PSU Class of 2021 Decision Thread

Tuesday’s my birthday. I guess I should consider that good luck for him and be excited but at this point I’m just exhausted.

@my2kidsnj Wow lucky to get such a quick reply since some of us are waiting until 1/31 :frowning:
Congrats!!

@jlhpsu …omg! My daughter got into UP communications summer program… she doesn’t know yet. I’m going to wait for her to check herself or receive envelope in the mail. She did it. Thank you for your reassurance and guidance. She did it!!!

Denied for DUS fall semester, I suppose. Didnt state if it was summer or fall, even though I put summer as an option. Sadly disappointing.

@bitingmynails Congrats and love your handle!

We still haven’t heard and now I may be inspired to change mine to bangingmyhead… :stuck_out_tongue:

Finally my S received chemical engineering summer. It is a long time waiting. SAT 1420 with wGPA 4.22.

.

Ahhhh. My heart has been mended. Daughter accepted Summer Session Eberly College of Science. No better time to get Math 140 out of the way.

Good luck to all those still waiting.

For The Glory!!!

Daughter Accepted!!! Smeal Fall UP
Just updated in last hour, no clue why I am still awake but it’s killing me not to wake her. Can’t wait to have her check online tomorrow am. Thank you all for your wisdom and Good Luck to those still waiting!!!

So Excited!! Originally applied SMEAL Finance not realizing I could go in DUS. Denied SMEAL but reevaluated for DUS and got in for Fall DUS! Congrats to all accepted! I wish I had understood how DUS works as I would have just gone that route originally! Good luck to those of you still waiting!

Accepted summer semester DUS at UP! Really surprised my wGPA was 3.54 and 1210 SAT.

Accepted summer engineering
Gpa 3.85 w
Sat 1340 (700 math) (640 reading)
Either going here or Purdue but I have no clue

@avery76 My son got accepted on 1/21 and got his pack on 1/25. just a few days

@2021NH Congratulations…I’ve been following along to see your outcome! So happy for you and your daughter!

I still have not heard from Penn State. If I am accepted for Summer Session, is it possible to take 6 credits at a local Community College or State University (I am from MA, and the room and board plus the money I would be losing by not working would be difficult for me and my family.)

ACCEPTED- Penn State University Park: Division of Undergraduate Studies

Stats:
SAT: 1190: 650R/W 540M
SAT IIs:
GPA: 3.4W
Rank: 119/298

Other stats:

Subjective:
Essays: Very strong!!
Teacher Recs: N/A
Counselor Rec: N/A
Hook (if any): In state? No idea

Location/Person:
State or Country: PA
School Type: Public
Ethnicity: Mixed Afro-Latina/White
Gender: Female

Accepted college of liberal arts! 28 ACT (superscore), 3.8 Weighted! Used my common app essay and attached my resume!

Accepted UP: Division of Undergraduate Studies for Summer Session.

ACT: 31
GPA (school doesn’t calculate, so take with a grain of salt): 3.7W
Private college prep school outside of Philly.
Lots of EC’s and a pretty strong essay.

My school doesn’t offer AP courses, but I took as many “advanced” courses as I could, so I have a pretty rigorous academic history overall.

Initially I applied for Engineering Fall, but my college counselors received a call earlier this week asking if I’d like to be considered for Summer DUS. Pretty surprised I didn’t get in the route I hoped, but at least I’m in!

@jackoneill unfortunately, if you are accepted for summer session, you have to attend summer session in order to be admitted for the fall at PSU. You can not take the credits at a local community college or a local university.

Congratulations to all the new acceptances!!

3.6 w gpa with a 1260 sat. I applied for DUS directly into summer. I haven’t heard back yet but people with lesser stats have gotten in?
