Summer '12

<p>So I was recently offered admission to a branch campus, but was able to change to UP for summer session since my heart was at the main campus. I'm sooo thankful for this and am really excited to start! Who else is doing summer session and for anyone that has done this in the past what did you think of it? I'm curious to know what it is like starting college in the summer..</p>

<p>Hey, same boat. Just got into Summer 2012 and I’m super pumped. My friend who’s a soph there says Summer Session is supposed to be a blast; you take like two classes to get a head start, get used to campus, and spend your free time living the PSU experience ;]</p>

<p>Okay, so I just got into Altoona, but I checked yes on Summer Session. I called and they said that I have to write an appeal letter and send a new transcript because my argument is that my gpa has gone up since this year started. I really am hoping this works:(</p>

<p>Just show them hove badly you want it.</p>

<p>I’m also in the summer session and I also heard its a lot of fun. Can’t wait to meet new people</p>

<p>Hey dancer can you tell me exactly how you approached them? I really want to try to do the same thing. Jtoombs how did you also approach them on this? Like what did you say?</p>

<p>What was everyone’s stats? I got rejected to UP 3.6, 1820. When I called they didnt say anything about going in undecided for summer</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
GPA: 98% (I think this is equal to a weighted 4.0 if you use the conversion chart)
SATs: 1710 (Math:490, Reading:570, Writing:650)
Taken all honors/college prep classes

Tons of ECs and all that good stuff.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>@asheik I just called and asked if I could get a second eval, they transferred me to a counselor and she told me write a letter about why, and send a new transcript. I called back friday and the first worker who answered basically told me it was a dumb idea and not to do it.</p>
