Could I get into Penn State University Park?

Right now, I am a junior in high school.

My GPA is a 3.5.

In my school, only juniors and seniors can take classes to get honors credits, but my freshman and sophomore yeah I was in accelerated freshman english, accelerated sophomore english, and I was a year ahead in math.

So far my honors classes have been: comparative political systems, advanced biology, novels, formal composition, and accelerated speech.

Next year, my senior year, I am taking AP Biology, AP Literature and Composition, and AP French; as well as Honors Statistics. However, I am transferring my second semester next year, so I'm not sure what my schedule will be like for second semester, but I plan on making it very similar.

I'm in my fourth year of French, and my second year of Spanish, so by the time I graduate I will have about 7 years of foreign language.

As far as athletics, I've been in cheerleading since my freshman year, lettered twice in varsity.

I have 80+ hours of community service from coaching youth cheerleading.

As fas as clubs, I've been in student cabinet for all my years in high school, and I'm in multicultural club this year and next year.

So can I get in? I plan on majoring in nursing, and minoring in French and Spanish. I might add another major eventually, but I'm not really sure right now, except that I know I want to go for nursing. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks
