PSU Class of 2018 Admission Decision Thread

<p>Does anyone know if it’s possible to still do summer session if you’ve been accepted to fall? It’s something I’ve been really interested in doing since I applied back in October. I wasn’t expecting to get into fall really.</p>

<p>@Delete Anyone can do summer session, but since you got into fall, you will get to choose your classes after the kids that got into summer session since they HAVE to be there.</p>

<p>@delete ~ call and let them know. They will change your startup to start to summer. Btw, summers at colleges are the best time. Great memories!</p>

<p>Is it too late to change alternate campus to altoona when you’ve already been accepted to brandywine?</p>

<p>Accepted!!!
GPA: 3.9
ACT: 28</p>

<p>@vibs - It doesn’t hurt to ask. From what I’ve heard they start taking calls at 1pm. You should call soon while apps are still being processed.</p>

<p>@ars60396 - decision came out last night. Will accept NLT this weekend although I’m pushing to get it done today!</p>

<p>My account says that they are still reviewing my credentials! What’s up with that???</p>

<p>My daughter’s has not changed either I am going to take that as a rejection</p>

<p>Why would you take that as a rejection?</p>

<p>everyone we know (IRL) that applied has had a status change but us</p>

<p>What is IRL?</p>

<p>IRL= In Real Life</p>

<p>guys my status changed to altonna and im pretty bumped out. I applied for premedice which i think was a hard major to get into and i applied for summer. I asked them to change to dus today, is there any hope that it could help my chances …</p>

<p>@blobhead did you just get the coming days status with the change of the pic to the Altoona. Because I applied to UP and York as my alternative and a premedicine as my major. My status changed yesterday to coming days but stayed at UP.</p>

<p>yea i did it changed to altonna. im so bumped. really looking forward to going to up.
u think dus can change or what should i do now</p>

<p>I called yesterday. And they said changing my major won’t change anything or that changing it won’t make a difference. I spoke to an admissions counselor</p>

<p>damn but u think their is anything i can do.
like i originally applied for fall then emailed them for summer and i got the changed pic today. so do u think i still have a chance. i called them and they said they would evaluate my application. cuz i know their has to be a difference in major such as engineering and dus.
You think i can do anything to get accepted ?</p>

<p>Update: I called and spoke with an admissions officer this morning. He said that getting into Smeal Business College is more competitive than it has been in 5 years. He agreed that he looked like a perfect Penn State applicant but it was tough this year. There are a few factors that would get someone in with lower scores and extracurricular activities. I kind of all ready knew that. Anyway, he said he would never tell anyone to apply for Business. You can go in undecided and pick a business major later. All is well. He changed it and accepted him into UP and we should get the paperwork in a week or so. If anyone else is in the same situation, give it a try.</p>

<p>Wow @momofboyz that’s fantastic news. Congrats. You all must be so relieved. He was definitely a great candidate.</p>
