SATs: 1940 (one sitting)

<p>Had all my stuff in and accounted for by mid-October, so happy I got in! Good luck to everyone waiting, the wait is terrible, but well worth it if you are accepted! Don’t lose hope! Hearing back this late does not mean rejection :)</p>

<p>Been reading all these long awaited acceptances! Congrats to those who waited FOREVERR!! Its a great feeling being accepted!</p>

<p>okay, so i had applied as a music major and had to audition, but then got hurt and couldnt play. so i changed my application to communications, and today it switched to a pic of the lion shrine and I am freaking out. It also said in the next coming days… so im guessing it sent the letter. I changed in on Dec. 19th. my gpa is 3.76 unweighted and 1620 sats. what do you think.</p>

<p>in the past, people reported that if the picture changed to the Nittany Lion they were admitted to a branch campus. good luck and let us know what happens.</p>

<p>@loveallrevkirk, if you are accepted to a branch, you can always call once you receive your decision, explain what happened, and ask if there’s any possible way you could do something, such as change your major so that you can begin at UP, or start in the summer if you’d like. best of luck and hoping for the best! As for your stats, your GPA looks very good to me and your SATs aren’t bad, people have been accepted with lower. Good luck again!</p>
