Penn Stare people love their school thirty years later. I don’t see the same with UMD.

Was her application complete with her SRAR and did your DD check the portal or did it go to her regular email?

Yes, her application was complete and we got a letter in the mail, very surprising.

Apples and oranges.

Penn State is twice the size of MD when you consider statewide campus population. If you want to compare Main Campus admits at PSU to MD, both are 40K, They are both around a 50% admit rate. SAT range is 1270 to 1490 for PSU and 1280 to 1470 at MD

Thank you! 4.2 weighted GPA (private), Test optional, decent EC’s, good amount of AP’s

DC got an acceptance letter yesterday. Applied EA, OOS, 4.2w public, 1400 SAT, solid ECs, decent APs but not most rigorous

I thought EA decisions were coming out closer to 12/24. That's great they are earlier. Congrats!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why PA will swing GOP in 2024.

What in the world does this have to do with politics?

This is cancel culture. It's a real thing that real people hate. And too many liberals just can't help themselves.

While a student committing to attend today has absolutely nothing to do with what happened, you certainly can't gloss over and forget what happened either. We're talking about an institutional cover up of child rape in the name of protecting a football program. The president of the school at the time is currently in prison. This isn't a liberal or conservative thing. Im certain that there are many conservatives who are just as disgusted with what happened as with liberals. Not a fan of cancel culrure either, but PSU made its own bed here.

Incarcerating child rapists and their facilitators has broad bipartisan support (save when the rapist in question is a Republican elected official, of course), but "PSU would not be allowed" is absolutely a liberal thing. And telling all Penn State alumni (a million-plus?) that their most treasured institutional connection is fatally tainted because of something they didn't do and couldn't control is a great way to alienate them.

Life is unfair. I’m sorry your treasured institutional connection was full of child rapists and apologists. Be mad at them not us. What kind of people put the good time they had in college ahead of really almost the most heinous crime there is? I had a great experience at lots of places in my life. What’s with this childish clinging to an institution?

NP--Your argument is so full of holes that it's not worth the time trying to explain the problems with it.
