How hard is it to get accepted if you're out of state?

Colleges & Universities Penn State
1

I have a 2010 SAT score.
3.7 unweighted GPA, 4.1 weighted
cross country 2 years
soccer 1 year
robotics 2 years
and does anyone know what will help for extracurriculars besides leadership programs?

Apply early (rolling admissions) and I, personally, think you’re in. GPA is pretty solid, SAT higher than plenty I’ve heard of around here.

3

I think you are definitely in. EC’s in the field of major for which you are applying might help.

Being out of state will not affect the decision. (They’re happy to have your tuition dollars. ;))

I already completed a summer research program for astronomy
