I have been filling out applications and I noticed that the Penn State application asks a surprisingly little amount of information compared to all the other applications I have filled out (UC, CSU, Udub). Am I filling out the wrong application? Or will they just ask for me to send everything in after? I don’t seems fishy to me and I already put in by SS number. Can someone give me some more information please??
Well 2/3 of the decision is based on your GPA and the other 1/3 is like ACT/SAT, class rank, class rigor, and extra curriculars. The personal statement is optional so I doubt they even look at it that much. But to answer your question: yes, the application is very short.
