<p>hey i think you should be fine getting in, especially since you applied for the summer session and are an in-state resident. i'm sure if you improved your SATs that would add to your app. too.</p>

<p>good luck!!</p>

<p>Collegekid, Have you looked at this--

These are the numbers from 2006 and will have undoubtedly gone up with the number of applicants PSU receives. Also, the numbers will be higher for the more competitive colleges.</p>

12

<p>yeah well from the looks of that, it seems like i have a good shot...or at least i sure hope!</p>

13

<p>With s 3.7 you'll need to get about a 1350/1600 on the SAT (for UP). Good luck!</p>

14

<p>Penn State university not Penn, Im in state also, i dont see how I need a 1350/1600. PSU MAN12 or whatever said that he knows kids now who got admitted into the summer session with lower grades than me. i dont know if you realize that the SAT's arent as important anymore</p>

15

<p>UP means University Park, not Penn</p>

16

<p>By UP I meant University Park as opposed to a branch campus. The current admissions info lists an SAT midrange of 1740-1980 for University Park, 1470-1710 for the other campuses.

On the same page you can "Ask the Lion" if in-state and oos applications are treated differently. The answer is--" Admission requirements for out-of-state students are the same as those for in-state students."</p>

17

<p>uhhhh ok....</p>

18

<p>i never said they are treated differently i said that there are more instate students because it is easier to get in through instate</p>

19

<p>it's not necessarily easier to get in through instate which is what you just said. theres just more instate because a lot more apply from PA than from anywhere else</p>

That statement is pretty contradicting. If in-state students get in easier, that means they are being treated differently...</p>
