<p>Essay- "Table".
I will write about a "Table".How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs. Now, since I am in the USA for many years, don’t know exact number... but anyways, now my parents uses it to talk about bills and how will survive for next day. </p>

<p>So the essay will be a contrast of the use of a table in two different countries and different situations.</p>

<p>chances at penn state berks , anyone here?!?!?</p>

<p>you shoudl get into berks no problem, however psu doesnt really look at essays and although im sure your essay would blow away every admissions person, psu doesnt look at them. Sounds like a great topic and seems like you have gone through alot, and i know you will get into psu berks. your sat scores are good enough for university park</p>

<p>thank youuuuuuuuuuuu yaa
when is the application deadline? regular decision</p>

<p>Its rolling. I would get in ASAP as such.</p>

<p>will apply right after the october ACT score comes out be too late?</p>

<p>

what is that?</p>

<p>It usually means you can apply at any time (I think they also accept you for any term).</p>

<p>^^Rolling admissions just means that they can send out admission decisions to people who completed their applications. It usually means that the earlier you apply the better off you are.</p>

<p>I am choosing to send it in Jan but is it a bad idea?</p>

<p>If you hope to begin in Fall '09 hat is a very bad idea. Students with stellar qualifications have been rejected (or beginning a couple years ago, put on a waitlist) because they were late sending in their applications.</p>

<p>^^January? Might as well don't send it at all. By that time, 3/4 of the people probably got in already.</p>
