Now my portal is back to what it was. Crazy!!
Itās infirmative to also see the PSU group on FB, it went from acceptances to āaccepted for summerā posts. Itās a closed group but thereās is common theme. Again wishing you all well!
@amomoffour What is the name of the group on Facebook? Thanks!
The Facebook page is penn state class of 2023 itās only open to admitted students
So on that note it seems that some people are getting in for Summer rather than Fall now.

My sonās error message with the Lion turned to a Fall 2019 acceptance to UP this morning with picture back to Old Main.
We got the same email as everyone else however if you follow the link to visit the page they added a lot of information about EA. This one question I read stood out. I believe that my daughter will be one of them we applied early Aug and we applied to COE.
Why did you advertise a decision date by December 24 if you could not deliver a decision to all Early Action applicants by that date?
Like many of our peers, Penn State does consider a deferred decision a decision. Essentially, we promised to take action on all early action applications by December 24. Unfortunately, due to the high number of applications, and a need to further review your application in the context of all applicants, we were not able to admit or deny all applicants by December 24. This additional time will allow us to do further analysis on your application to ensure that we provide each student with the greatest opportunity for admission
file this under the āstranger thingsā categoryā¦ DDās PSU portal admissions status has reverted back to the usual/old one:
Application Status (now):
Your application is currently under review. We have received everything required to complete your application. Once a decision is made, it will be posted here.
After being changed for 8 hours from 2:45 pm yesterday (Fri. 12/14) to:
Your application has been updated. Please check back soon for a status update.
Jeeze, canāt PSU just get it done and over with ! 
Thatās so weird, we didnāt get any emails. The only thing we got was the postcard saying that EA decisions will be made by 12/24
We got a post card also. We recieved the email yesterday afternoon to us not our daughter.
No postcard here, just the wording change for 10 hours in the PSU portal.
At this point any decision is better than waiting as weād like to move on but I understand the process is wgat it is.
PSU like many other colleges this year where totally caught off guard be the flood of EAs applications. Iād bet that in a few years EA becomes defacto the new RD and the rat-race for those applying then just got a little bit harder .
@Psu2023dad I got the same as you just a postcard and no email. What happens if I just have an Old Main picture and no Nittany Lion, is that a sign?? @GmanCC
I am still under review with no email. After checking the Penn State Early Action website it appears that we should be informed if we are deferred to Regular Decision instead of Early Action somehow. This upcoming week is the last week until the Early Action deadline so we have to hear some type of decision this week. I (like many others on this thread) would just like to hear from Penn State already.?
@nittanylion1510 , no clue. I am giving up on reading the tea leaves and or any other changes in portal signs
I think the difference in the 25-50% scores are because of two factors:
- 1250-1430 is reported for admitted students. The lower numbers EB(580-660) and M(580-680) are for enrolled students.
- The second set of numbers are reported for individual sections and may not be added directly. I mean the lowest score of each section may not belong to the same student. Same goes for the upper range. So EB(580-660) and M(580-680) may not mean SAT 1160-1340.
Have all fall decisions been made, and have they moved onto summer?
@jk1423 They havenāt even gotten to regular decisions yet, so no. Summer admits will be all the way until the deadlines as will fall admits
Ugh. All the time and effort and money that went into sending emails and postcards might have been spent on reviewing our applications?
My d submitted in August
Oh well. Eventualllllllllly we will have an answer
Has anyone thatās applied to the college of education at UP heard yet?
