No. I do not work in the undergraduate admissions office. When I said "we" I meant as a community. I mean that Penn State does not allow people like this guy into our school. Considering I graduated from there three different times, I consider it to be a big part of who I am. Because I spent so much time (and money) there, I said "we" to mean my school, my fellow Penn Staters and me.

That's one thing I hate about my school... they let everyone and their mother in just for statistics and money, but only about a 4th of every freshman class actually graduates from here and a smaller percentage than that actually stick with their major(s) the whole way through. One of my roommates my Freshman year was one of the DUMBEST individuals I've ever met in my life AND he had a criminal record! He started in the bottom level of every core class here. If you apply to college not knowing how to form one proper sentence, no school of any prestige should let you in.
The degree I'll be getting from my school is beyond excellent, but the fact that they let in people with a 3rd grade education irks me.

Commendable. It's unusual that a university's admissions policy would be directly influenced by current students and alumni.

A bit, yeah.
But at the same time, it wouldn't surprise me if he weren't. He flounced, though, and trolls usually don't, right?
