Ok so if my parents are ok with it and I get a 30 with a 3.5 weighted I have a good shot? @MYOS1634
If the goal is to get into Penn State as a whole, then I wouldn’t be so worried. Pick a branch campus as your second choice and you are likely to get in there, at least, if UP doesn’t work out. You may have to do the 2+2 program, but so do over half of Penn State students.
I would not limit yourself to UP-or-bust. Look at the results thread for this year – DUS has been more selective than in years past.
ok, I understand thank you. I do feel good though that I can get into UP I was just asking for what you thought. @bodangles @MYOS1634
@jlhpsu Hi I am planning on putting down applied data sciences as my major would my chances increase if I applied DUS or is the college of IST less competitive to gain admission. BTW 3.7 GPA 1450 SAT 780 math 670 reading
Does anyone know about the new deadlines that Penn State just put in effect about 1 week ago? When would decisions come out at that point? @jlhpsu @bodangles @MYOS1634
On Dec 24. 3 possibilities: admit; deferred; deny. Better not try for EA if Penn State is your first choice and you’re below borderline as this would make for a miserable Christmas.
@MYOS1634 even if I apply in August ill get it on Dec 24th
@nittanylion1510 If you apply in August you will hear BY December 24. But most likely in December sometime. For those that apply by November 30, they hear BY January 31 with the majority hearing in January.
