<p>i checked off would consider summer session…they still definately consider you for fall semester first right? if you checked that box that doesnt mean that you will only be accepted for the summer? i checked hte box off but took it as a i would consider it but most likely not go for the summer but i really want to go in the fall.</p>
<p>I think if you are good enough to get into the fall semester directly then they will admit you for then, if not then they will see if summer session would be a better fit.</p>
<p>ok well first of all i’m applying to both PSU-university park and the honors college. my sat is in the 1950-2010 range (i plan to take the Dec ACTs and score 31+)and i rank 55/860 students (basically top 7 percent) and gpa is 3.90. my EC’s are really good (from editor of a journal club, over 100 hrs of community service to researching in a lab in a college) i’ve also taken a decent amount of ap classes and i basically want to know what are my chances in PSU university park and the honors college. i’m not quite familiar with the honors college but i hear its REALLY competitive. do you think i have a shot at the honors college by any chance? thanks!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bother sending in those ACT scores and submit your App asap. The priority deadline for general UP admissions has passed (1st of Nov I believe and I think you missed the priority honors college deadline too). YOu look to be competitive for general admission in the fall. </p>
<p>For the honors college they will not see your SAT score but will base your admission on your letters of rec, essays, etc in the application. Try to get stellar letters of rec and produce well written essays.</p>
<p>I was looking around on this thread and I noticed you would be willing to answer questions
Do I have ny chance of getting in?
I have a 3.7881 GPA (idk if that rounds to 3.8 or not)
top 12% of my class 40/368 students
My SATs are terrible: Math 530 Writing 570 Critical Reading 480
(1010/1600) (1580/2400)</p>
<p>At first I didnt check for considering the summer program
I then went on a visit and they reccommended it
So I talked to an admissions officer, she added that I would consider starting in the summer</p>
<p>I have a solid GPA but I have taken this SAT so many times Im just not good at this test
Do I have some what of a chance?
(idk if it matters but I had everything in by around october 20th)</p>
<p>I heard a lot of first year students get placed in East, is it really as crappy as some people say it is there? How is West compared to East (If I were to say go with E-House SLO in West). I believe when I went to visit my friend who started this year, she stayed in Pollock during the summer program and her room was alright, nothing special, but that she was moving to East once the fall semester started.</p>
<p>shogunzek, I sent you a p.m.</p>
<p>hey</p>
<p>i just got my acceptance letter, and this may be a stupid question, but I just want to make sure. It says i’m accepted into the College of Engineering, so does that mean i get into my major (architectural engineering) or the school in general?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>LightzOuttt: yes that does mean you are accepted into your major
what were yor grades/credentials, I applied to PSU main campus undecided
still waiting, what were ur highschool grades and SAT</p>
<p>Well it doesn’t mean that you are in the major yet. You were accepted into the College of Engineering. For your first two years you will work at finishing off a lot of the lower level classes and weed out courses. Then at the end of your soph year you apply to be accepted into your major. Some of the engineering programs are competitive and only will take around 200 juniors per year, it is primarily based on GPA in required classes.</p>
<p>Hi,
My D applied and is still waiting but I have a question. She is interested in majoring in a science like biology that will prepare her to apply to a graduate program to become a Physician Assistant. To do that she would need to do some clinical work in hospitals during undergrad. Where do pre-med and nursing students get there clinical experience at College Park?</p>
<p>EPTR, College Park is in Maryland. Penn State is in University Park, in the town of State College.</p>
<p>I know the nursing program has required clinical work that is built in to the curriculum. The PreMed students aren’t made to do any but it is assumed that they will volunteer somewhere. Mount Nittanny Med Center is really close so a lot of premeds go there to volunteer, students also volunteer and the univ health center.</p>
<p>Volunteering and clinical experience is NOT the same.</p>
<p>‘Students gain experience in diverse settings, which include Hershey Medical Center, rural hospitals, community health agencies, and other health care settings (e.g., Rockview Prison).’
[Undergraduate</a> Programs in the School of Nursing](<a href=“http://www.hhdev.psu.edu/nurs/undergrad/BSprogram.html]Undergraduate”>http://www.hhdev.psu.edu/nurs/undergrad/BSprogram.html)
Most clinical facilities are not close to PSU (UP).</p>
<p>Hershey is some distance from State College; Mt. Nittany Medical Center and Rockview are each less than ten miles away. I’m sure someone in the school could tell you more specifically where the clinical work is done.</p>
<p>LightzOuttt, The two engineering majors that I am most familiar with, Arch and Aero, both have enrollment caps of 100 (per class). During the spring of your sophomore year you will prioritize the different departments you are interested in; students are accepted into the programs with enrollment caps based on GPA.</p>
<p>With the deadline being to today, if anybody has any insight into any of these questions I would greatly appreciate it. First, when the application asks for a major, to what extent is what we put there binding. Would be any problem for me to transfer into or out the college of engineering, which something I could be doing? Second, if I do pick an engineering major on the application, is this going to lower my chances of acceptence because engineering is generally a more competitive field? Again, any help will be appreciated.</p>
