11/20 - accepted</p>

<p>1830 SAT, 1810 in one sitting
3.2 UW, 3.6 W
A lot of EC’s and a prety good essay
choose Altoona as an alternate campus but got into University Park</p>

<p>^ I think you mean 12/4, 12/11, etc. :)</p>

<p>I already put my stats and that I was accepted to UP before, but I was wondering if anybody else was like me and only put UP as a campus choice? Maybe it’s because Penn State isn’t my very 1st choice and I don’t know much about the school but I only put UP on my app :I</p>

<p>I applied to University Park on October 29th, and all of my files were in by the following week. And yet, I still have the status: “We are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.” I’m so nervous that i’m not going to get in now! Do you know when Penn State sends out another wave of admission decisions? The wait is agonizing…</p>
