<p>I just got this message on my PSU account. </p>
<p>"Status: Your application has been received and is being reviewed. Thank you for applying to Penn State."</p>
<p>I have sent in my application online and my transcript, but NOT my test scores yet, I haven't them because I want to do better on the ACT in October. Are they going to start basing a decision without my ACT grades or what?</p>
<p>Sounds to me like they think they have test scores already. If they hadn't, the message would say they don't have your test scores yet. I'd call them.</p>
<p>The day after my son submitted his app, his application status displayed the same message as you got. The next day it said that his transcripts had not been received. Their system probably displays that message about your app being received automatically after it is submitted and then when they try to put the put the whole package together they change the status to show what may be missing.</p>
