<p><<…You probably won’t need any more than 3 pairs of sheets…>></p>
<p>Sorry - you had me giggling with that line! :)<br>
DS#1 took 2 sets of sheets, but I don’t think he ever used the 2nd set. He would just take his sheets off, wash them, and put them back on.</p>
<p>@DylanK: Unfortunately no, but I really really really want to before I graduate.</p>
<p>@Grcxx3: Haha, just trying to be on the safe/cleanly side of an answer. I only brought two myself, so I figured no more than three is needed if you wanna rotate like I did.</p>
<p>When is the earliest you can apply? Does penn state offer early decision? When is the deadline for that? Does applying early decision help your odds of getting in?</p>
<p>Earliest you can apply is September 1st, and just applying early in general helps your chances loads. Anything after November 30th is based on luck.</p>
<p>Admission are “rolling”, so (in theory) you have a similar chance applying sept. 1st as you do nov. 30…BUT in reality, as DylanK stated, applying earlier does help, mainly because of the sheer number of people admitted, the fewer slots they have left, the more restrictive they get…</p>
<p>Also, if you do get in, and you applied early, you’ll hear back before winter break…so I got into Penn State before I even had to apply anywhere else…kinda took the pressure off…</p>
<p>My daughter heard toward the end of January and applied Sept. 1st., so you still may wait awhile to hear!</p>
<p>So the early decision deadline is Nov 30?</p>
<p>…there is NOT early decision…its just basically the earlier you apply, the better your chances…and if you do get in, you are not bound by anything, just accepted.</p>
<p>ok sorry for all the questions i was sure they did but i guess you are right. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I am currently a rising high school senior aspiring for a future MD. My family is in that difficult spot where we won’t get much financial aid because of income but at the same time cant pay for an Ivy League education, thus im looking for reputable institutions with great premed programs such as USC, Vanderbilt, University of Miami, and WashU in St. Louis who give merit aid? Do you happen to know which of these is best for premed? any others I should be looking at? How about NYU?</p>
<p>First off, props on the cool username.</p>
<p>Secondly, I frankly have zero idea about pre-med at any of those schools. This thread (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1100845-ask-me-anything-prospective-science-majors-premed-general-questions.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1100845-ask-me-anything-prospective-science-majors-premed-general-questions.html</a>), however, may answer some of your questions about pre-med at Penn State.</p>
<p>Thank you very much. I will certainly check this thread out.</p>
<p>If I order my textbooks from the Penn State bookstore would they hold the books for me (in the bookstore) until I arrive on the 19 for the fall semester?</p>
<p>Yes, the will hold the books for you. When you get there they will have them set asside for you.</p>
<p>Great and thanks Warrior</p>
<p>So what footwear do girls wear? I live where it rains maybe 4 or 5 times a year and I can wear flip flops all year round.</p>
<p>I have already scheduled my courses (SHC), so is there a way to know which books I need to buy for each course? (Phys 211H, Math 140,Engineering design, chem 110), so I can order them (from the bookstore) before I arrive at Penn state.</p>
<p>I posted these questions in psubmb’s adjacent thread, but I thought that it might be interesting to get some perspective from a different point of view as well:</p>
<p>1.How do minors affect life later on? Do they hold any weight in the world at large? Are they worth it? Is it smarter to pick a minor with closer relations to your major, in say mathematics, than philosophy?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Have any interactions with Schreyer’s Honor’s College affected your time in college, beneficially, maliciously? What benefit does such an honor hold in the ‘real world’?</p></li>
<li><p>I’ve read some on your advice on choosing Honors College, and you’ve been extraordinarily helpful. Now for the stupid question: What benefit of Honors Courses actually exists academically? How does it translate into professional life?</p></li>
<li><p>Who were your best professors? Who were the gamechangers of your Penn State ‘career’ of sorts? Did you form any close relationships with them, and if so, how did such relationships carry on beyond college?</p></li>
<li><p>Roommates: What were the major life lessons learned concerning them? Any good stories ? Or simple advice? </p></li>
<li><p>Did you develop a workout/nutrition routine at college? How difficult is it to stay healthy at UP?</p></li>
</ol>
<hr>
<p>And here’s a few more recent ones:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How did you go about creating study-groups? Was it all just sort of bonding pre-post class or in Recitation perhaps? I don’t know if there’s a kind of eBlackboard-esque type of format that people communicate electronically thoughout the class?</p></li>
<li><p>I recently recieved an ad from psucomputerstore with pretty nifty deals that I’d like to look into. However, when viewing their website, I found it a tad less user friendly in locating the described deals. What have your interactions with the psucomp store been like? Have you particpated in any of these deals? Are they in-store only?</p></li>
<li><p>Favorite places to study on campus?</p></li>
<li><p>Most productive Habits?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>

Very very seasonally dependent - flip flops are fine for the summer, but you WILL want winter boots, and most of the fall and spring semester you will want closed-toe shoes and socks.</p>
<p>
The professors inform all of the major bookstores what books and materials they will require, so ANY of the bookstores can tell you. One of the easiest (if most expensive) is the bookstore on campus - you can check books and prices, and even order. Alternately, once you have the list and prices you can shop for the books at other online stores and often get them much cheaper!</p>
