Wow! A lot of decisions released today! Congratulations to everyone accepted!

Dang there is a lot of decisions today. Does anyone mind taking a look at a few of the questions/chance I posted on the last page? Thanks!

@schakraborty560 did you get in? Cause if not I think your chances are pretty low. Could have taken a few more AP classes and I hear they want 6 languages at penn state

Did anyone apply to other big ten schools?
I did Penn State, UMich, Ohio State, and Rutgers

@BreBre235 only one big ten champ though…

@pennst2021 true!

@schakraborty560 I think that might be the most impressive resume I have ever seen.

Accepted to Harrisburg for civil engineering! this is amazing

@BreBre235 I applied to UMD, PSU, OSU, PURDUE, UNICH, UIUC lol
