Penn State 2011 Applicants Forum

I couldn't find if a thread was started on PSU.

Who's in?

Went complete 11/11/10. Hoping to hear soon. This is one of my top 5 choices if I can get a decent scholarship. 163/3.7.

I went complete on 11/11 as well.. I'm not holding out for a decision soon though, it seems as though they might take their time.

Got into Penn State last Thurs. Applied as soon as app opened and went complete pretty fast.

Did you do the optional "Why PSU?" essay?

[ran12]

yea i did. as a general rule of thumb it never hurts to do every optional part of the app. it could make the difference.

[northwood]

went complete as of 11/11. not expecting a decision until mid december though

[Chants]

Ditto to all of the above. Received complete email on 11/11. Good luck everyone

Did your status checker go to "in review" or something like that before you made a decision? How did they let you know you were accepted? Thanks

[ran12]

My app went into review 10/25. I got an email from Admissions informing me I was accepted.

[Aggiegrad2011]

I submitted on 11/3 and went complete 11/9. Still there at the moment.

[Spinozist21]

Well I guess I can post it here too, didn't realize this thread existed. I got in on Thurs. Sent in application 10/1...complete soon thereafter.

Applied 11/15. Hoping to go complete when the rest of my LOR's are uploaded within a week. Any idea how long decisions take to make after you go complete?

[leefair123]

I am under review since 10-22 still waiting....

[Peekay80]

I'm in the same boat. Under review since 10/25. Makes me nervous that others are in at the same time. Possibly a ding? It was a "safety" so I hope not.

Hey everyone, current Penn State 1L here. I have been taking questions on this thread:

http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 4&t=130990

So let me know if you have any.
I was complete and accepted after about a week and a half last year (160/3.85) and I got a nice scholarship.
Good luck to everyone and I hope to see you next fall!

Which campus did you guys apply to?

I'm taking my chances at UP.

I'm taking my chances at UP.

I applied at the beginning of November and went complete on 11/11. I wasn't really sure which campus to apply to. I went with Carlisle because I figure I could do without all the distractions of the undergrads for my first year. From all I read, it is relatively easy to switch between campuses for 2L and 3L years, so I don't think I'll miss out on any opportunities.

Did anybody get accepted yet for the Carlisle campus?

[Rgaliana]

Just went "Under review" moments ago.

I've been UR for ages it seems like. I'm kind of surprised and bummed I haven't seen more movement.

[Spinozist21]

I applied to UP and if I end up going to Penn State that will be the campus that I am at.

Where ya'll applying (campus wise)?

[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 where I applied.

Under review today as well Went complete 11/11.

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