Hi guys. So I applied to Penn State UP a while ago. I have the portal set up and all. All of the necessary materials like ACT score and payment were completed. But my self-reported grades status is marked as “received” and not “completed.”
Then it says “Penn State is currently receiving a high volume of supporting application materials. Supporting application materials are being processed and recorded on the date received. Please check your MyPennState profile regularly for updates to your checklist items. Once your checklist items are complete we will begin a review of your application.” Why haven’t they been able to start my review yet? I am not sure what do to do get it to switch from received to complete for the grades??
Because they get 65,000+ applications. Such is life at a big school. You won’t get an answer likely until January as that is when most of the decisions are released. Some will find out earlier but most won’t.
Its all good. What you see is what many of us have seen for a month. Admissions confirms that is normal.
