I’m about to submit my regular decision applications and I’m last minute considering putting in an application at Penn State but I don’t know if it’s worth my time or if I’ll just get rejected so please chance me!
-Female
-Out of state from Virginia
-GPA: 3.81 weighted and I think 3.61 unweighted
-SAT: 1220
-APS: I took 3 APs, psych, lang, and environmental
-I’ve also taken a few honors and 4 dual enrollment/college level classes
-I’ve been on the honor roll every year, although I’m not sure this matters
-I have around 80 volunteer hours at my local food pantry
-I’m on my school’s gymnastics team and I’m team captain this year
-I was going to apply DUS and then possibly try and transfer to business for marketing
As I told my kids; you never know what they’re looking for at any given moment when they’re reviewing apps. If you think you might want to go then you should apply. You should also check your naviance too see that stats of other kids from your HS.
Your stats would be in line for an admission to DUS. The application has to be COMPLETE by tomorrow though in order to be a regular decision applicant. So as long as you can get everything submitted (test scores, etc) by tomorrow you will make the regular decision deadline.
If your school has Naviance, you can check that. Many schools do not use Naviance though, so in that case you can look at previous admissions by looking at the UP common data set.
