Too late to apply?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State
1

<p>I've already applied to 11 schools, but I have 3 leftover transcripts that I ordered from my school's registrar and I figure may as well put them to use by applying to three more places.</p>

<p>Penn State (and some other Big 10 schools) was originally on my list until the college counselor I saw shot it down, but I still really want to apply. However, my stats for the University Park campus are less than stellar. I have a 1950 SAT score and only a 3.3 GPA. </p>

<p>Should I apply regardless? I know I missed the early action deadline but I still like the school well enough. I guess I just would like to hear honest opinions about people will less-than-wonderful GPAs applying. Thank you!</p>

<p>Why not? You have nothing to lose and maybe something to be gained.</p>

<p>Eh I suppose, it’s just my GPA that I’m worried about! I know that Penn State bases a lot of their decisions off of your GPA so I don’t know how much my test scores, ECs, and essay can make up for it.</p>
