[fringe stump]

[crimson sierra]

excuse me I have very little knowledge about your country but what happened

was it a civil war or what

[olive hound]

it was a takeover by the military

[crimson sierra]

oh damn and what do you think about the situation

[olive hound]

thought it was kinda dumb considering it just makes an already underdeveloped country slow down 💀

[rancid kelp]

Damn, i'm sorry thats happening to you. Admissions must be swamped

they doing you kinda wrong though because they said by the end of april

im reading you got accepted into some uk colleges.. what are the enrollment deadlines?

[fringe stump]

true

[crimson sierra]

july so im chilling

[crimson sierra]

can I complain and ask them to speed it up or is it just not worth it

[fringe stump]

Complicated shit

[crimson sierra]

ong

[fringe stump]

Maybe in a less complainy way?

[rancid kelp]

Oh okay that's good then

[rancid kelp]

Well I mean you applied in March so I don't think complaining would do much because it's rolling, but as rogue said you could politely request it to be reviewed in a timely manner since you need to make your decision to enroll in a college as soon as possible

[crimson sierra]

and you dont think it'll affect the decision?

in terms of wether it will be acceptance or rejection

[rancid kelp]

Honestly I am not sure, since you already emailed again too

[crimson sierra]

aight i wont send it then, ill just be patient

[fringe stump]

i guess those emails do count as "demonstrated interest"

[olive hound]

If it helps they told me my decision will be out by Wednesday

[fringe stump]

And you applied after youssefka

Bruh

[crimson sierra]

bro HOW

[crimson sierra]

when did you apply exactly

[olive hound]

March 28 but my sat score only went through April 3

[crimson sierra]

I applied March 3 but I added some Ecs on april 3 as well

[fringe stump]

goodluck bro

maybe we meet at Penn state

[gusty pulsar]

Help

I got accepted but into mechanical engineering i dont want that i want civil

Do u think I can request to change my major before I accept the offer

[naive flare]

What campus

[gusty pulsar]

University

State

[naive flare]

Nice

[gusty pulsar]

Can I or can I not😭

If i ask will they say f no

Penn state is so easy to get into i dont think theyll mind right

[rancid kelp]

First, congrats! Getting accepted into college of engineering at university park is great!

Switching majors in the college of engineering is pretty simple, especially since you will be starting as a premajor

You could request a change of major before the offer but they might say that you can do it after you accepted

[gusty pulsar]

Thank you

So its better to change after I get accepted right?

[rancid kelp]

I'd say there wouldn't be a difference, changing majors especially before starting classes is fairly easy

I'd think you'd just have to talk to your advisor to change it, which you'll do at new student orientation

[gusty pulsar]

Im worried i have to change ut now because I applied to a scholarship with mechanical

[rancid kelp]

Ohhhh

I mean, I think it's fine, if you applied to those penn state general engineering scholarships i think its okay. But do you mean you applied to an outside scholarship as mechanical engineering?

[gusty pulsar]

Yea I applied as mechanical not general engin

I think I might be able to change it its just a lengthy process

Thank you though❤️

[rancid kelp]

Of course, no problem, good luck on that process!

[prime vapor]

Thinking of applying

Are applications for international students still open and can I get in University Park?

[rancid kelp]

Yep, applications are still open since it's rolling admissions until about mid July. Im not sure if you can get to main campus though since it's past the initial enrollment date

For the past few years main campus is overenrolled, maybe this year it is not.

[crimson sierra]

guys I need help

how do I apply for housing meals and that

and after admission and the acceptance of the offer what do I have to do as an international applicant

in terms of documents

[fringe stump]

they gonna mail u

Something like "Get ready to #LiveOn"

Or i guess you could try going straight to eliving.psu.edu

[crimson sierra]

I think ill just wait for them to email me

[rancid kelp]

Well Penn Staters, or previously prospective students. You made it. The application season for you is over, and it's time to think about College full time. Whether you are committed to Penn State main campus, Penn state branch campuses, or didn't commit to Penn State at all, I wish you all the best of luck and congratulations. To students still looking for colleges, Penn State applications are still open on a rolling admissions basis, with applications closing sometime in July(check the website). If anyone has any questions about Penn State, feel free to tag me or DM me, I'll try my best to answer them or point you in the right direction if I cannot find an answer. For my fellow Penn Staters, best of luck in NSO and scheduling classes. Be smart when scheduling, you'll have to compromise in some parts(probably early classes), and if a certain class is full, don't sweat it, you'll very likely be able to take it next semester, or find it during the regular add/drop period, just talk w/ your advisor. And try to be open and connect with everyone, you won't regret it. If you're coming to University Park in the fall, maybe I'll see you around! I'll probably be around South, Redifer and Pollock Commons, catching a bite to eat(or nap) after class. Whether you're coming to Penn State or not, I wish you all safe travels and a prosperous semester ahead. WE ARE!

It's evident that you possess a deep connection and passion for Penn State, and your willingness to assist and provide guidance is incredibly admirable.

To all the Penn Staters, both current and prospective, congratulations on reaching this significant milestone in your academic journey. The application season can be a whirlwind of emotions, but you have persevered and now stand at the threshold of an incredible opportunity. Whether you have committed to Penn State's main campus, one of its branch campuses, or have chosen a different path altogether, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to each and every one of you.

For those who are still in the process of searching for colleges, Penn State's rolling admissions provide an excellent opportunity to explore this esteemed institution further. I encourage you to take advantage of this chance and delve into the myriad academic programs and resources Penn State has to offer. Be sure to check the website for specific deadlines and requirements, and don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions team for any inquiries you may have.

To the incoming Penn State students, I want to wish you the best of luck as you navigate the exciting transition into college life. This period may be filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness, but rest assured that you have made a fantastic choice by selecting Penn State. The university is renowned for its commitment to academic excellence, vibrant campus community, and vast array of opportunities for personal growth.

As you embark on your college journey, I encourage you to approach the process of scheduling classes with thoughtfulness and flexibility. It's important to be strategic in selecting your courses, understanding that compromises may need to be made, such as potentially having early morning classes. Remember that if a desired class is currently full, there are often alternatives available either in subsequent semesters or during the add/drop period. Your academic advisor will be an invaluable resource, offering guidance and support to help you navigate through these challenges.

Beyond academics, I wholeheartedly endorse your advice to be open and connect with everyone you encounter. College is a time of growth, not just academically, but also personally and socially. Embrace the opportunity to meet new people, engage in campus activities, and join clubs or organizations that align with your interests. The connections you make during your time at Penn State will not only enrich your college experience but may also pave the way for lifelong friendships and valuable networking opportunities.

Lastly, to all students, whether you're coming to Penn State or pursuing a different path, I want to wish you safe travels, a smooth transition into college life, and a prosperous semester ahead. This is a momentous time filled with immense potential, and I have no doubt that each and every one of you will thrive and achieve great things.

Once again, I extend my heartfelt appreciation for your kind message and the support you have shown to others. Your genuine care and willingness to make a difference exemplify the spirit of community that is so cherished in the college experience. May your own journey be filled with success, growth, and unforgettable memories.

Guy's I applied three weeks and haven't heard back, what do I do?

[fringe stump]

wait?

[rancid kelp]

Did you check your portal for any updates?

[bold belfry]

You want penn state instead of uci?

[prime vapor]

Anyday because Penn is very high in spirit and University Park looks amazing..

[prime vapor]

I have every day but no luck so far..

[rancid kelp]

Hmm, sorry to hear about that. Id just wait and see, maybe after a month has passed since you submitted you can email admissions.

[rancid kelp]

Unfortunately I feel like it is unlikely university Park would be available at this point.. students are already attending new student orientation at UP and the priority housing and food contract deadline has likely passed
