Seniors, Apply NOW to Penn State

We are hearing seniors say, "Oh, it's early! I'll do my applications later." WRONG! As a general rule, the earlier you apply, the better your chances of acceptance. You don't have to apply "early decision" in order to simply submit your application early. Criteria get more stringent as the number of available spots decreases. This is particularly the case with Penn State branch campuses (like Altoona), where housing is at a premium, and there isn't enough for every freshman. So listen up! The earlier you apply, the better your chances of acceptance! DON'T PUT IT OFF! Come see your counselor if you need help throughout the process.

Anyone interested in joining a branch of the military, regardless of grade level, should be aware that we are giving the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) next Tuesday (the 22nd). Recruiters from the National Guard, Marines, Army, and Navy are scheduled to be here on that morning to help out. This is a GREAT time to meet a recruiter and get started in that process. See someone in the G.O. (that's Guidance Office), and we can connect you with the recruiter (s) of your choice on Tuesday.
