I’m getting a different message now:
There are errors on this form. Please review and correct:
and now its back up
Logged into portal just now. Everything was working as normal for me and my status was still the same (under review). If only I knew Smeal was so competitive, we’ll see what happens in the coming days though.
I’ve been waiting since October but I accidentally applied to the world campus (online) instead of UP and I called to change it to UP on Nov 12. I had already submitted everything before 11/1. I’m applying Political Science at the College of Liberal Arts. Sat:1210 Act:28 lots of ec. OOS. Hoping to get in… I’ve been checking everyday this month.
Portal back up and running as usual, glad I don’t get hopes up anymore… DD QQS EA
Penn State’s website does say this “Admission into Smeal is highly selective.”
@gmancc , @greencarrot01 ymy portal is up and running again now too fwiw 
Hope decisions are being loaded at such a high number that server is working hard
And that at midnight tonight we get a big wave for us all
As the days wind down, end is near ???
@pama3115 hi. So far portal has been updating with status change once per day
At midnight
So people report decisions at different times depending on when they check portal
But consensus seems once daily at midnight
Have read here that as deadline draws near in past multiple updates had happened
But remains to be seen for this year
As 12/24 is the first decision deadline for EA
Good luck !
Hi, I get the following message under my application status:
"Your application materials are being verified. Any additional application materials required to complete your application will be added to your Application Checklist during the verification process.
We will update this message when our review of your supporting materials is complete."
Does anyone else get this message? Any idea what it means? I have applied EA.
@aggiehope123 that’s the message we got when we first applied
Before all items on checklist were verified
After a time, status changed to all materials received , application under review, when decision made it will be seen here
Was your application status “under review” early action
and now the status has changed to being verified?
Hi Everyone, I applied in August and finally got my decision today!! I am going to UP Summer Session DUS. I have a 1200 SAT and a 3.55 GPA, so for those with lower stats it’s all good!
@nittanylion1510 hurray!!! Congrats!!! I know you have been anxious so long and I’m so glad you got in!!!
Congrats @nittanylion1510 I am curious. Did you just login now and find out or did your Portal change from this morning? Thank you!
@nittanylion1510 Congratulations! Please post your good news on the Decisions Thread, if you haven’t already.
@nittanylion1510 congrats! We are waiting same amount of time and still have not heard. What state are you from?
@off2co11ege I heard through some people in my classes that people had heard, so I went and checked. I was thinking I would open the portal and I would have to click on a button to get the decision but I opened it and the letter was right there so be aware of that. @sammomof2 I am from Massachusetts. @STEM2017 I will. can I have the link please??
@ziveli513 thank you
@ziveli513 Thanks for the reply. All items on my checklist are have the blue checkmark. I don’t remember if there was a different message earlier but I think my application was marked as complete. I didn’t check the portal for a long time after all items on the checklist had the checkmark. I noticed the current message when I logged in recently.
