<p>Attended an information session at PSU, University Park this past summer and they did indeed say that summer admissions would be easier than fall. They also recommended starting off at another of Penn State branches and then moving to UP for the last 2 years (a 2+2 program). This apparently is very popular.</p>
<p>On another note, a friends’ D got admission to WashU and was also accepted there for the summer program, completely free of cost. They paid for her flights, her boarding, meals etc for the summer term. She loved it - she felt like it gave her a leg up on the fall term - she already knew where everything was, how everything worked etc when she was back there in late August.</p>
