<p>I agree with slipjig - your stats look good for University Park. They mainly look at your gpa and sat score, but I would put everything on the application. Definately apply early, it helps lessen senior year stress having an acceptance in hand. Good luck!</p>

<p>thank you! i still have a few more questions though.</p>

<p>right now i’m having a hard time writing my personal statement. do they look into the personal statement a lot?</p>

<p>also, i’m wondering if being a minority helps. i heard that its hard for asians to get into colleges because they have to compete with other asians to get into the college for the minority pool. is this true?</p>
