How much longer do I have to keep waiting?

<p>I applied to Penn State on September 1st (it's my top choice). For almost 2 months now it has said something along the line of "We are reviewing your credentials, a decisions will be posted...". When will I actually hear back?</p>

<p>ACT: 29
GPA: 3.1W
Rank: N/A
School: Private/Catholic
Out of State (NY)
13 total AP/Honors classes
Lots of solid ECs</p>

<p>I'm hearing that borderline stats have to wait, but if I applied two months before a kid with a 4.0 applied, shouldn't I hear back first considering it's "rolling"? It's annoying to wait for this long when some people who applied in late November already heard back.</p>

<p>Unfortunately Penn State doesn’t work on a first in, first out process. All they guarantee is that if you apply by Nov 30, you will hear by Jan 31st. That’s it. My D applied Sept 2 and has had same status for over 3 months. So we feel your pain. But it is what it is… another month or do to wait at most! There is light at the end of the tunnel!</p>
