PSU Update

No word on whether Alyssa has been accepted to Penn State yet. I did read an article on their web site that they received 40,000 applications for the start of the fall 2007 year! That is for a total of 15,000 openings statewide. Of that 15,000, they accept about 7,000 at the main campus.

Over the holidays (Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, New Year's....LOL), they had a statement on their web site, that no decisions would be made thruough 3 January 2007. It also said that anyone who had applied prior to 30 November 2006, would hear by 31 January 2007. So at this point, it is just a waiting game.

Several of her friends who applied to PSU satellite campuses have heard that they have been accepted. She also knows of a few students who applied to the main campus and have NOT been accepted there.

We are patiently (or impatiently!) waiting to hear. I look on their web site every day, sometimes twice a day (I know...that's pathetic!!). I am taking it as a good sign that she hasn't heard anything, especially since we know of some people who have already been told they weren't accepted at main. I figure they must still be considering her, or she would have heard by now.

Keep your fingers crossed for her!
