<p>My dd applied to PSU last year. It is one application which contained a place to check off which campuses you were applying for: University Park, and/or some of the satellite campuses. There was also a question would you accept summer admission to the LEAP program at the main campus.
My dd only wanted UP and only checked that, and based on what we heard from other prior year’s applicants, as well as the whole purpose of LEAP, she did check that she would attend summer. That is supposed to maximize your chances of admission, as does applying for the DUS (division of undergraduate studies as an undecided major) rather than applying to say, the business school.
However, she was admitted to UP for the fall.
Everyone she knows that attended LEAP loved it, and thought it was a great experience. It would have cost another 6K I think though? Plus she would have had to forego her summer job earnings…which is her spending money for the year. So actually I was relieved she didn’t have to go in the summer.</p>
