<p>I'm close to finishing my applications for 2 Pennsylvania governor schools.</p>
<p>I'm a little worried, though, because it asks for either your PSAT or SAT score - I haven't taken the SATs yet, and I didn't do so hot on the PSATs [193]... do you guys think that the scores will make a huge negative impact on my chances?</p>
<p>Also... if anyone's ever gone to any state governors' school (with an emphasis on PA), an experiences shared would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>hey i'm applying too! which ones are you applying to? I am applying to science and possibly health care--i really wanna go to science.
from what i've heard your sat/psat dont mean much. I hear it is really based on your essays and your grades and such. and if you show an interest in the topic.</p>
<p>hey! i'm applying to health care and agricultural sciences. I'm actually really hoping that I get into the agricultural science one.</p>
<p>how're you doing on your apps?</p>
<p>I'm applying to Delaware Governor's School which consists of obtaining your transcript along with 2 teacher recommendations. It's not exactly competitive.</p>
<p>PA requires, for science anyway--and the other ones as well i think, application, transcript, 2 teacher recs (1 math 1 science), Extracurricular resume, a narrative statement, and a chief essay, and counselor info/recommendation.
I hear about 500-600 kids apply and about 90-95 make it, so its somewhat competitive.
They judge you against all the applicants from your area, i think i should be fine.
we'll see.
I gotta finish my essay and do the narrative, i get back to school on the 5th, and the app has to be postmarked the 8th...cuttin' it close.</p>
<p>I'm actually worried because they judge people against my own area... my area seems to be pretty competitive.</p>
<p>But... I'm hoping. :)</p>
