Penn State 2011 Applicants Forum

[firecracker]

Applied 11/11. Complete 11/12. Under review TODAY!

My college roommate recommended I apply to Carlisle because that's where she is (1L), but I need a bigger campus, so UP is better for me.

Gotta be at UP...I mean where else do you have a chance to see a Penn State runningback peeing on campus?

+1 When you put it that way...

Penn State freshman runningback Silas Redd was arrested and cited for peeing in public a couple days ago.

Redd is a great young runningback...you'd figure he could run really fast into a dorm or something.

Ha, yes you would figure. But football is actually something I asked my former roomie about since she is in Carlisle. She told me no one has time for the football games, but I'm guessing it's because they'd have to drive 2 hours or something to go to them right? Or does no one have time to go to one football game ever??

Under Review today as well... maybe it won't take them that long after all.

I'll find time to go to games...Paternoville!

I am under review as well and the date changed to today. Does anybody who was already admitted know how long it took Penn State to render a decision from the Under Review stage?

[ran12]

Took about 2.5 weeks to get a decision

[brochocinco]

I'm Under Review too! I'm really surprised with the swiftness of PSU. I got an email about my status checker about 3 hours after I applied.

[balzern]

been UR since 11/2...any timetable?

[leefair123]

still under review since 11-2 i submitted end oct....

[northwood]

im going UP. If I end up going,, I would like the opportunity to see a college football game in happy valley. I also heard paterno ice cream is pretty good too!

joe paterno has his own ice cream flavor named after him.... i guess you can say its well deserved, since hes been there before ice cream was invented...

Agreed.

There's something drawing me to this law school. It's not the highest ranked school, but for some reason PSU is really standing out to me.

[northwood]

i hear you on that... i applied, originally not caring what the outcome is,( so i didnt write the optional essay), but now im starting to really hope i go there, I have no logical explination for this, but it starting to feel like its the right one.


And the worst part is that i havent been drinking, so i cant blame it on the alcohol!

[Chants]

I feel like this is happening to me too. At penn state and two others that were supposed to be fall back plans..these 3 are now top of my list and I find myself wishing id submitted more why x's...

[northwood]

i know.. plus i couldnt attend the open house this past saturday as i was out of town.

im hoping i get accepted so i can see the campus for myself

[Barbie]

I def. need my acceptances early if I want to plan to visit. It's hard to take off work.

[Spinozist21]

I actually really like their technologically advanced campus...

That's one of the best parts!

The law school has a lot going for it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dickinson surge in the rankings in the next couple of years.

[hurricane10]

I am from the State College area so if anyone has any questions about the general area or school let me know

As a 1L I can tell you that it is really, really nice to have a building where everything is "plugged in." You can plug in your laptop anywhere you are, all the classes are recorded and you can interview via video conference. Those are just a few things I can think of off the top of my head, but it is a really awesome building.

[Spinozist21]

Hopefully before we would graduate lol.

[TJISMYHERO]

I also went under review today.. :/

[eternallearner]

For those accepted: did you receive a fee waiver (non-financial based)?

[northwood]

fee waivers dont mean anything.

they have no coorelation to acceptance or denail, or sholarship. Its just a way to get more people to apply

This seems correct. I received a need-based waiver, but no merit based.
