<p>How is Penn State at Communications and Psych? Also, the business school would be of interest to me.</p>

<p>Also,My GPA is mainly low because of a poor freshman year, with A GPA of about 2.8. Since then I have gone straight up.</p>

<p>I’m about a year and a half away from college apps, but my stats then should be something like this:</p>

<p>3.2 UW GPA,
classes:
AP Psych(junior year)
AP Gov(Senior year)
AP English (senior year)
Honors American Lit (sophomore year)
Honors Modern Fiction (Junior Year)
Honors US History II (Junior Year)
Honors Management-business ed. (Junior year)</p>

<p>Sats should be about 2100 total.</p>

<p>EC’s:
Summer Camp Counselor for 3 Years
Volunteer at Local Library
Assistant Job at Local Real Estate agency
DECA Junior and Senior Years
HS Rec basketball freshman-senior year</p>

<p>Reccomendations should be good from Guidance Counselor, along with Favorite English and Favorite Math teacher.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot?</p>

<p>Whats your weighted GPA? SATs are good (if that is the score you will be submitting) but your GPA will hold you back. </p>

<p>PSU won’t look at your letters of Rec so don’t bother with them. </p>

<p>PSU’s Business school is very good and well-recognized in the inndustry. Comm and Psych programs are also good and are well-connected with companies for internships.</p>

<p>At least at the PhD level, the communications department is ranked #3 in the nation. You would think alot of that “goodness” would seep down to the undergraduate level.</p>
