I would also have changed your DUS. As you read, doesn’t matter if you are DUS or pre business Smeal.

Good luck. This worked for us.

Sorry, I left that out. He changed to undecided. Fingers crossed.

SMEAL 2+2 Altoona, we were told this was good and many got denied SMEAL this year. resubmitted for summer start +DUS. But in at Clemson, Kelley, and other northern schools, so and will wait for state schools and deferred southerns.


Same w DC. In at others - warmer ones which she wants plus Kelley. So going to Harrisburg for 2 years if laughable

DD got 2 + 2 and did reconsideration for DUS. Zero chance she's doing that lol. UP isn't even her first choice. I'm at bunch of others. She also won't do summer

3.7 uw, 4.5 weighted, only 1320 SAT

I am guessing going to get a 2 + 2, but hopefully since we checked OK to Summer Start that could allow him University Park.

Got in U S Carolina and UT Knoxville today, so feel a little less anxious.


He got in to Smeal, University Park, but must start in Summer.

2 plus 2 in Smeal? How would that work?
