General Comments: sweet</p>
<p>is anyone rejected?? I’ve only seen and heard about acceptances.</p>
<p>most of the rejections will not come out till much later. Right now, PSU is admitting all of the strong students and will work their way down the list of applicants from now till early next year.</p>
<p>oh nice. I’m glad to see that we’re all considering strong students :)</p>
<p>I don’t know if that’s completely true, as far as I see my stats are pretty borderline and I got accepted a couple weeks ago.</p>
<p>to anyone who got in:
what does your status say once you get accepted? mine has been “Your application has been received and is being reviewed. Thank you for applying to Penn State.” for a couple weeks now…
plus how big is the letter in the mail? anything included inside? thanks!</p>
<p>“Welcome First Name
Congratulations on your acceptance to Penn State!
I am pleased to offer you admission to The College of Blah Blah Blah for Fall 2010 at Penn State University Park. While a packet of materials will be in the mail to you shortly, I hope that the information provided here will help give you a head start on thinking about your offer to Penn State. …”</p>
<p>Large white envelope with simple mailing label with name and address - contains a folder with miscellaneous Penn State info along with letter of acceptance.</p>
<p>thank you!!</p>

<p>Did you guys find out via the psu website or did you receive a letter? Also, did you say you’d do the summer session?</p>
<p>i said i’ll do it but got admission for fall,i found out through the website~!</p>
<p>I first got my acceptance letter in the mail a day before it was on the website, which was weird because I received notice of my admission to Drexel and Temple online about a week before I got anything in the mail. And I did check off for the summer session.</p>
