I'm an older non-traditional applicant, and I do not think programs like PSU take people like me seriously regardless of qualifications. I have two MA in English, Ivy undergrad, 5 conference presentations, publications in peer reviewed journals, great fit with this program. The grad admissions committees would rather take a 22 year old with no record who seems safer than someone with tons of accomplishments but is more non-traditional like me. English programs talk about "fit" until "fit" means taking a risk.

lol

Please decline ASAP if you're not going to attend.

Was rejected from PSU-Park, and was forwarded to PSU.hbg from Park. Does anyone know how is the hbg.psu CS program ranked against that of PSU-Park, which is 28th ?

no funding:( accepted a full funding offer @ Kent State today instead!

Already submitted my non-refundable deposit to Kean so I'm not too upset.

Told me no decision is yet finalised (in response to my application query).

offered for consideration in Penn State Harrisburg

Accepted off of waitlist.

No Funding at all... their budget just got cut. On even monetary ground with my other option.

Declined my offer of admission today. Good luck to those waitlisted!

I was really well-qualified for this program. 800 verbal GRE. 720 quantitative. Two M.A. in English. Conference presentations and publications. Great fit. Yet I don't think that cared a bit. I don't see how a polite rejection matters when you're super well-qualified but they don't acknowledge it.

Whatever.
