Ours neighbors two kids are in Schreyers. These two kids are very heavy involved in their community. There were top student when they were in HS. They were in the very top 2-5% of their class. Not really sure what it takes to get into SHC.

However, your stats are great. My son had a slightly higher UW GPA and a slightly higher SAT score. If you are looking for merit aid just know it may not happen. My son and several of his friends didn’t get merit, as well. Also, two his friend had the same GPA and SAT scores as he did. Exactly the same application stats. They were originally bumped to a branch campus. They ended up taking summer session to make it in for Fall at UP. You just never know how PSU makes these decisions. Our school and our neighborhood has a high amount of students at PSU campuses. Currently the 7 students in neighborhood are at UP (1 started summer, 1 transfer from branch after 1st yr. the rest UP admits). Tons alumni students here as well.

Good Luck to you. You do have great application.
