<p>Hi everybody!</p>
<p>Today i've decided to start a new thread based only on admissions decisions for those applying to PSU (and primarily University Park, Summer or Fall) to discuss nearly anything as the Admissions Office continues to hand out decisions.</p>
<p>I myself am currently still anxiously awaiting a decision. I would initially like to tell you about my own stats. I applied on Nov. 28th, with the following credentials:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.6 unweighted (school does not supply a weighted average)</p>
<p>SAT's: 1270 (2-part), 1990 (3-part) </p>
<p>Class Rank: Top 25% at start of senior year, likely to improve by 5% by the end</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Limited, with a minimal amount of hours</p>
<p>Awards/Services: Similar to EC's, but with a couple of noteworthy awards</p>
<p>Personal Statement: Pretty solid i'd say, hoping they take a look</p>
<p>-Applying to the Department of Meteorology
-Applying for Fall 2012, but agreed to a summer session if necessary
-This is my first choice of campus by far</p>
<p>Overall, i'm about to the point of pulling my hair out from waiting. I am aware, that it has been barely more than a month, yet like any other student, that's hardly enough to supress my worrying.
Over the last month, I've been constantly checking not only my status, but several forum threads on this site, as well as "chancing" myself on various sites (ex, Parchment). I would like to note that i've found the Class of 2016 threads useful, and the "Ask me Anything" thread made by Duke very informative as well.
And although they are essentially the same thing that I am creating here, I felt that a thread of my own for further discussion would be enjoyable nonetheless.</p>
<p>Over this past month, i've picked up several tidbits of information (accurate or otherwise) that are worth noting:</p>
<p>It appears that PSU may hand out decisions to those guaranteed to get in or not early, and then the bulk of "on-the-fence" decisions throughout January.
Additionally, as with any college, decisions may be handed out in a time manner according to field. </p>
<p>Yet, after this unusually long holiday break, I am eager to be able to check my status starting again tomorrow morning, as the Admissions Office resumes decision making. </p>
<p>So basically, I would enjoy discussing many things with anybody who has applied for 2012. Whether it's general discussion about campuses or majors or activities, or somebody who has been accepted or is applying (and definitely put your stats down). And for those of you like me, still awaiting a decision, let's just HOPE that we get in!</p>
And i got to know that i ve been accepted! woohooo! Well, one thing i do not get! I did choose my intended major in the field of engineering i.e Aerospace. But then in the admission letter, it said i have been offered admission for Engineering(undecided). Well, i did choose my intended major! i Do not know why they said Engineering (undecided). Anybody got a clue!</p>
