What are my chances of getting into Penn State Engineering?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State
1

I’m a junior from out of state and I’m interested in Civil Engineering

My SAT score is my only really weak point with a 1290: 690 in math and 600 in english but I will be trying to improve it…

I have a 4.0 GPA with all honors/AP

AP Classes taken/will take by end of high school:
AP World
AP US
AP Lang
AP Calc BC
AP Italian
AP Physics C

I also have done many hours of community service.

I am a member of Key Club and Patriots Club which both help the community around me.

I’m a member of 3 honor societies: Math, Language, and National.

Throughout high school I have also taken 3 college level engineering courses and other college level electives plus physics.

I also have a job working for a test prep company as an assistant. And I also am a counselor at a sleepaway camp.

What are my chances of getting in next year based on what I have shared?

I’d say try to get your SAT score and should be fine although this year Penn State has been tough especially engineering… We went through the process this year with my son.

Is civil engineering a direct admit only program? As in you cannot switch into it from other majors? If it is not I recommend going the DUS route.
