In at Penn State

[Anonymous]

My DD got actual physical mail notification yesterday.

3.88 weighted, 1150 SAT (not sure if she submitted or not).

Looked it up at PSU was more competitive than I was expecting. It’s good to have the first acceptance in hand. Not sure we can afford out of state tuition, but I think they may discount a little for surrounding states?

Waiting on VT, JMU and CNU plus a few others.

Anyone have any experience with financial aid at Penn State?

I am not quite sure about the financial aid, but congratulations Penn State is a fabulous school!

Very little (if any) merit for OOS students.
Small price break if attending a non-UP campus.

Penn State does not discount to surrounding states.

I think she submitted as a sociology major or maybe psychology.

She’s just a basic white girl.

I remember getting some flyer when my oldest was applying that talked about a discount for Virginia students. But maybe it was for that satellite campus thing. This is it I think… https://admissions.psu.edu/costs-aid/scholarships/discover/

My DD has the same stats - 3.8 w and an 1150 SAT and was denied University Park but accepted at Altoona. Penn State does not superscore. I think my DD may have had a better chance for UP if she went test/optional.

Was accepted at JMU and is waiting on Pitt. She does not want to go to PSU Altoona.

Congrats! I bet she went TO. That score is really low to get into University Park. Not low for the 2+2 program starting at a satellite campus.

Not financial aid.

However dorms with 5 to a room and in study halls or lounges 8 boys to a spot. No thanks.
