When do they return from break?
Jan 4th
I submitted my app over to University Park for review, (I originally applied to PSU Harrisburg and got accepted). Yesterday I found out that University Park transferred my app back over to Harrisburg, and I got my Harrisburg offer again. I concluded that this means University Park rejected my application. Can I appeal this decision? Can I tell an admissions counselor that I want to do undecided instead? No summer option. Would applying undecided increase my chances? My stats are a 3.4 weighted gpa and a 1240 SAT score. I had a family emergency in 11th grade and I wrote about that in the essay. I think the counselor rec. was also great.
^ Your GPA is below average for UP and your SAT is really below average for UP. TBH I’d just take the Harrisburg acceptance.
@DragonFire16 was your sat score just reading and math? or was that for all 3?
@bodangles I figured they were below avg, but perhaps the family emergency can help. I’m ready to do undecided after all. Plus I got some extracurriculars. My class rank is on target as well.
@asaberian it was for all 3.
I originally applied for Info sciences and tech.
Is it even worth appealing?
@DragonFire16 To be honest…with an SAT that low. I think an appeal would not be worth it. Take the Harrisburg acceptance…hopefully in 2yrs you can transfer to UP.
@DragonFire16 Your gpa is a 50/50 but your sat is unfortunately way too low… My sat reading+math was a around 1240 and it’s still not competitive enough
@coco2222 your’s is competitive enough it’s just not guarenteed
@asaberian thank you it’s good to know
Hi guys
Any chance for Computer Science?
Perm. Resid. currently studying in Taiwan (US freshmen)

10-11th Class Rank : 390/869 (44%) … I know …
@jlhpsu @zipbags you seem like you know a lot about psu applications and acceptances, what do you think my chances are of getting in with a 3.7 gpa(14 honors) and a 1750 SAT. I also checked the summer option. I’m in state at a small catholic school. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
@Ian123 I am no expert, but your stats are in the slightly above average range. If you apply DUS with summer option you will have a better chance. PSU takes GPA 3/4th decision and Scores 1/4th. Good Luck!
@ian123 I think you should be good. Did you apply before the Nov.30th priority deadline?
@crazycat220 ok thank you
@zipbags yes I applied mid October and my application was complete by the beginning of November. I also applied DUS

Pardon me didnt include much details. In my country students do O-levels and A-levels. I had 9 A’s in O-levels and and 4 A’s in A-levels. Expected grades were all A*'s. My latest subjects are chemistry, physics, maths and economics.
@crazycat220 sorry for the late reply, I applied around the end of September. They had all of my supporting materials maybe the first-second week of October
