2023 PSU Waiting for Decisions

@InfiniteWaves hurray!!! Congrats and best wishes
I love the idea of you surprising your son with Penn state gear, sweet!

So, we had the lion image and just got accepted. So, it looks like the lion image isn’t a sign of doom!

Congratulations to those getting acceptances today!

We just got ours also!

S19 was accepted to the engineering school at University Park. Applied 10/17.

Just accepted into the Eberly school of science for biotech, Good luck to everyone!!!

Accepted today after error page all day! Good luck to those still waiting with that error page. Looks like it gets updated real time (not that I’ve been looking every 15 minutes after you all began posting acceptances! ?)

College of Liberal Arts - Political Science

For some reason now two groups (my son included) of accepted get an error message from midnight until later the next day. UP goes Lion and then BOOM they get acceptance later! keep it going!

@amomoffour It’s definitely a glitch in the system. But let’s keep it on the down low and hopefully they wont fix it. :smiley:

Apparently, instead of not sending a “your portal has been updated” email, there is now the “acceptance coming soon lion shrine photo with error message.” :slight_smile:

Got in to college of engineering at UP! I checked the portal around 1 AM and got an error. Checked around 1PM today and my decision was there. good luck to everyone still waiting

At least we know now that if we receive an error message then our decision is in.?

Yippee! My boy got in! PSU is probably his top choice. Thrilled for him!!!

Great news @Lindagaf Congrats!!!

DD got accepted today UP! College of Liberal Arts, Econ. Same glitch earlier today. She applied Sept. 10. Good luck to all!

I want to view the housing and other options just to browse. Is it safe to click “accept your offer” button without 100% committing? I’m still waiting on other applications and I don’t want to accidentally commit to PSU before i receive other acceptances

@hunchojack clicking the “accept your offer” leads to a “thank you for accepting” message, and then provides steps to accept the housing and dining contract. It is s long document with many terms and conditions, which won’t show you what you want to see. Don’t hit the accept button until you are ready to accept. Instead, you can look at the box on your portal that is on the right, entitled “Information for Accepted Students”-the second bullet is “Living on Campus” and opens to a Word Doc with great info and web links to lots of detail with maps and pictures. Don’t forget to look at SLO’s (Special Living Options)
they are interest-based living options that group students together by major/interests/goals. Enjoy the research, and congrats!!

Son was accepted today - Engineering/Comp. Sci. so it looks like the engineering logjam is loosening up a bit.

@Lindagaf : Congratulations! I knew he would!!! :slight_smile: Never doubted. Now won’t he regret not applying to Schreyer? :slight_smile: Don’t forget to check out the Living Learning Communities (called SLOs
) and to post his profile in the Decisions thread.

Had the error message all day. Image change to lion rather than Old Main, but ended up getting in around 1 pm at University Park campus. Do not worry if you get the error message - it means you will receive your decision later that day/soon!

I am worried now because I do not have the Lion and my portal hasn’t changed in months. It keeps saying it is under review and that I have sent all of my materials in that are needed. Very nerve racking.

@Kajaet congrats. Stats pls. Did you get any error messages prior to your decision?
