Personal statement: yes
Summer start: yes</p>
<p>I also have taken 8 honors classes if that helps. I’m just mainly concerned with my SATs.</p>
<p>Your GPA looks great, your SAT may be a little low, but it helps that you applied for summer. That seemed to make a difference for some kids last year if their GPA or SAT was a little low. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks! Hopefully it will help my chances. I’m really hoping that my gpa can get me in.</p>
<p>Is it a good thing I haven’t heard back yet? I applied around mid September.</p>
<p>I applied 1st day of September and have not heard back either. If your stats are borderline like mine they might be considering you for summer although fall offers do still come out in January as well.</p>
<p>@witD10 yeah hopefully we can get fall or summer. You would think if our stats weren’t good enough we would have got something from a branch campus by now.</p>
<p>Yeah that is what I was thinking. I know people from my school who applied later and were sent to a branch campus by the end of November. I think the fact that we have not heard yet may be a very good sign knowing that most summer offers come out in January if we are not offered fall. I think applying early made the difference.</p>
<p>You’ll get in</p>
<p>Yeah I would say. My friends that have applied to branch campuses heard within two weeks, so at least we are still being considered for main.</p>
<p>Good news, I just got an email back from the admissions counselor that I had met with back in April. She said that not to worry that I have not heard back yet. They do not review applications in chronological order and I am still in consideration for a spot at University Park. I fall in the middle of their applicant pool and they are working their way in from top and bottom. Since the office closes this Friday for the holiday she said not to expect a decision until January. And on the Facebook group, they said most decisions will be released in the beginning of the month. Considering your test score is around my ACT score, we both are still being considered for main it appears, which is great news.</p>
<p>@witD10 yes! That’s is definitely good to hear. Hopefully we can both get in! We just have to wait it out.</p>
<p>@Pgh784. Finally received summer admission to University Park today for the College of Earth & Mineral Sciences. That wait was brutal but well worth it! Have no problem starting in the summer when everyone keeps telling me it is a lot of fun. And it is the best time to be up there. The summer nights are amazing.</p>
<p>@witD10 Congrats! I just got the “coming days” status so I should hear really soon.</p>
<p>Awesome! It was two days for me so it should not be much longer. Good luck!</p>
<p>@witD10 Got accepted! Summer session at Smeal, im fine with starting in summer, just have to figure out how to pay it now.</p>
<p>Congratulations! I am in the same boat as well with having my parents take out loans in order to fund everything. But I just accepted the offer this past Sunday!</p>
<p>PGH did you get accepted to Univ of Pitt ?</p>
<p>Nice! I will probably get a job in the summer up there to help with the costs if I go there. I’m just weighing my options as of now.
@XtremePower didn’t apply because I was going to wait to hear from psu because it is my 1st choice.</p>
