peace to all, good luck, sorry to see another worried smeal applicant
@cwcpsu Hope it ends well!
Still down for us, says āSorry, we are unable to retrieve your application details. Logout and try again in a few minutes. We are working to resolve the issue.ā Anyone else?
Not down over here. In a shocking turn of events, S19ās application is still under review. 
@amomoffour my portal is working. Sorry yours isnāt!
Btw my d doesnāt check portal
She would like to get any news in the postal mail lol
Iām the obsessive portal checker. 
@ziveli513 it takes quite awhile to get it in the mail, my other two sons got portal announcement long before the mailer I think they are having issues w/release of information at midnight as it was right at midnight when it went down. Still down on my sons.
@jlhpsu @lucyvanpelt my spouse of 25 years is a penn state up alum
My childrenās godparents are penn state up alums
Our oldest and closest friends were my spouses roommates at Penn state main campus
For 25 years we have attended football games, and my d has grown up penn state proud and pa proud
My d has been raising money here in pa since elementary school that goes āfor the kidsā, and now in high school she serves proudly on the mini THON committee.
Last year she was the 10th highest fund raiser at her mini thon overnight event out of a school of 2400 kids
I know PSU is a big school and what that means to students, I also went to a big school iOS
I have always viewed penn state as first class and honorable, admirable through thick and thin
Thatās why my pa d applied to eagerly penn state first week of August
Her stats give her a very reasonable expectation to be accepted at university park
She has no idea that Iām frustrated with the application process, I wouldnāt share that with her
She was accepted quickly at Pitt as a science pre-major, followed shortly by the Ohio state university also as a science pre major
But her heart is at penn state, Iām hoping she will get the chance to choose it if thatās her best fit
So yes Iām frustrated, I had high expectations of getting an answer before applicants who applied in October and even November!
Wasnāt promised an answer, I know I know
I also learned so much from this forum that we decided a few weeks ago to change her major to DUS, admissions updated her application almost instantly and confirmed she was still early action, has been under review still since
So we wait. Here in the waiting fir decisions group where so many have also expressed frustration
Donāt like any of my posts? Just scroll past it. No one forces you to read it
But donāt try to shut down differences of opinion, moderators have let stand comments critical of penn state processes
@amomoffour. Oh I hope that means your portal is being updated with a decision!!!
Mine is working fine and has no change
So maybe you are in luck!!! Hope so!!!
@amomoffour My sonās has been down since midnight as well.
just checked, PSU Portal workig fine here in NJ (VZ FIOS if that makes any difference whatsoever)
Hope a ābusy Portalā is good news for ya!
@mamawitch fingers crossed for u!!!
My daughters portal is down as well and we have Verizon. Weird that some people have access and others donāt?? Guessing it will be down until Monday bc nothing is done on the weekend correct?
Thatās exactly what I was thinking @tjapsu
ACCEPTED! Son just got accepted, after error message since midnight!
I am still under review as well but at least we should hear some sort of decision this month. Also according to the decisions thread Iāve noticed some people getting acceptances on Saturdays so maybe they update on weekends as well.
Congrats @amomoffour ! Please post his stats in the decision thread so that people can follow along!
@amomoffour Congrats!! Prior to getting the acceptance did it say:
Sorry, we are unable to retrieve your application details. Logout and try again in a few minutes. We are working to resolve the issue.
Just got accepted into Smeal! I also had an error message on my portal earlier today, but now it displays the acceptance message.
Ok guys.My D just got accepted for Fall at UP. You all know before her! See above and you will see the message she had on the portal before the acceptance. Btw, her stats fall in the mid 50% of what they publish for UP. School of Communications:)
@collegegirl2023 The admissions staff works on Friday. As the system updates that day at midnight, decisions can arrive on Saturday. My assumption is that decisions do not come out on Sunday or Monday as the staff is not back in until Monday. This would mean that the next update will be Tuesday (or Monday midnight).
Congrats to those who received acceptances! PSU, keep 'em coming!
@citimama9 yes! Thatās exactly what it said!
