that’s helpful</p>
<p>Braddock is for the Eberly College of Science, and the amount varies. The website says it’s for these majors: “Astronomy & Astrophysics, Biochemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Forensic Science, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Physics, or Pre-Medicine at Penn State”</p>

<p>They only offer ~10 full-rides a year. Scholarship winners need an “exceptional” high school transcript, usually a 1480/1600 SAT or higher, great letters of recommendation, great essays for the SHC, and continuing involvement in scientific research.</p>

<p>Ooh! When do we hear for this? Coincidentally I have a fitting “profile” based on what you mentioned.</p>
