I think you have a very good shot with your GPA. That said, just so you can set your expectations, applying early doesn’t mean anything at Penn State. As long as you apply before the deadline, you are in the exact same boat as those who applied on day one. Penn State is not a first in, first out decision process. It’s random. So you could apply on day one and hear later than someone who applies right before the deadline. Just make sure all of your materials are in before the Nov 1 deadline for early action and then just hang on and wait! It’s a brutal wait, but so worth it. Good luck!
