<p>Kathiep – was the strategy mentioned in post #6 brought up by a PSU admissions person at a talk, or at a “general” guidance counselor or college counselor presentation? </p>
<p>I think there could be lots of advantages starting in the summer that have nothing to do with whether or not it’s “easier” to be admitted. Although… the main purpose of my post was to find out if it did provide an advantage.</p>
<p>Also, I’m still not completely clear on whether this is something that applicants choose when they apply…or if it’s something they’re offered after they’re admitted (or…possibly both?)</p>
<p>Particularly interested in PSU - Univ. Park for out-of-state…but definitely interested in hearing about other schools.</p>
