<p>I am a sophomore student at Emmaus High School, in PA with a current standing GPA of 2.78. I am aiming to improve my GPA to at least a 3.0 by the time I submit my application but, I am interested in majoring in Political Science and was wondering could I get in with the GPA assuming Emmaus’s grading policy and good SAT/ACT scores? Could I get into these schools?</p>

<p>Kutztown University - Somewhat of a match
Penn State regional campuses (then transfer to main) - Match for branches, not Main
U. Pitt regional campuses - Not sure.
The Citadel - Slight Reach
University of Rutgers - Reach
U. Delaware - Reach
U. Maryland - Reach
U. West Chester - Not sure.
VMI - Slight Reach
North Dakota State - Not sure.
Harvard (for fun) - Epic Fail. </p>

<p>This is even if your SAT’s were 1200/1600. Your GPA is way too low and I’m assuming you even get a 3.0. Going OOS is quite hard and standards have gone up for sure since I applied as it always does.</p>

<p>One question…</p>

<p>Kutztown is one of the EASIEST schools in PA to get into…Why do you say it would be somewhat?</p>

5

<p>I don’t know if I can chance you right now since you’re only a sophomore. You never know what’s gonna happen junior year.</p>

<p>But, assuming you do get a 3.0+ and good SAT…</p>

<p>Kutztown University - no opinion
Penn State regional campuses (then transfer to main) - match
U. Pitt regional campuses - no opinion
The Citadel - high match/reach-ish
University of Rutgers - reach
U. Delaware - no opinion
U. Maryland - reach
U. West Chester - no opinion
VMI - no opinion
North Dakota State - match?
Harvard (for fun) - ROFL</p>

<p>For ALL the schools you are applying to, try to show an upward trend in your grades to strengthen your chances, ESPECIALLY for heavy weights like Harvard.
