I was so happy when I got my packet in the mail!</p>

Stats: 3.93 GPA (weighted), 1220/1880 SAT(single-sitting), 28 ACT
White male from competitive public HS in PA.
Reaction: Penn State was my first choice for a while, but with the ongoing scandal I’m starting to consider Pitt (also accepted there) as a potential first choice as well, along with Richmond (haven’t applied there yet, reach school). Luckily, I have a long while to see how the scandal pans out and to think about where I want to go next fall.</p>

<p>WOOO!!! I’m so excited! I’m waiting until the end of January to hear from another top school and then I’ll see if I’ll really be going to PSU! We are!</p>
<p>Anyone from the NYC area received acceptance yet? :</p>
<p>Can someone please tell me my chances of getting into UP? My weighted GPA is 5.17/7, I got a 1640 SAT, I’m from New jersey, applied for Summer Session, and have a great essay and extracurriculars. My status hasn’t changed to the “coming days” status yet and I figured I would’ve gotten rejected by now if my scores were too low. Is there any hope for me?</p>
<p>Yes, people from Long Island have heard.</p>
<p>I’m from Long Island and heard weeks ago.</p>
<p>Just got a letter from the President of the School. Any other acceptances get this?</p>
<p>Whatd the letter say?</p>
<p>Basically how Penn State is still a great school and it looks to regain confidence. If you’ve watched any of his video announcements, it’s basically like those.</p>
<p>I also got a letter from the president- they probably send one to all students that have been admitted so far.</p>
<p>That’s what I’m assuming as well.</p>
