Class of 2025 Admissions DISCUSSION

I got in !!!

I applied 10/13 TO

congrats !

Congrats !! Can you share your stats/major ?

This is also my second time around and I too was a wreck the first time as well waiting for my 2018 HS graduate to hear (but I didn’t become an amazing resource for his or my alma mater on CC - so I and so many remain ever grateful! :slight_smile: 3 years later, seeing how all those kids are faring, I agree it all works out (even for those kids who ended up switching schools for a better fit). There is a great school out there for everyone and while it all feels so heavy and excruciating now during the wait, the dust will settle and every kid waiting here will be off to a great new adventure somewhere!

Oh, and just to weigh in on the test optional button theory, the button did disappear at some point during the day and he was accepted at midnight that day! Good luck to all!

3.4 OOS TO
3 AP classes / 5 DE - rest were honors
Accepted University Park - DUS

What does ‘TO’ mean? I see many people talking about the TO button. Thanks!

it has been an indication that decisions are coming out (as of last night). I feel like I have one coming but the website is still glitching for me.

I hope so! i have seen like no psych majorsw acceptances yet ahhhh

Congratulations :slight_smile: Very happy that the wait is over… and wasn’t as long as the first one!

I wonder what I means if my TO button is still blue but SRAR is now grey. Also, has anyone heard their decision from the College of Agricultural Sciences?

I got accepted for psych on the 16th, I promise it’s coming!

Also in general, I have heard some schools take longer than others to release. Liberal arts happens to be a longer one. I applied August 1st, and I didn’t hear until Dec 16th. I thought I would never hear, but I promise you will hear soon:)

Did anyone get accepted to Smeal? DD still waiting. We received the letter about the wait being almost over yesterday. Maybe it’ll happen tonight.

Our button for TO was Blue, our SRAR was Grey yesterday just like yours. Then at around 6pm, the TO button disappeared altogether, then at midnight acceptance.

Thanks!!! It was almost as long, but since I didn’t stress about it this time it didn’t seem so, lol! She accepted yesterday so WE ARE…Penn State (again) :smile:

He was an athletic training major at the time. He ended up switching majors after a semester in AT at UP campus because otherwise he’d have failed out! Like I said, UP classes are NO JOKE - especially in the STEM majors. He’s graduating with a Telecommunications degree in May and he’s had amazing internships and opportunities so it’s been a good change for him.
