I’m a student at Penn State right now and was admitted with a 3.2 GPA and a 30 on my ACT. I 100% believe that my ACT score is the main reason I was admitted. Try to get your GPA up in the next two years, and if you can, take some honors classes or APs (you don’t have to, but it could help you look better by taking a more rigorous schedule). Prep for your ACT/SAT as much as you can- you only take those exams a few times in your life, it won’t kill you to try really hard on them. PSU cares mostly about the numbers. When it comes to applying, apply AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because with the rolling admissions, spots start to get filled up early and you likely have a better chance early in the process. Apply to DUS because that would probably be easiest to get into, Smeal is the hardest to get into! Good luck, and don’t stress too much this early. Be your best self, work as hard as you can, and the rest will follow. Hope you get in, it’s amazing here!
