<p>I see that there has been many that have gotten accepted but it seems it’s the students with really high SAT and ACT scores. So I guess you never know when you will get your decision.</p>
<p>Mine still says they need my transcripts, but my high school says they sent them a couple weeks ago. How often do they update the My Penn State website? Should I contact someone?</p>
<p>It took them just over a week to get transcripts entered from when my D’s HS sent them</p>
<p>I would look into it if they haven’t gotten them sent weeks ago. It took about a week for things sent from home (NC) to get received in University Park during busy season. I always insisted on getting the schools to give me the transcripts sealed so I could send them myself so I know that they left.</p>
<p>Yeah Etuck is correct. Even I did the same. You can ensure that they reach in time of u get them sealed and courier them personally. By the way I applied last week of October and mine doesnt even say reviewing credentials, it says, we have received all your documents please continue to check the status.</p>
<p>Sent app in at beginning of October. Just got this email today. Is this a bad sign?.."Thank you for applying to Penn State! We have received all the required documents for your application and it is currently under review. Your application was complete by November 30 so you are guaranteed to receive your admission decision by January 31.</p>
<p>Penn State’s review of applications does not occur in the order they were received, so although some decisions will start going out before January 31, the vast majority will be released in late January. You will receive notification of the decision both in MyPennState and in the mail."</p>
<p>My daughter received the same email today. I was also wondering if it was a bad sign…???</p>
<p>It seems that they e-mailed that to everyone yesterday. I don’t think it means anything though.</p>
<p>My son receieved the same email. I think it is a routine email. They must have thousands of applications waiting for review. Maybe its just away of keeping an open line of communication.</p>
<p>They didnt send that last year to us, however I assume thats to try and kill off some phone calls from students wondering why X friend heard back if he applied before X friend.</p>
<p>my son applied end of September and still has not heard…96 overall average all AP and honors lots of college classes great extra curricular resume. ACT’s = 29. Classmates with similar stats heard this week…so stressful…any feedback???</p>
<p>I had caleed the admissions office. They said that the applications do not go under review date wise. So a person who applied in November may hear back while the one who applied in august may still be under review.!</p>
<p>That email is just confirmation that you’ve applied, it is not a bad sign at all.</p>
<p>Yes. I was accepted to the nursing program on 11/11/13 and i applied on 10/30/13</p>
<p>I applied on November 27ish, and I just received my acceptance to PSU! Can’t wait to see all you guys! Good luck!</p>
<p>Hi everyone, just wondering all the applicants that heard back right away were your scores really high??</p>
<p>They only accept students for branch campuses, internationals, and highly qualified candidates (2200+ SAT or similar) before the end of December.</p>
<p>I’m waiting here with a 1960 composite SAT and decent grades and I will probably need to wait until at least January for a decision, but i’m fairly confident that I will get in as I have a friend attending right now who also got into the engineering college with a lower SAT and lower grades last year on January 21st.</p>
<p>When they say that they don’t review applications in the order that they are recieved and that you’ll get a decision by Jan 31st, they mean it!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for this info! My sons application was complete on Oct 20th and they have been reviewing now for over a month. Seeing all the acceptances 2 weeks after they have applied is a little overwhelming, as this is his first choice. With your stats I’m sure you will be getting your acceptance soon!! Good Luck!!!</p>
<p>it says i’ll have a decision in the coming days. so this means i was rejected or? my sat scores were nowhere near that…</p>
<p>It means you will recieve a decision in 3 to 4 days</p>
