i got into penn state main with a 3.60 gpa (no sat or sat scores submitted) , just make sure that you write BOTH essays on the common app and make them the best you possibly can
It’s so crazy how I’m trying to decide between South Carolina and penn state just like you are this video helped a lot ! 💗
just so everyone knows i got into main w a 3.6 w GPA & no scores!! you all got this, make sure to take CHALLENGING classes & have lots of EC’s
did you apply early admission or regular?
I am looking to go to Penn state main as well it has been my dream school for a long time . I have a 3.5 GPA and do not want to send in my test scores , I’m taking mostly honors classes my senior year and have a ton of EC’s including sports , work, and volunteering at church and food banks ! Any input on if I can get in if I apply super early ?
@@giannatorchia7236 i got in with a 3.2 gpa and no scores so you’ll be okay even if you don’t apply early. i submitted some honor achievements but that was about it, you have a pretty good chance of getting in with what you stated
Applying early action with a 3.92 GPA in IB Course, really want to get in

I’m currently a junior and penn state has been my DREAM since 7th grade. I wanna apply ED but I don’t want them to take all my money
Psu doest have ED they have EA so they don't have a binding option !!
You will make Money back. Follow your heart. My advice I'm going for Business already creating my own company. I am going for Football and Wrestling (Mostly) Trying out for the Olympic Team and It Is the Best Wrestling school and Commitment family feel. Going For Business since I run 11+. So Business, Marketing, Sales, or Kinesiology.
Makes sense Business or Body so I can focus on Wrestling, Football (Maybe) Boxing, MMA since I already Am a Boss In Business and Disciplined. Gives me opportunity. I say go for it!
im in 7th grade and i really wanna go to penn state
did u get in!?
I'm a 7th grader and I wanna go to Penn state lol
Such a great, helpful video!! It's so cool that you know about Sydney who I watch too and goes to Penn State. Good luck in College!! and I'll still be here to watch your videos even when I head to college in the Winter:)

Hi! I just found your dorm tour video. Are you doing the PaSSS Program for your summer session, or something similar? I went to and graduated from a PSU branch campus and did PaSSS, so it would be cool to see a CZcamsr talk about it if you’re doing it!
I submitted my application last week for nursing, this is my dream school and I’m so pumped to be apart of Penn State fall 2021! 🤍
What campus did you pick?
i am a freshman in high school so i got awhile but im working hard and making sure to do good to get in
Super helpful I’m applying to penn state also and I’m like so lost as to what to do
If you're a transfer student from a college make sure to check if you have a transfer agreement with the college, If you're listed at one of the schools especially if your a community college student you are guarantied to get in because of the transfer agreement they have.
From what I heard, pennstate does not require recommendations nor superscore the sat.
I’ve gone to Penn State games since Joe Paterno was in his final season as head coach. I was accepted to Main Campus for biomedical engineering today and I’m SO PUMPED!
Nathan G omg I wanna do same
Any update on how it’s going?? Literally looking into same major anddddd main campus haha!
i was just accepted for biomedical engineering at the main campus yesterday and i’m so excited!

I am an alum who volunteered as an alum Admission volunteer for like 30 years. My spouse and I and all 3 of our daughters went to Penn State. My spouse mentors students in SMEAL Business. You have some misinformation here. 1. The SAT is preferred. Your GPA based on major classes is 2/3 of your equation for entrance, math, science, English, foreign language but not band, or phys,ed, etc. Not sure what you are talking about on essays or teachers writing recs unless you applied to Scholars program / or honors. Typically Penn State does not have essays. Apply EARLY. Make sure your,application is complete. If you plan to take the SAT again to hopefully increase your score, do not wait... just submit and when you take the SAT again, send the new score to PSU. My 3 daughters completed their applications and were already accepted by late October. Definitely check Summer semester start, it increases chance of getting into Univ. Park if you are just a wee bit below fall GPA and SAT cut off. If you are applying to certain Colleges like SMEAL Business, Engineering, which are 2 of the most high demand at PSU, you have to be outstanding to get into University Park. Otherwise plan on a Commonwealth Campus offer. The later you apply, the higher your grades and SAT must be, because by Nov, Dec, many spots are already filled. University Park accepts fewer freshmen because there are at least 20 locations where a Freshman can start and complete basic freshman requirements. Some majors require you start at University Park and upperclassmen can finish their degree there, so they form the bulk of the 40,000 or so students at University Park ( along with athletes, graduate students).
I got in applying late, engineering and in the main lol but idk if im going to go. Still making the decision
Summer session is starting college during the summer semester instead of fall. It gives you a slightly higher chance of acceptance. Not every campus offers summer session, University Park didn’t offer it summer 2020!
a d so if we got accepted to the summer session to get into the fall, we didn’t really get accepted ?
a d and what if we dont got into the fall after doing the summer session and we already turned down other colleges ?
im debating between south carolina and penn state too that's crazy. This was very helpful
im glad i could help !!! :)
I'm a high school Sophomore from South Korea and I've set a goal to get into Penn State for a business major. I've hadn't had a good grade but I'm working hard now and I want to ask how I should prepare for upcoming exams like ACT and SAT in Korea since I know the way of preparing tests from Korea and the U.S. has a pretty much of a difference.
so did you get in?
I got in. I’m so surprised LOL!
3.51 with an ACT of 29, MAIN OR BUST BABY LETS GOOOO
# Weare!! Fellow Penn stater! Although Im a Commonwealth campus Student! Welcome to Penn State!
Your so reminding me from Serena on Gossip Girl 😍❤️ (looks and the sick voice lol)
Anywho thanks for doing this informative video I’m transferring here next year and this helps
Thank you greatly for the video. Plan on Wrestling and potentially QB Football here. Want to be a 3 Sport Athlete so we will see. Wish Me Skill, Luck is Skill.
i’m class of 2023 too ... but in high school. i’m looking into schools that have a decent student life and computer science. so for the rest of high school i know what i have to maintain to go to the schools i want to 😁
My cousin Sara is a Junior at Penn State to play lacrosse and she’s majoring in communications she loves it and the best part is she’s a whole 2 hours from me so we can’t fight like usual
Grew up in state college and moved to NC a year or so ago. Hopefully I get to go back to my dream school. My mom was friends with Joe Paterno. I thought that was hella cool to mention
wow no way!! thats awesome dude, I hope you get to go back too!!!
Just got in for summer semester 2020 for computer science!
This helped me a lot thank you!!!!!
I recently got the choice to be waitlisted for University park or accepted to an alternate campus. I really want to go to university park so I accepted the waitlist offer, is there anything I can do now to increase my chances or is all I can do wait? Some people said LOCI's are good for waitlisted students, but I also don't want to be denied because I sent a slightly annoying email lol. I applied for pre-med track, if that information helps :)
I got in penn state with a 3.8 gpa year 2023!
im also choosing in between south carolina and penn state !
Anyone who goes to Penn State do you guys know what the GPA requirement is as a transfer student for University Park? I seen that the website says a 2.5+ GPA as transfer student for main campus but I want to make sure that the information was accurate.
I got into to leap program but I really don’t want to take classes over the summer. Do you think that since the classes are online it will be any easier ?
Do dragons lay eggs? If so, then maybe the force will be with you
honestly penn state is my reach school at this point, my friend didn’t get into university park and she had a 3.8. and if i don’t get into university park, i don’t wanna go tbh
Corrine S Did you get in?
Will Bonin im a junior rn so ill b applying next year. I’ll lyk then if I get in tho !!!!
What was her SAT score if u don’t mind sharing
@@corrines4270 did you end up getting in?
Got into university park like 30 minutes ago
My dream school, I’m going for engineering then get a engineering job then a Porsche then a rollex
Lemme know how it goes
hey! i need some advice. so, Im in 8th grade and am currently picking my highschool classes. I'm taking every other class honors, however I'm not so sure in math. I'm taking algebra 1 right now and the high school options for me is Algebra 2 and Honors Algebra 2. I have an 87 in my first marking period for math and an 89 in the second marking period. To take honors I need at least a 90. So, since I am not taking honors Algebra 2, will that affect my chances of getting into Penn State eventually? I know I sound crazy considering i'm only in 8th grade but I've always wanted to go to Penn State since I was little and I worry that this may affect my chances.
I’m applying November 1st for early action at PSU I’m so nervous it’s my top choice!! 🥴🥴🥴
good luck girl! I'm sure you'll get in :) 💕
same here !!!!
I just got accepted today. Good luck!
Nathan G Did you apply for summer semester or fall semester? Me and 3 of my close friends applied for fall semester and none of us heard back.
@@ramen1551 I applied for summer 2020 and haven't heard back /:
What’s the summer session?
I have a question, so if you apply for summer session does that transfer over to you just go to psu??? Lol I don’t know if that’s a dumb question but if you get in summer session does that just mean you go to penn state and are there for all 4 years
i’m pretty sure as long as you do well in the two classes they have you take in the summer session, you will be enrolled into the fall semester! :)
What’s summer session?
I haven't joined any sports and maybe I joined like two clubs. Will that be a problem for when I apply for Penn State?
i only joined one sport and no clubs! I'm sure you'll be fine! 2 clubs is great! I think they just like to see that you get involved!
I got in!! Majoring in mechanical engineering
congrats!!!!! have a great time there! i hope you love it!
Is the ACT required? My mom and I are arguing about if it's required or not (I think it is right??) lol
Almost all colleges require some form of standardized testing, whether it's the SAT or ACT. This year, however, for class of 2021, I think testing is optional, though I would recommend taking it. At the end of the day, Penn State isn't exactly a selective school so you should be fine.
why am i doing research on colleges and taking notes on how to get in? i’m only in 8th grade
Better to start early my dear fellow
Thank you
Not sure why I’m watching this when I already got accepted. I applied early action and got a decision in 2 weeks
Julie D do u feel it’s better to apply early decision or reg decision
Blanca Webb I think early is better. You will get a decision sooner than regular and it may even give you a higher chance at getting in.
Does early action mean that you submitted ur stuff in junior year or during the summer?
@@runituplor2 no mine was due in October. Early action just allows you to get a decision faster
Had a 4.2(weighted) and a 1230 SAT and they rejected me :/ I guess engineering is just way too competitive
iFloat11 DAMN no way!? im sorry!!! and yea i believe engineering is one of their most competitive majors 🥺
did u apply early?
@@Beast-sx3qp yep, early action
@@ifloat1119 damn i jus applied yesterday to engineering lmao

I got accepted!
Just found out I got in today 🥳🥳

Congrats ! What were your stats ?
i got into penn state berks campus!!
awww congrats!!!!
Hello
Thanks for your advices
I wanna apply for the penn state computer science program
How can I improve my extracurricular activities? Cuz I don’t have any experience in the sphere IT
I got in for summer but idk if I should do it, how is the summer session?
summer is great!!! its a nice transition into college life, you only have 2 classes so you can spend a lot of time on adjusting and making friends! I definitely think summer is a great option! if you want to go to penn state, definitely do summer!!!!
Julia Giunta do u get to join the fall session after?
Blanca Webb yes!!!! we had a 2 week break between summer and fall and then went to fall session :)
is it hard to get in as a transfer?
I've always wanted to go to Penn state but as an international student I have found it really hard to find information on how to apply I'm a senior in Australia and I'm just so lost anyways i really enjoyed this video
Go on their website and apply. They have rolling admission so you still have a chance. Not much to it. I’m an international student as well and I got accepted for fall 2021
@@mohammedalhendi5764
what about thru common app?
what is summer session
I got into the summer 2020 university park so I’m confused it’s a requirement to get into the Fall 2020. I feel like I didn’t do good enough I guess ? I take things too much to heart 😅
Hannah I was accepted the same way girl! dont take it to heart, psu is a great school whether you got in for summer or fall! im proud of you ❤️ congrats!
Julia Giunta thank you!! I was kinda shocked 😂Can you give me some input and advice about the summer program maybe?
of course! personally, i would suggest meeting as many new people as you can during summer, you only have 2 classes and you have lots of time on your hands so its perfect for making friends! then in the fall you can focus in on classes instead of worrying about meeting new people :) also, if u end up hating your summer friends, you can start fresh in the fall!! last, i would highly suggest doing your best in the summer to boost your gpa later on in the fall when you have more on your plate ☺️ hope this helps!!!! best of luck and CONGRATS!!!!!
Julia Giunta okay thank u so much ! If I end up choosing to go to Penn State this fall I will defiantly try to say hi if I see you
Does Penn state look at letters of recommendation? Their website makes it seem like they don’t.
All might give you a good one
See what I did there
how many aps did you take? and how many honors? in highschool
claire keef i took ap spanish, ap calc, ap chem, and ap english, the rest were honors!

Some accurate historical information from Brittanica Encyclopedia:
Penn State removed the statue of George Whitefield in 2020 just so they never have to discuss how slavery was an institution all over the world long before the U.S was established. Long before the British Empire (Who, by the way, were the ones that abolished slavery as an institution)
The 50 slaves of George Whitefield, the ones who wrote, wrote of Whitefield as a good man and a happy Saint that they loved and cherished. . . Whitefield also established letters sent out to Maryland, Virginia and South Carolina of the abuses within the institution of slavery saying to them that they will have quarrels with none other than God for their evil practices.
The establishment of societies worldwide have always consisted of slaves. "Slaves" that were often treated fairly, OFTEN didn't want to leave, even when given the chance due to their human value being highlighted by the Christians. . .
But instead, the masses just dance to the rhythm of the music unaware of the lyrics.
im going to be a senior in high school and i really wanna go to penn state!! however my SAT score is not so well... other than that though my grades, extrac., service, etc is all good. ahh
there test optional so you don’t have to submit your sat score :) i was never able to take the test so i won’t be submitting an sat or act

Why would any parent allow their child to go to Penn State? There clearly is something wrong at that school.
Pleiku Whats wrong with it?
Have you not seen the latest report on the football team?
Pleiku that’s football lmao you act like that’s he entire school
Well why did nobody put a stop to it or at least say it's going too far? And, as far as the rest of the school, where was the student demonstration demanding that administration put an end to football team culture? And the fact that you're laughing about it says it all.
Not one person told this guy to stop or at least said this is going too far. Students did not demonstrate to get the administration to change the culture of the football team. And the fact that you're laughing about this says it all.
Omg girl I’m between South Carolina & penn state too
I thought penn state didn’t require letters of rec?
And I thought that turtles could fly, but I guess only one of us was wrong here...

If people only knew how badly employees are treated at Penn State they would never give this university another dime! Penn State prides itself on respecting diversity yet fired me from a job for no reason other than that I believe gay marriage should be between a man and a woman. Penn State fired me from a job
there because I said "I support the laws of the country" when someone asked me my opinion on the immigration issue who labeled me a racist. I had two years of a perfect work record at a dining hall, never late, never missed a shift, worked my brains out - then still not given a union job while the nephew of a manager got the job. How fair is it for union employees here to be paid almost double that of temps and wage payroll people doing exactly the same job? At the Penn Stater Hotel I was simply commenting on privacy rights in a discussion about the Sandusky sex abuse case - minutes later to be physically dragged to the exit of the building
and threatened to be thrown down a flight of stairs. This apparently is pretty typical here! Diversity and respect for all? Ha ha, yes only the Penn State way. And for the outrageous tuition here and all the students who graduate often with crap degrees and nothing more than a pile of debt - what a pathetic place! And
just imagine paying as much as $600 a year merely to park your car if you work here! And perhaps worst of all is the alcohol problem here with the majority of students getting drunk every weekend, some dying from alcohol poisoning and/or drinking related injuries every year with the Penn State administration doing virtually nothing about this.
WOOOO, this makes me wanna apply rn. my high school had people like you and just yuck
@@emazaxiix5177 If you have any brains you will know exactly what you want to study and major in, fully understand how to deal with the outrageous cost and elminate debt ASAP, and the pathetic liberal indoctrination here and avoid the alcohol and partying nonsense and push for A grades instead!

Everyone should know the history of the Great Awakening and the 2nd Great Awakening.
The history of medicine, nursing practices, Healthcare overall; Established by Christians who were more than willing to aid the sick and dying by bringing them into their own homes and even succumb to the sickness and yet die with joy. As reported in ancient rome on the history of Pandemics and viruses.
The history of Literature.(C.S Lewis, Cambridge professor of Philosophy. Luc Ferry, French secular humanist, politician, wrote: philosophical guide to living)
The history of societies. (Oxford Mathematician, John lennox investigated Soviet Union. Alexis De Tocqueville, French Attorney investigated early U.S society)
