<p>I want to get into Penn State, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough. I'm a senior and I've taken about 5 courses at Penn State Mont Alto, but I want to go to University Park. I'm retaking my SATs this Saturday and I've studied hard.</p>

2

<p>SATs are very low for UP. You will probably be offered a branch.</p>

<p>Damm your sat scores are horrible and doesn’t reflect you. My gpa is a 9.42 but I got a 1600 barely studying and tomorrow Im taking another one that I studied for. 1st sat results Math - 580
510 in the other ones.
raise them up and I think ill see you there if they accept me</p>

4

<p>Most likely a branch campus unless you can get a ~1800 on your SAT</p>

5

<p>Updated SAT scores…
Math - 500
Reading - 470
Writing - 400</p>

<p>Also, I’ll be graduating high school with 27 college credits… idk if that changes or means anything.</p>

6

<p>Your scores are still pretty low for UP, unfortunately.</p>

7

<p>Would a 670 in Math, 620 in CR and a 560 in Writing be too low for University Park? I am seeing students here getting 700+ in at least two of their SAT sections and this is worrying me. I am applying to Eberly btw.</p>

<p>With an 1850, you should have a 3.7-3.8 to be safe and over a 3.3 to have a chance.</p>
