First-year
Penn State defines first-year students as students who are applying to the University and who are currently still in high school. A first-year student may also be a person who has graduated from high school or who has earned a GED and who has not completed more than 17 college level credits after high school.
Additional Information
"Not every college gives undergraduate students the opportunity for thesis research; being able to do that definitely differentiates me from my friends and gives me an edge."
