I didn t want to go to a college where a lot of other people from my high school would be going. I ve met so many great people here. Autumn Griffin knew the importance of making Penn State her own. She s been involved with the ASHE Theatre Club and the Student Minority Advisory and Recruitment Team (SMART), where she worked with Penn State adviser Gary Abdullah to help bring underrepresented students to Penn State.

Class size At University Park 85% of first-year classes have 50 or fewer students. Only twelve courses have more than 400 students. At other Penn State campuses The Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) provides educational planning, advising, and referral services for students who wish to explore several majors. DUS advisers will teach you to connect your interests to a Penn State major. Classes generally have 20 or fewer students. Faculty Penn State is a top producer of Fulbright Scholars among research institutions, with 11 Fulbright Scholars in 2013 14. It s a great asset to have when you re undecided, like Danielle Williamson, who explored her options before settling on the Biobehavioral Health major. I knew I wanted something in the health area, but I wasn t sure exactly what, she says. My advisers knew a little about everything and encouraged me to take courses I wouldn t normally try. One of those outside the box courses was an introductory biobehavioral health course, which Danielle cites as a deciding factor in selecting her major. Danielle plans to attend graduate school for occupational therapy after finishing her degree. 3

Berks has a family-like atmosphere. It s very personal; they check in on you. Where is Penn State? There is no short answer, because Penn State is a multicampus university. Wherever you want to be in Pennsylvania, Penn State is probably nearby. Penn State campuses offer you: a variety of rural and suburban settings several campuses within a short drive of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other urban areas a large campus setting (University Park campus enrollment is 46,184) and smaller campus settings (enrollments vary from about 700 to more than 4,000) Penn State s largest campus is University Park, with more than 40,000 undergraduates. Penn State s remaining 19 undergraduate campuses, like Penn State Berks, are home to 30,000 Penn State undergraduates. Many Penn State students starting at these campuses will transition to a larger campus, like University Park, after two years to complete their degree. We call this the 2+2 plan and it s the most common path to a Penn State degree. a choice of living on campus, off campus, or commuting from home. The 2+2 Plan As a first-year student, you may choose from among t wenty Penn State campuses to start your education. Many students (about 60 percent in a typical year) spend their first two years at one campus, then transition to another campus to finish their degree. We call it the 2+2 plan. Kristen Holmes started at Penn State Berks, where she discovered her love of sign language and speech therapy. Now a Communication Sciences and Disorders major at University Park, she hopes to become a speech therapist. Her involvement with the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association and the Penn State Sign Language Organization are steps on that path. Kristen also volunteers with Operation Smile and is a member of the Black Student Union and the Student Minority Advisory and Recruitment Team (SMART). A visit is the best way to learn more about any campus. To make arrangements, contact an admissions officer at the campus that interests you. Kristen said she looked for a school with prestige and a lot of school spirit. She found the perfect combination at PEN N S TAT E. I love the school. I love the atmosphere here. 4

Applying to Penn State We strongly encourage you to file a complete application by November 30 of your senior year. Some programs and campuses fill quickly, so it is always to your benefit to apply early. Penn State s admission application is available at admissions.psu.edu. Your application to Penn State allows you to be evaluated for any of our campuses and programs. Entrance difficulty is based partly on demand. The University Park campus is the most competitive location for admission to all programs. ADMISSIONS TIMELINE September 1: Penn State s application for undergraduate admission is available online at admissions.psu.edu. Late October May 1: Admission decisions are made. November 30: Priority application deadline. Students who have submitted a complete application (including a high school transcript and SAT/ ACT scores) by this date have the best chance of receiving their first choice of campus and major. January 1: Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available at fafsa.ed.gov. This is the only form that Penn State requires for financial aid consideration. March 1: Date recommended by Penn State Office of Student Aid for completing the FAFSA. Late March: Financial aid award notifications emailed from the Office of Student Aid.

May 1: National deadline for accepting an offer of admission. 8

More than 2,400 undergraduates study abroad every year in more than 54 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. Admission (summer/fall 2013) First-year bachelor s degree applications: 57,229 First-year bachelor s degree students Universitywide: 15,570 First-year bachelor s degree students at University Park: 8,461 Transfer bachelor s degree applications from other universities: 8,067 Entering transfer bachelor s degree students from other universities Universitywide: 3,349 Entering transfer bachelor s degree students from other universities at University Park: 508 Estimating your eligibility Penn State bases admission decisions on a variety of factors. High school performance accounts for approximately two-thirds of the decision. The remaining one-third is based on other factors, which may include standardized test scores (students taking the ACT are required to complete and submit the writing component), class rank, the personal statement, and activities statement. Class rank is also considered for students with honors or Advanced Placement courses whose schools do not supply a weighted GPA. The optional personal statement and activities statement are sometimes considered for students whose applications require additional review. I can t imagine a better college experience than the one I had at Penn State. The ranges in the chart below represent the middle 50 percent of students offered admission for fall 2013 they are not cutoffs or averages. Placing in the upper end of both ranges increases the likelihood of being offered your first choice of campus and/or major. Placing in the lower end may require you to be more flexible in making your campus (and perhaps major) choices. This chart in no way represents a promise or guarantee of admission.

Rusenko and a few fellow Penn Staters started the website design company as part of a class project. Now Weebly, with more than 3 million users, has been named one of the 50 Best Websites by Time magazine. Rusenko says his Penn State education was an ideal stepping-stone to postcollege life. What I learned in the classroom prepared me with the fundamental skills I needed after graduating, and the skills I learned outside of the classroom prepared me to be the kind of person people would enjoy working with, he says. PENN STATE strikes the perfect balance among great academics, affordable cost, and an amazingly fun time. 9

Applying for financial aid About 79 percent of all Penn State undergraduates receive some form of financial aid. Student Financial Aid (fall 2012, spring/summer 2013) Undergraduate aid recipients: 62,431 Undergraduates receiving aid: 79 percent Total aid awarded to undergraduate students (excludes stipends): $ 950 million Average loan debt of graduating baccalaureate students: $35,639 The first step of the financial aid application process is to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web at fafsa.ed.gov. Penn State s federal school code for the FAFSA is 003329. We recommend that you file your 2014 Federal Income Tax Return prior to submitting your FAFSA and use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, available after February 3, on the FAFSA website. Using the tool will save you time and increase the accuracy of your FAFSA. To receive maximum consideration for student financial aid, including loans, grants, scholarships, and work-study, complete the FAFSA on the Web by March 1. If you submit your FAFSA by March 1, you will receive your Student Aid Award Notification in late March. Instructions on how to access the online award notification will be sent via email to the student (and parent, if the parent email is listed on the FAFSA). The Student Aid Award Notifciation will include the loans, grants, scholarships or work-study you are eligible to receive. In April and beyond, Student Aid Award Notifications are sent out weekly to those who submit their FAFSA after March 1. All students who are offered admission and submit a FAFSA are considered for scholarships awarded by the Office of Student Aid. Some academic colleges, campuses, and other administrative units may require separate applications. Scholarship awarding begins in early spring. You will be notified if you are selected. Visit studentaid.psu.edu to explore Penn State scholarships and the university s financial aid process. Please note: Pennsylvania residents must submit their FAFSA by May 1 in order to be eligible for the Pennsylvania State Grant. The people in financial aid are very nice. I had two problems and they were very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. They don t bounce you to someone else; they take care of it for you. To cover costs, most PENN STATE students and their families use financial strategies that include student and parent loans, grants, student employment, and scholarships. For Marcos Hernandez, starting early and establishing a relationship with Penn State s Office of Student Aid were important steps in his planning. Marcos, a Security and Risk Analysis major, completed several work-study jobs to earn money for books, rent, and other expenses. He also worked with the Office of Student Aid to resolve issues with student loans. It can work. It will take planning, it may take sacrifice, but the high-quality educational experience offered at Penn State is within your reach. 10

For whatever reason, that image stuck with him, and when it came time to apply for college, Alex knew he wanted to consider Penn State. When I actually set foot on campus, I loved the ambiance and atmosphere, he said. I just knew it was where I wanted to be. Alex enrolled in PENN STATE S College of Communications with plans to major in advertising/ public relations. Soon he was involved in THON, performing with No Refund Theatre, volunteering as a tour guide, and a member of the Singing Lions, Penn State s version of Glee. He quickly realized Penn State was about a lot more than squirrels. *Additional estimated costs at ALL CAMPUSES PA Resident and Non-PA Resident Rooms and Meals $10,116 Books and Supplies $1,696 Travel and Personal $4,788 TOTAL $16,600 11
