What are my chances for Penn State University Park?

<p>This waiting is making me crazy. My S still has this on his MyPS screen: "We are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made." I know it could be there until January. We don't know anyone who went to Penn State in a long time, so we're not sure what to expect. Penn State UP is absolutely his #1 choice.</p>

<p>His GPA is 3.54, he will finish this year with 10 AP classes. SAT (one day score) is 1780, but his ACT was 30, which supposedly translates to a 2000 SAT. We're in Maryland. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>That 3.54 is weighted GPA.</p>

<p>curriculum strength will help. ACT X GPA makes this a match, but it depends on the major he chose (reach for business and engineering, match for everything else, safety if “summer session”).</p>

<p>^^^^^yes, I agree with the above.</p>

<p>Thank you so much. He applied as undecided. He didn’t put summer session, but if he doesn’t get in I’m going to suggest he call & ask about it. I just found out another friend of his got in, that makes two, my heart just sinks with the thought he might not get in. Hopefully undecided helps.</p>
