GPA and ECs are fine, bring up your Standardized Test scores tho.

From what i hear on here, Penn State mainly looks at test scores/gpa.

Study hard for the standardized tests and bring them up because PSU places a lot of emphasis on them. Also, since admission is rolling, get your application in as early as possible (there's no EA/ED though).

Yeah, Penn State's decision is 2/3 gpa and 1/3 SAT. I would suggest you keep/raise those grades as much as possible and get your application in early. Since Penn State's admission is rolling it gets harder to get accepted the longer you wait. I would suggest calling the admissions office. They are very helpful.
