What are my chances of getting into the Smeal PSU if my gpa is only 3.2 but my SAT is 1500?
Some other factors are that I do a lot of business related extracurricular activites, such as DECA and Junior Achievement.
P.S. most kids from my school end up going to PSU if that helps with any estimations.
Smeal is THE HARDEST college at Penn State in which to gain admissions. You have virtually no chance with a 3.2 GPA. Especially since Penn State’s decisions are 2/3 GPA. If you’ve applied already, I would change my major to DUS before they decide on your application. From DUS you can work towards a Smeal degree just like the Smeal Pre College majors. No one is in a major until Sophomore year when they complete the entry to major requirements anyway and DUS or pre majors complete the same entry to major requirements for Smeal.
Switch to DUS. You’re not getting into Smeal with a 3.2 - and being DUS changes nothing anyway, you take the same classes and must let the same benchmarks.
