Another 'chance me' thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State

<p>Hello, could anyone chance me please? :-)</p>

<p>~ 3.55-3.59 UW/4.0 GPA
27 ACT
About 6 Honors and 3 AP (AP's all senior year) classes
EC: Tennis (mostly JV, some low varsity), NHS, German Club (Vice-President), Social Justice Club. . .
Intended Major: International Politics
White/Non Hispanic [First Generation Student; An Immigrant from Eastern Europe]</p>

<p>And I also looked at Penn State's application, and it didn't see them mentioning recommendation letters at all. Are they required, recommended, or not considered at all? I'd prefer the latter, since I had to change schools Senior year and, unfortunately, my teachers/counselor don't know me very well.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I understand chancing has become too repetitive, but could you at least answer my questions, please? :)</p>

<p>Are recommendation letters required, recommended, or not considered at all? And do you think I lower my chances of being accepted to the Main Campus, if I include my alternative choice?</p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>Can’t comment on your chances, but as for letters of recommendation - NO - they are not required for admission. They are, however, required if you apply to SHC.</p>

<p>Thank you for you reply. </p>

<p>Is it considered at all, though?</p>

5

<p>As far as I know, they’re not considered at all. There’s just purely too many people applying for that to actually work.</p>

<p>I’d do summer session just to be safe.</p>

<p>^ Thank you once again.</p>

<p>I did check the ‘summer session,’ although I am not completely sure what it is and how it works. :slight_smile: Now time to write two essays and apply.</p>

<p>Two more questions:</p>

<p>1) What percentage of non-UniPark campus students get to live in dorms? (Berks, for example)</p>

<p>2) Will I be considered a Pennsylvania resident if I moved here on August 15th, 2011 and will apply for Fall 2012? (and agreed to attend the summer session)</p>
