<p>u will get in.. ur credentials are much higher than psu asks for. Also u have a chance at NYU stern since u live in the city...</p>

<p>You have a shot at the honors college (Schreyer)- although it's very competitive (avg SAT scores in the low 1400s). I would suggest applying - it's a seperate application with essays and recommendations. Check out the website. You get smaller classes, better advising, travel grants, priority registration, and more (plus a $3500 annual scholarship).</p>

<p>what does living in NYC have to do with getting a better shot at NYU Stern? NYU is a private university and couldn't care less if the applicant lived in NYC or Idaho.</p>

<p>actually idaho might help a person :P</p>

<p>I just say PSU is not sure cuz we got so many freakin freshman this year :P</p>

<p>I definately think they're gonna make admission harder next year coz they over-accepted this year. Its just the way it works.</p>
