PSU Class of 2016 Admission Decision Thread

<p>PUPs - good for you! We have the status change but no word yet, so we keep waiting. Was she admitted for summer? Seems that most these days are summer admits. Keept rying tore ad the tea leaves . . .</p>

<p>congrats to all who have been accepted!</p>

<p>My D’s status changed to “coming days” last week and earlier this week her status changed to “accepted”; WGPA 3.7, SAT 1890, accepted for DUS (undecided) Fall '12, in state PA, private school. </p>

<p>Like PUPSMOM- we are also waiting/ hoping for U Del because it’s smaller, and closer to home.</p>

<p>My son was just accepted into University Park Summer program. What is the story with the summer program? Any input would be appreciated!</p>

<p>My son was just accepted into the summer program too! I just stared a thread for it, hopefully we will get some feedback!</p>

<p>Accepted!!! Division of Undergrad Studies (not sure if I want to do business or something else, but most likely business) </p>

General Comments: To everyone, just stick it out and make sure you show a interest! I called about once every few days and I emailed penn state constantly. Good luck to anyone that applied! Now time to celebrate!</p>

<p>I was sent to a satellite campus. Does anyone know if you can be admitted later to UP if kids don’t enroll or go elsewhere? Or is the admission to a satellite campus a final decision. I’m OOS so I wasn’t expecting any miracles. PSU is really hard out of state. Congrats to all who were accepted!</p>

<p>Try calling the undergrad office and see if you can switch into the division of undergraduate studies. My friend initially got rejected, but he called up and they reviewed his application again and he got accepted. You will take the same classes as everyone else in your major and you have some time to think about what you actually want to major in. Good luck! And did you check the box for the summer session? If not, ask if you can be considered for it.</p>

<p>Finally a decision for my D! Accepted Summer 2012.</p>

<p>Congrats! that is great news!</p>

<p>congrats momofa for you and your daughter, i think we’ve all been waiting to hear for your daughter, since its been so long :)</p>

<p>Sheesh no kidding! We were thinking the decision was never coming. </p>

<p>There are a few left who have not posted. Anyone still waiting?</p>

<p>Finally heard. 3.2 W GPA; 29 ACT. Accepted directly into The College of Engineering for fall 2012.</p>

<p>Accepted to College of Liberal Arts. </p>

<p>Stats: SAT: 1860
SAT IIs: 800 US History, 800 World History
GPA: 3.6 I think, but my school’s grading system is weird
Other stats: AP US History (5)</p>

<p>Person: Location: Europe
School Type: international
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Male</p>

<p>I’m American but I’m a ‘third culture kid’, lived a majority of my life in Europe and the Middle East, speak French, Macedonian and a little Arabic. If PSU is looking for more diversity I might have been swept in under that. </p>

<p>My parents attended Penn State and I’ve grown up cheering for Penn State athletics, so it is very likely that I will attend, but I’ll wait for my other options to appear and make the decision then.</p>

<p>ACCEPTED TO COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING</p>

<p>GUYS I AM AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AND I DONT KNOW MUCH.I WOULD REALLY LIIKE YOUR OPINION ON HOW PSU IS? IS IT GOOD? M CONCERNED WITH ACADEMICS DONT CARE MUCH ABOUT THE PARTY SCENE OR WHERE IT IS OR BARS AROUND OR ANYTHN LIKE THAT.I INTEND TO MAJOR IN CHEMICAL ENG</p>

<p>I’m still waiting for the coming days status…seems like I’ll never get it.</p>

<p>same here, nina. when did you apply? i didn’t even know there was a priority date when i applied haha (Jan 7th). my stats are pretty good, however i think i’ll probably be waitlisted just because of my submission date. 4.38 GPA, 1780 SAT - awful i know, 26 ACT meh, 640 history subject test and 590 on math 1, rank - 24 of 350 (6 percent), 12 honors/APs (6 AP), really good essay, major: international relations/politics</p>

<p>I applied in November before the priority deadline, but they only got my transcripts and test scores around December, which is why I’m having to wait I guess. But I’m supposed to hear in February…<em>supposed to</em>, i’m just so nervous.</p>

<p>I just got the coming days status!!! “Thank you for applying to Penn State. Your application has been received and is being reviewed. An admission decision will be posted here in the coming days.”</p>

<p>Ahh I hate that I got it on Friday!! Guess I’ll know by Tuesday or something…I’m so nervous!!</p>

<p>Congrats :slight_smile: You might get a letter in the mail today or tomorrow, you never know!!! :)</p>
