<p>i just want to hear!!</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>I am too waiting for Smeal (Accounting). I just want to hear as well! I am so anxious because this is my number 1 choice and I’m not sure if I will get in or not.</p>
<p>Yeah same thing here…applied Smeal (EBF)</p>
<p>it really seems like they havent been accepting a good amount of people. im glad im not the only one but ive been waiting for over 2 months!</p>
<p>Are you less likely to get admitted to Upark If you put down a competitive major such as Business???</p>
<p>I applied September 10th, and I got accepted November 15th, so they take a bit.</p>
<p>I was a 4.07, 30 act</p>
<p>I want to major in business, but when I called Penn State, they told me to list business as the Area of Interest on the application, and then “Business (undecided)” as the Major. I don’t believe I applied directly to Smeal, but it appears a number of you did. Was I incorrect in doing it the way I did? Thanks very much.</p>
<p>tyler 15 thats the only and correct way to do it</p>
<p>Eromano333, thanks very much. When I saw those who said they applied to Smeal, it got me a bit nervous. Thanks for the clarification and have a nice holiday.</p>
<p>Bww-it all depends on your numbers</p>
<p>it looks like i am very lucky…
I am an international student, applied in Nov and got accepted in Dec. I want to major in finance by the way. Does anyone know whether it is possible for an international student to find a job in usa?</p>
<p>Yeah. PSU offers jobs on campus to students. That’s what I would do if I were you, but it should be fairly simple to get a minimum wage job in the surrounding area.</p>
<p>It is a little more complicated for international students to work; the University Office of Global Programs should be able to provide guidance. Here is some information from their website–</p>
<p>Limit on-campus employment to a total of 20 hours per week while school is in session. Since regulations prohibit students from working more than 20 hours per week, 3/4-time assistantships are not allowed. In addition, the benefit of working on campus requires F-1 and J-1 students to be in status (i.e. full-time registration, valid I-20 or DS-2019 and passport). At Penn State, the I-9 form (Employment Eligibility) is processed by International Student Advising (ISA), 410 Boucke Building, for all international students.</p>

<p>Getting off-campus employment would probably be more difficult.</p>
<p>After 1moremom’s post I looked on the PSU website again and found this posted when I “asked the lion”:</p>
<p>International students can only work on campus. International students can work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and up to 40 hours a week during the summer. Contact International Student Services if you have questions.</p>
<p>I would e-mail International Student Services if you want a good answer. The following was also on the PSU website:</p>
<p>Prospective Students
Most international students come to Penn State on F-1 or J-1 student visas. To apply for these, they need eligibility documents (I-20s for F-1 visas or DS-2019s for J-1 visas) from Penn State. Our Pre-Arrival Coordinators, within The Directorate of International Student Advising (DISA), issue the “initial entry” I-20 or DS-2019 documents for most students. In addition, they also provide information and services to international students who will study at Penn State in other visa / immigration categories. We provide information related to many of the pre-arrival steps required prior to arriving on campus, and respond to questions for all new or prospective international students.</p>
<p>If you are considering Penn State for your academic career, explore the options in the left hand column to locate information regarding admissions, financial guarantee requirements, obtaining an I-20/DS-2019 and much more.</p>
