Chance/Match Me - less competive GPA [3.55 or 92.5/100; 82 -> 97 -> 97.5], high SAT [1530], HS Junior from PA [< $20k/year]

You’ll get into 1-3 is my guess but an acceptance and an affordable acceptance are two different things.

It’s why you need a Shippensburg as an instate safety. Or another that offers your major not named PSU or Pitt.

Your GPA, if accurate, and I’m not 100% sure it is - but a 3.55 is low and a test doesn’t make up for it.

I’m worried about affordability. If you’re looking OOS go South - Alabama, Ole Miss, Miss State, UAH for smaller. Bama may offer you its Hispanic scholarship - which puts you very low. All tuition and one year housing paid. Even without you’ll get $30500 off $32kish tuition.

I suspect you don’t want to go to a PSU branch…
