<p>well, i was jusy hypothecally speaking. i did get into altoona, didnt apply to any branches..problem is, my HS is 2500 studnets and i know you go to college for academics, but the party scene and girls, and "we are penn state" is huge for me. ..i dont wanna go to altoona for 2 years, i can handle one, (my dad and sis both graduated psu up in 3 years), idont think 2 years at UP will give me an experience... might as well go to a SUNY school then, but i gotta see if i like altoona, bust my fu(king a$$ off, and transfer out quickly.</p>
<p>hmm.. I got in on 12/1. I need to find out more about it though before I make a decision. and for yous who want to know:</p>
<p>3.5 gpa
1180 sat
interesting ec's.
Biomedical Engineering.
out of state. what else? iono..</p>
<p>-yeah, got into altoona today, so im gonna try to transfer after a semester, prob wont let me though :/-</p>
<p>What is your major? Depends on what it is, you might be able to if you make Dean's List and have an administrator at the campus on your side. I don't know about a semester, but maybe after 1 year? They do allow early transfers, but you have to have the grades and a good reason (for example, the classes you need for your major are at UPark, etc.) It's possible so don't worry yet. Other option is to transfer there after a year at another college. But there's a lot to do at UPark in 2 years. I think I'd pick Altoona and UPark over a SUNY school. But just my opinion.</p>
<p>"yeah but im an idiot and prob have no shot at waitlist :P prob wasted my time applying,</p>
<p>had tremendous improvement in gpa tho, 2.7 -3.4, 1070 sats
summer session, dad and sis went there, applied for communications school"</p>
<p>I don't know how the summer session works, but I bet if you work hard and get Dean's List, etc., you could transfer after a year. Well try anyway. Don't know if you're journalism major or something like that, but get involved with Altoona branch paper and anything else you can, look at classes offered only at UPark. Make your case for the early transfer. You never know. And you can go with friends to UPark lots of times and still get into the "We are Penn State" thing. Don't let 1 year of your life ruin a dream.</p>
<p>GGT, my counselor told me they were ready to make my decision. he told me i should hear back soon, probably next week.</p>
<p>PSU I wonder if the next wave of mail is out now becuz the site said Theyve reached my decision as of 12/06.</p>
<p>Hopefully we both get in :)</p>
<p>i hope so. what were your numbers and major?</p>

applied jus for fall Session originally but then I emailed them requesting to change to SS (want to start early) :)
I want to go for Computer Science</p>
<p>Oooh PSU2010 - I wish I could get into my web site - this is killing me! I'll be watching the mail - keep me posted! Sleeping with fingers and toes crossed for us! GGT</p>
<p>Don't worry GGT...I'm getting good vibes. My website hasn't been updated either, but my counselor called someone he knew up there and he said a decision was coming really soon. By seeing some of the kids I know that got in, us getting rejected would be a travesty.</p>
<p>Woohoo - hope you're right - this is a BIG one - hopefully we'll hear early next week! I'm just nervous that somehow the way they mixed up my file has delayed my review and I'll have to wait longer - arrrggggggghhhhhhhh - waiting is the pitts - but beats rejection - so I'll just think positive thoughts.</p>
<p>I got accepted like a month ago.</p>

<p>just think of it like this.. i mean they already made their decisions.. they either accepted you or didn't so i mean there shouldn't be worries.</p>
<p>This can't be good......Called today again about the website problem and admissions said they would look into it - but no decision has been made on my application.</p>
<p>it'll all work out.</p>
<p>hopefully they'll let me transfer after a year, thatd be well enough, but 2 years, Idk then, then id prob just try to transfer to UCONN or albany</p>
