@STEM2017 Not all of them I’m sorry to be so strict about this thread but the decision threads are supposed to be for decisions only. That’s a college confidential rule and I’m just following the rules! I don’t make them up but I do agree with their purpose. If I didn’t delete the posts, the moderators above me would have. There have to be some rules or some posters can bring down the whole house of cards. I’ve got my fingers crossed that you hear quickly!
Personally, I would have split this thread into 2 - one titled Decisions Only and a separate one for Class of 2023 General Discussion(which is basically the recently created Waiting for Decisions thread). That way the decisions thread just has decisions. But that’s just my preference and opinion.
I’ve been checking these boards for awhile and just wanted to let everyone know there’s still hope if you or your son/daughter has slightly lower scores. My daughter was accepted and her stats are below. Please feel free to ask any questions! Good luck!

GUYS! You have a discussion thread for a reason. Please post comments about decision timelines in your discussion thread. I’ve asked and asked and asked…PLEASE, for the sake of everyone on this forum…follow the rules. And FYI - We have stated over and over and over again that there IS NOT GOING TO BE A PATTERN TO ACCEPTANCES. Thank you.
Decision threads tend to be helpful for future classes, so let’s try to keep this thread clean. Instead of making a post to simply say “Congratulations,” consider “liking” the post instead.

So I had applied to Harrisburg because I live in Harrisburg and I can commute. I want to adjust to college before moving to UP. Also the fact that Schreyer is no longer restricted to UP, I found no problem going to Harrisburg.
Weirdly enough, I am now considering starting directly at UP but I don’t know if PSU could do anything if I ask them. Anyone know?
