International.
Accepted today at UP, Eberly school.
Applied on Nov 30.
Sat 1460, GPA 4.0.
@birdypurdy you can call if you’re really worried, however i am concerned as the priority filing date was awhile before you applied.
@PruPru25 I am also concerned about my aid report so for sure keep my updated on whether or not it goes away. I will leave it for a week or so as the portal suggests.
Denied!?
I was denied from school of Engineering BME main campus? Very confused.
Stats-
4.6 W GPA
9/600 class rank
34 ACT, 1480 SAT
Very focused ECs (hospital internship, Physician shadowing, leadership positions of a couple clubs, and more)
I applied late, like the end of December or the first few days of January. That’s probably why I got rejected. I did apply before the second deadline, however.
I applied early December. Almost 3 months now still under review. When can I expect a decision?
@anthonyZ: BME may be full. You could call, list GPA*sat, and ask to be reconsidered for general engineering. It doesn’t change anything anyway, all students take the same classes and choose their majors depending on grades achieved.
@BisonCT I don’t remember the specific date but it was late December for the second pool.
@AnthonyZ I’m very confused by this also, my stats were not a good as yours but then again I went for CS, I would ask to be reevaluated for a pre-major.
@AnthonyZ very likely that the specific major for which you applied was full. Call on Monday and ask to be reconsidered into either general engineering or DUS. Engineering fills early and you applied after the priority deadline. Ask to speak to an admissions counselor, not the just the people who answer the phone in admissions. They aren’t actual admission counselors.

@nyulover29 Hi. I’m also an international applicant. I applied on Nov 30. My SRAR status just changed to completed yesterday but the application status still has not changed. I think they might start rolling out admissions for international applicants soon. All the best.
@anthonyz: what did they say?

Just got my financial aid package and I can say that I’m not going. They literally only gave me 5.5k worth of loans, which is not even helpful compare to the total cost of 50k. Guess they only want rich kids in the school.
That’s why there are fewer out-of-state students. Public (or “state-related”) universities have differences in cost based on residency.
I’m sorry if the FA packages are a surprise to anyone but we’ve been trying to emphasize that throughout this thread/forum. For example, MYOS said a few pages back: “OOS students don’t get financial aid so if you can’t afford it, you’re out of luck.”
@FutureCollege321 Same here. “And for that reason, I’m Out”…
If my EFC is 0 and need a lot of financial aid, will Penn State help out? Is it possible to get my tuition reduced to 20k?
