Rejected Penn State University park 1550 SAT 3.4 GPA

How did this happen?

Were you accepted to start at another campus?

From your other thread:

And a 3.4 GPA with a 1550 SAT indicates a very bright student who didn’t really try in high school.

Penn State considers GPA 2/3 of the decision, and yours may be a bit below the average. Especially if you applied to a competitive major like business or engineering – then it could be far below the average.

What major did you apply for?
Is that 3.4 unweighted or weighted?
Do you have calculus, 4 years of a foreign language, each of bio/chem/physics, and 4 units each if English and social science?
If you do, I do agree it’s a bit weird, call on Monday perhaps.

@howtobebasic did you write the optional essay? That is reviewed … if needed. Can only benefit you to write it.

My guess is you applied for a very competitive major and you tried to get by on your SAT score alone.

@howtobebasic : any update?
