<p>Thanks guys… I am auditioning into the music department next saturday, and i did apply for summer and early action. So if I do not get into university park for communications, then I will see if i get in for music. If i do for music, i automatically go to UP. I’m so scared, I just want to get in for communications so it can all be over. Penn State is MY DREAM SCHOOL!! Its horrible so i know all of your pain! Also, how long does it take to receive letter from when the mypennstate switches to “in the coming days?” My guidance counselor said it should come the day after. Any experience?</p>

<p>usually between 1-3 days :slight_smile:
good luck!</p>

<p>how long was yours?</p>

<p>Took me about 3 days…technically 2 and a half</p>

<p>Do weekends count as days too?</p>

<p>Rejected from UP, Accepted into Harrisburg</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7
SAT: 1900 (M:600 W:650 R:650)
Good ecs, good essay, applied before deadline to College of IST.</p>

<p>Pretty stunned. I called this morning and asked if I could do summer, and they said they would take a second look.</p>

<p>@thenastiest- I’m so sorry! With those stats you really should’ve gotten in :frowning: Hoping they let you into UP for the summer session!</p>

<p>@sop520- Thanks. I would think I would be admitted for summer, but who knows? I was shocked, especially since this is my #1 school.</p>

<p>That is pretty shocking! Your stats are good! What was your intended major?</p>

<p>Security and Risk Analysis at College of IST. I was debating about switching to DUS after the rejection. I took/am taking several AP and honors classes and I got a 5 on AP History, so I can do the work.</p>

<p>I really believe you’ll get into the summer session, do you know when they’ll get back to you?</p>
