My son received an email from PSU “strongly encouraging” him to apply to Schreyers. He has not received a decision re: standard admission yet. Does everyone get this email? I didn’t think his GPA was strong enough for the honors program. Is it just PSU way of getting another $35?
My daughter as well got the email. Also was curious as no admission decision as of yet.
I got the email as well. It said somewhere in the email something along the lines of “We noticed you started a Shreyers app…” But all I did really was open the link to look at it.
@HLGC My D received the exact email the other day. They did say tbey are not looking at SAT scores if that helps.
Thanks - that is helpful. His SATs were great. GPA just good. I really don’t think he would qualify.
They put a lot of emphasis on the essays. They want students who are interested and engaged – not just in schoolwork, since admissions does look at grades/rigor, but also in extracurricular interests and personal passions.
Essays and LORs, as well as interesting EC’s, matter A LOT. Also, what major your son applied to (they want a balance accross majors).
