<p>My grades were terrible through my first three years, and now that I put my mind to my studies, I'm getting excellent grades, although it may be a bit late. I did well on my ACT, and hope that it will somewhat counterbalance my terrible GPA. I plan to major in either aerospace or mechanical engineering. What are my chances?!</p>

<p>Chances are slim due to low gpa, take a look at the bubble chart thread. It has a link to a bubble chart that will show your chances. Did you apply for summer session?</p>

3

<p>No, due to financial reasons.</p>

<p>My status today changed to:</p>

<p>Thank you for applying to Penn State. Your application has been received and is being reviewed. An admission decision will be posted here in the coming days.</p>

<p>Is that a good sign?</p>

<p>that just means they have all your stuff. mine’s been on that one for a month now. when it changes to “Thank you for applying to Penn State. Your application has been received and is being reviewed. An admission decision will be posted here in the coming days.”, then you get your decision within a few days.</p>

<p>Read my post again, thats exactly what my status changed to.</p>

9

<p>oops thought it was the credentials one. yeah you should hear back within a few days then, good luck.</p>

10

<p>Is it a good or bad sign considering that I applied around Nov 1st? I’m so nervous!</p>

<p>They have by far the worst and oddest system. They say theyre rolling, but they also say they don’t start reviewing apps until 11/30. Usually the people who find out this early are shoe ins with 4.0+ and 2100+. I applied mid September and still have the credentials status.</p>

<p>My D is deep in the blue bubbles (not borderline) and her app was complete the third week in September…still waiting.</p>
