<p>I finally completed my application to Penn State - University Park. woohoo!</p>
<p>Today, it said on the website that it is currently being processed and reviewed. </p>
<p>Would anyone have a ballpark or from past experience know how long rolling admissions takes for an answer back? </p>
<p>For University of Pittsburgh, I got my acceptance in only 13 days. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I heard rumors that people who have submitted applications to penn state already should hear sometime in December. The rumors could be completey false, though.</p>
<p>it takes about 3wks.</p>
<p>it's not that competitive. If ur SATs r over a 1050 Ecs average and have a good transcript ur in. They don't read teach. recom. i heard it's done on computer</p>
<p>they auto admit like 25% of the people they are going to admit.. based on computer computations. a friends parent worked in admissions there for a long time, says thats how its done. they evaluate the middle 50%, and autoreject everyone else..</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard that they use a computer scan for print applications and just highlight the stats-- That's the way it has to be done for a school that receives a plethora of apps.</p>
<p>But a 1050 SAT? Isn't that a bit low? Where'd you hear that from?</p>
<p>my stats aren't anywhere near the people on the board here, but my counselor says that Penn State is a match/borderline safety for me. My GPA and SAT are above average, I believe. Maybe coming from out of state will help, too.</p>
<p>Not sure what Penn State does. Some with rolling admissions always give a response within a couple weeks to a month. Many others may do so for many applicants but then sit on borderline applicants until the application end date passes and the total pool of applicants is known. And out-of-state usually does not help for state schools because they usually, and often are required to, favor state residents, meaning the out-of-state applicant needs better stats than the in-state.</p>
<p>not necessarily, essentially a college is a business so they may favor the out-of-state student rather than the in-state-student simply because of the out-of-state tuition they would revieve</p>
<p>What’s are your stats?</p>
<p>you guys realize this thread is from 2004 right?</p>
