<p>In the next few months I will be finishing up my eagle scout, and I am wondering that if I score about an 1730-1780 on the SAT and have about a 3.8 GPA ( that is unofficial because my school does not really use this trading scale) will I have a very good chance of getting in.
My other activities/ accolades are varsity golf ( I am good and have qualified for the district championship the last two years) varsity track (Im okay at this) National Honor Society, Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society, FBLA ( state qualifier) , my schools "history club" , and a member of our quiz league team.</p>
<p>Nope. Your gpa/class rank, SAT and the date of your app will be the three things that Penn State uses. I think the 2 part SAT1 is the number they look at You are better off getting your app in early. They don’t care if you are an Eagle scout, your track your athletics (unless you are a recruited athlete) or any of those other activities.</p>
<p>ECs are considered but nothing more. Scores and GPA are Very Important. <a href=“http://www.budget.psu.edu/CDSRedesign/cds.aspx?reportindicator=FreshAdmn&Location=UP&AY=20132014”>Error Page;
<p>Everything I’ve heard about Penn State is GPA/SAT count towards admission, nothing else. So why is there an essay on the application? How much weight does it carry? Do they even read it?</p>
