<p>I know that I can do Army ROTC there, but I spoke with the head of NROTC (my first choice over Army) and she said that I can only do the NROTC at UPark. The reason I choce Altoona over Hazelton is that it is only 45 miles from UPark, so if I ever wanted to go up to see a game, I could without dirivng 100 miles both ways.</p>
<p>Ps, I just realize your from serviceacademy forums, haha. I was confused on how you knew I wanted to do rotc</p>
<p>^^
Yes, I just read that both AROTC an AFROTC allow you to attend Altoona and still be a part of their PSU UP ROTC programs but not Navy. Good luck with your other college apps and you application for a transfer at PSU.</p>
<p>Thank you. Hopefully I get the NROTC scholarship, it that will put enough weight to help pull me into UPark</p>

<p>blue line don’t take it personally…schools like PSU get so many applications its pretty much a numbers game- your GPA was low- I saw your other thread you had some medical issues- and upward trend in grades- at other schools they might take the time to weigh that into the decision but PSU has so many qualified applicants it just selects those with the highest gpa/SAT per the bubble chart I’m sure you have seen. It doesn’t really reflect upon you as a person, you are probably just as able to succeed at PSU as others. At least PSU wasn’t your first choice so don’t sweat it!</p>

<p>I’m still waiting to hear back very nervously…I applied October 28, anyone know when I might hear from them?</p>
<p>Bridget316, the only number they consider is gpa. If you write good essays, anyone has a chance.</p>
<p>I’m guessing they accept applications in cycles based on major, because there were a few School of Engineering at the beginning and I haven’t seen any since…</p>
<p>PSU has the WORST process. It’s rolling…but it’s not. You can apply early but not have a decision made until the end when there are less spots available, possibly losing your spot to less qualified people. I mean, the reputation isn’t even that good–it’s like ‘where do you go to school?’
