Son was waitlisted. And frankly, surprised that he at least wasnât offered 2+2 given other students from our school with lower grades & test scores that were offered 2+2 back in December. Thankful to have other even better options and that he had already decided he was no longer interested in PSU.

Reflection: Honestly pretty shocked I didnât get in. The only thing I can say I didnât do was show much interest (but i donât think they care about that). I probably wonât be taking a spot on the waitlist but itâs okay because I got into other school Iâd choose over penn state. Oh well. Good luck to all!
