What are my chances PSU or Schreyer's

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I was wodnering if what I have taken/am scheduling for next year is enough for either PSU or Schreyer's Honors college. If I don't get into Schreyer's that's okay, I might end up going for a gateway admission which means if I do well enough my first semester at PSU I will get accepted at Schreyer's.
My 9th grade classes aren't the best because my parents choose most of them, moral of the story don't let them. :-)
I also missed a year and a half of middle school due to a rare medical condition so I'm basically working like a person who skipped a grade and a half.
I had to take a lower math class in 9th grade to get caught up but I am in College Prep Math now (our standard for kids planning on going to college) however do you think it's enough? </p>

<p>BTW my current unweighted GPA is 3.5 but I will have a weighted one next year when I take Advanced and AP classes.</p>

<p>Oh and sorry for the typos, this is just a quick list I put together and I’m kind of in a rush right now because I have a project I need to finish.</p>

<p>Also if you went or are going to either of these schools I’d love to hear your stories and/or words of wisdom. :-)</p>

<p>Bump!!! :-)</p>

<p>Schreyer is ALL GPA. No ACT/SAT, extracurrics, cancer curing, etc. ever comes into the picture. I assume you’re aware.</p>

<p>Therefore, anything short of straight 4.0 almost kills your odds entirely. After all, you do have to consider you are trying to be admitted to the finest Honors program in the country. Personally, I’d have my safeties lined up now…</p>

<p>I’ll probably end up with at least a 4.0 weighted next year with my advanced an AP courses. Schreyer’s is my reach college, even if I don’t make it I can go for a Gateway admission, or just stick with PSU, I’m fine with either option. </p>

<p>PSU wise what do you think my chances are?</p>
