<p>I was accepted into Penn State over a month ago..</p>
<p>Stats:
| 1460 SAT | 98/100 GPA | 2/47 Rank | Good Ec's, Recs, Essays |</p>
<p>I also applied to:
Notre Dame
Boston College
U Michigan
UNC Chapel Hill
U Miami</p>
<p>I was already deferred from UNC.. Does anyone feel like "resorting" to Penn St. would be just settling? Compared to their other college choices? Looking for some feedback here.. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>In addition to PSU I applied to:
Syracuse U.
LeMoyne College (accepted)
Ithaca College
SUNY at Albany
SUNY at Cortland (accepted)</p>
<p>and no PSU would not be settling, its my first choice but whether or not I go depends on how much aid/schollies I get.</p>
<p>accepted to PSU but also applying to:
Case Western Reserve University
Harvard University (reach ;))
Northeastern University</p>
<p>I do think ill end up at PSU. I like all the schools on my list (why apply if you wouldnt be happy ending up at that school?), but PSU has a great engineering school and its cheaper for me cuz im in-state(i def need fin. aid) so theres a good chance Ill go to PSU, I certainly wouldnt hate that :)</p>
<p>I didn't apply to any other schools. </p>
<p>I was planning on doing that but Since I got my Acceptance letter a couple Days before Thanksgiving, There really wasn't any need to because I had already gotten into my First Choice. AND I was kind of too lazy to try for like a Big name Ivy school. It would have been fun to try but I'd probably end up going to PSU anyway, so I didn't bother with that. </p>
<p>BTW,, So far I'm going to the Top-Ranked College out of anyone in my High School. <strong>boo-yaa"</strong></p>
<p>yeah PSU is higher than anyone at my school as well Joey (atleast I believe so) :)</p>
<p>Applied to:
U of Michigan (accepted, but I will never support their athletics when they play Penn State.)
Harvard (defered)
MIT
Duke
Johns Hopkins
Cornell
U of FL
Washington U in St. Louis
Princeton</p>
<p>Also Applied to:
- McGill
- Boston University
- Binghamton U.

- American
- Rensselaer</p>
<p>Besides PSU, daughter applied to:
U of Miami (Accepted)
Columbia
NYU
Northwestern
Syracuse
American
Ithaca (Accepted)
Marist (Accepted)</p>
<p>I think it will end up coming down to PSU, Miami or American. Miami gave her nice merit money too.</p>
<p>My son applied to:
Cornell(ED)(Rejected)
PSU Accepted into Engineering
Syracuse
Notre Dame
Cal Poly
University of Cincinatti</p>
<p>He is planning on going to PSU (in state!!!). Have not heard from other schools yet. Even if he gets in others, he is almost sure that he wants to go to PSU.
Stats: 2030 GPA 3.8 EC's Boy Scout (Eagle), National Honor Art Society etc...</p>
<p>I applied to:
UNC (And of course, you and I share the same sentiment there. Deferrals really bite coming from your first choice.)
UVA (Waiting still...)
BU (Ditto UVA...)
UT - Austin (Auto-admit)
PSU (Accepted) </p>
<p>I think the whole idea of feeling like you "settled" would depend on your original reasons for applying to PSU. If you applied there as a safety, as one of those colleges that you'd attend if you didn't get in anywhere else, then yes, it would be settling. If not, then it could be as rewarding of a place to be as UNC. Maybe it doesn't have the prestige, but if you can be happy somewhere, then that's never "resorting to" or "settling" for anything. I personally applied to PSU because my dad is an alumnus and I adore the campus; for that reason, if that's where I end up, I'll have fun.</p>
<p>I applied to:
Penn State (Accepted)
Cornell
Binghamton (Accepted)
U of Maryland
Brandeis
U of Michigan (Accepted)</p>
<p>I'm probably going to michigan, but that's partially because it has the extra currics i want more than any other school. If Penn State has what you're interested in, it's not settling at all, it's a great school. If it doesn't, then wait it out and see where else u get in (which is annoying, but at least u know you're going somewhere).</p>
<p>I also applied to:</p>
<p>University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign (accepted)
University of Wisconsin- Madison
University of Washington</p>
<p>I was accepted to Penn State within 2 weeks of applying, so I didn't end up having to fill out my safety applications. :)</p>
