<p>Are students notified by email, snail mail or online? If online, are they sent an email telling them to log in and check their status?</p>
<p>Decisions are posted online. You don’t get an e-mail alert, so you just need to keep checking. Shortly thereafter, you’ll get an official acceptance via snail mail.</p>
<p>Thank you for the prompt reply!</p>
<p>Some decisions are going up now!</p>
<p>I actually found out last year by the ‘big white envelope’ in the mail (which doesn’t mean you’ve gotten into UP-everyone gets the big white envelope I think) before it was posted online.</p>
<p>big white envelope as in penn state sending out generic mail bragging about how great they are? lol</p>
<p>as in his acceptance letter came in a big white envelope (sorry in advance if your post was supposed to be sarcastic).</p>
<p>No, actually my ‘rejection’ letter came in a big, thick white envelope. It said I was welcome to come to Penn State–at any other campus besides University Park haha. The brochures go into their wonderful 2+2 program. </p>
<p>I eventually appealed my decision and am now a very happy freshman in Happy Valley!!!</p>
