STEP 2) THE APPLICATION
We strongly recommend that future Penn State students complete their applications online. To do so, you will need to create a My Admissions account. My Admissions will take you through the Admissions process step by step. With My Admissions you can get application information, fill out your application online, print a paper application, receive customized messages and reminders, and check the status of your application. You can work on the online application and save it, then retrieve it at a later time for revision, completion, and/or submission.
To create a My Admissions account, go to http://www.psu.edu/admissions/ and click the "Sign Up" link on the right-hand side of the page. (Note: Make sure to remember your My Admissions user ID and password! Your application is linked to this account.)
To log into your My Admissions account, go to http://www.psu.edu/admissions/ and click the "Log In" link on the right-hand side of the page.
To print a paper application form, log into My Admissions and click the "Apply via Paper" link on the right-hand side of the page.

- Official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended and AP scores, if applicable

Your application will be complete after all of these materials are received.
