<p>This is what my status says…How long before it changes ?</p>
<p>I just found out I got accepted an hour ago. I’m so excited because Penn State was my first choice and I thought I had no chance. But I have no idea how I’m going to afford it. Does anyone have an idea how much help I could get if my mom’s gross income is $18,000?</p>
<p>Accepted to University Park’s The Eberly College of Science. Really excited!!! Not completely sure whether I am going yet but at least I am glad that more options have opened. By the way, I am out of state (Kansas). </p>
<p>when is the last date to accept your offer?
I’m an international student…so is it a different date for me?</p>
<p>Accepted at UP for undecided.</p>

<p>So, I recently requested to change my major from Economics to Computer Science… also in hopes of getting into UP instead of Altoona.
Now, my Application Track says that a decision will be coming soon. Does that mean that technically my acceptance to Penn State has been revoked for reevaluation? Like, if I don’t get into Computer Science, will my placement for Economics also be rejected?</p>
<p>To avoid confusion, I have already been accepted to Altoona for Economics.</p>
