@ppxyz123 - He had 800/650 (math/EBRW) as his highest single sitting score and 33 Composite ACT. Competitive PA Public HS, his GPA is 4.15w. School doesn’t report rank but est. top 10 -15%. Lots of honors and 6 or 7 APs, mostly in math and sciences.
Decent Extracurricular with Job, long term Ice Hockey, exchange student, etc. but didn’t do NHS, Model UN, or other school based academic clubs.
@Kajaet Thanks for the info. Is it In-state or OOS?
@nittanylion1510 No need to worry. First of all, not everyone’s picture changes. Not everyone gets an error message and then gets a decision (that’s anecdotal and not the norm). It’s not Dec 24 yet. Your application says it’s under review and everything is in. Hang tight. I know it’s nerve wracking, but don’t compare yourself to other applications, timeframes etc…it’s irrelevant.
Is it correct that the portal updates only once per day? Didn’t want to check multiple times if its pointless.
@jlhpsu thank you very much. That is relieving to know.
Yes I am also wondering if the portal has started to update multiple times per day? I heard a few people received decisions at 1 pm.
@ppxyz123, He is in State. I don’t know if the portal changed or went offline because I didn’t look until later yesterday. So it could have and I missed it.
Hoping my portal crashes tonight… I’m so impatient?
My sons portal went down Tuesday night at midnight; ouccchanged to Lion with error message… accepted at 1pm
On Wednesday !!! Sooo excited! Best Christmas present!
Does anyone know how long it takes to receive an actual letter in the mail after the portal is updated?
Just wondering… Thanks!
Did anybody’s portal got updated yesterday and today? My son’s one still says under review.
@2019gradsmom I was accepted on a Wednesday and I received the package in the mail the following Monday!! So it took a little less than a week for me!
D was finally accepted last night! PA resident from public school that sends a lot of kids to PSU. She applied in August. Applied to CAS with solid scores and above average GPA
@am2727 Great, thank you!
Im getting super anxious! Congrats to all who made it in!!
1: yes
2: only if you applied to Schreyer and are admitted. However you can root through the College of Engineering website and look for scholarships the college offers.
@MYOS1634 thank you. She applied to Schreyer recently before the deadline, Hopefully she will hear back shortly with a decision.
Is there a possibility that we could get a decision over the weekend? Just curious 
Our twin girls just got theirs via the portal at 12:01 am today.
@burbs20 I saw your post in the other dicussion. Did you twins put summer session as their first choice or were they given summer? I have similar stats and I’m just curious.
