What are my chances? Do I need to do the Essay?

<p>Sex: Male
Race: White
Location: Florida
GPA: 3.44 with freshman year, 3.2 without (switched schools after freshman)
SATs: 1960/2400 1330/1600 (plan to raise it)
ACT: 31</p>

<p>Decently strong ECs and a few school awards and possibly a county wide award.</p>

<p>I did summer study at Penn State as a rising sophmore.</p>

<p>Your SAT’s are pretty good. Your gpa will hurt you, probably more than your SAT will save.</p>

<p>Meh, I guess if my GPA will hurt me that much then I don’t even want to go.</p>
