<p>I just got a packet from SHC saying I should send in an app. It is way past the priority deadline, so I am wondering if it is even worth it. Here are my stats, if that helps.</p>

<p>GPA UW = 3.7, Class Rank = 25/606
SAT = 2230 (1560 M + V, bastard writing section)
Took AIME test, got a 4 on it
Eagle Scout
Leadership in scout troop
Captain Chess + Quiz Bowl
Guitar + Youth Group(several) for four years
Two Programming awards
Commended SCholar
AP SCholar(I think)
Self studied AP econ</p>

<p>Well? Is there even a chance of me getting in, because I don't want to waste money if there isnt.</p>

<p>hmm well I dont know It matter how much you want it...you can still get honors classes and even in the honor program after your freshman year with petition.
However if they sent you a packet the usual phrase "Why not" does come to mind</p>

<p>its not so much as to whether you will get in, but as CH12 says it depends how much you want it. if you love penn state and feel this honors program is better than IVY League schools (which i assume your applying to with your stats) than by all means apply.</p>
