<p>I applied to the Smeal School of Business by the early date, have 1980 CR/M/W (1310 CR/M) SATs, 4.27 GPA, outstanding recs and ECs...well into the blue on the bubble chart. I am wondering if anyone has heard from Smeal to date. Also, I have heard rumors Smeal is especially behind in reviewing applications. Can anyone give me any tell me any definitive facts about Smeal admissions? Thanks, and if this is somewhere else in another thread, I apologize.</p>

<p>according to this, most of us should be fine. also, the numbers on the bubble chart are false in opinion. only time will tell.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply laxer04...ahh yess the almighty business week...i take it u have applied as well. what are ur stats?</p>
<p>yeah, i have a 3.6 gpa (hard public hs in NJ, top 3 in the state), SAT 1320/1600, NHS, good ECs, and a great essay. hopefully we will hear soon. everything was in the last week of september/1st week of october and i checked summer. its my 2nd choice behind maryland. hopefully we will hear the good news soon!</p>
<p>honestly, i dont think either of us will have problems. i checked summer session as well. is psu ur first choice?</p>
<p>My son's profile is almost identical to both of yours, including the application to Maryland. He's not thrilled with the idea of starting in summer if he has to do that. He applied in early Sept. to Smeal, and still hasn't heard. Good luck and hopefully, they'll be great news for everyone.</p>
<p>just a curiosity...if you sign up for summer, do you have to participate? do you also think we will find out by the 31 of Jan? I know Penn state says it will if you applied by Nov 30, but considering Smeal hasn't told a sole, i dont know</p>
