Schreyers Applications 2008

<p>SHC</a> attracting more minorities - The Daily Collegian Online</p>

<p>Some early data on applications in Schreyers and UP.</p>

<p>interesting article.
thanks for sharing this.</p>

<p>Yes, thanks for sharing. The increase in overall apps is going to make it harder than ever to get in.</p>

<p>I had read earlier that UP admissions were up 6% between Aug 1 and Nov 30 and now they are saying total UP admissions are up 1%. It looks like students got the message that applying early is important and that apps. dropped off signifigantly after the early round. This initial increased volume may be why some applicants are still anxiously waiting for decisions.</p>

<p>Since Dean Brady took over as leader of SHC it seems as if they have moved towards students who are even more active in their worlds. The high test scores might not be playing into acceptance as much. This is absolute opinion based on reading info that comes out of the SHC blog etc. They seem to be focused on looking for "movers and shakers" that will go out and make a difference. Again purely my opinion. </p>

<p>Good luck to all ! It's a top notch program and Penn State ...well... not only is it a great education w/ amble opportunities for the go getter; it's one hell of a ride for a great college experience.</p>
