How much longer will I stare at this status?!

<p>i am in the same situation. i applied for smeal and itve been waiting since mid october. i called and said the only reason i havent heard is because they dont seriously start looking at smeal majors til about now. she also said i shouldnt have a problem getting in and i have a 3.96 W and 1850 sat so im still waiting too! :)</p>

<p>Same situation for me… from NY and applied to Smeal. I applied early Nov. with a 1850 and a 90 gpa. I hope i hear soon but im guessing late december…</p>

<p>I have a 3.23 GPA with a huge upward trend to go along with a 1930 SAT…I hope they consider for overall undecided entry to PSU before they do it for your major, because I’m not confident in my GPA.</p>

<p>@StrictlySB I had the same problem. I applied to the Eberly Colege of Science and they told me that I did not meet the high school requirements. I had only taken three years of math but I needed four for my intended college. </p>

<p>SO I emailed the admissions office teling them that I changed my schedule and took calculus. To verify they asked me to send in a new transcript and the matter was resolved in less than a week. I have block scheduling so I can still change my schedule until march if I really need to.So this worked perfectly for me.</p>

<p>ou may not be so lucky. If you find that you can’t add another math course to your schedlule and send out a new transcript then you still must email the admissions office. Tell them that you would like to change your intedned major to DUS or Division of Undergraduate Studies and you’ll be fine. But if you don’t make that switch then you may just be denied right away.</p>

<p>So try to find exactly what you need to take. I believe you need another math because I too had only taken three years. If it’s too late to change you class then change your major. I was told that you can always transfer into the college of your choice after your accepted and meet the requirements so really it’s not hair off your back any way you slice it.</p>

<p>is it pathetic that i’m proud to be the starter of this thread with 200+ posts strong? haahhahaha
but seriously…i’m still staring at the same status if anyone is wondering…</p>

<p>Has anyone that has applied undecided heard back yet?</p>

<p>@11scmetz ROFL I like to think of myself as a founding father. As the second poster I helped keep this thread alive. And just like you…I’m still waiting on a decision.</p>

<p>@matt Read this thread. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1016986-class-2015-results-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1016986-class-2015-results-thread.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There are people who’ve been accepted as undecided. For Penn State its call DUS or Division of Undergraduate Studies.</p>

<p>I know that PSU says on its website that it updates its system before 8 am each day, but has anyone seen there status change later in the day, but before the next day (I just want to figure out whether I just need to check at 8 am and then forget about it until the next day, or whether it’s worth checking again later in the day)?</p>

<p>lionlover … i have a 4.68 weighted gpa on a 6.0 on scale? what is your scale on? i got an 1850 on my SATs so i am around the same as you … my school doesn’t send my unweighted GPA lol and i applied to smeal as well! feels like i’ve been waiting forever!</p>

<p>Ugh. No updates. I called PSU to find out when Smeal is sending out letters and the admissions officer tried to tell me that they accept people “without rhyme or reason.” I don’t buy that. I think that they must accept the best and the brightest first. Right? I just want to know if I’m in or not!!!</p>

<p>grrrrrrrr im like second guessing why i applied business. two of my friends who applied undecided got in today. it seems like everyone else is waiting for either smeal or nursing. everyones telling me my status will change sometime over the next two weeks…i wish i could believe them!</p>

<p>winniiie: my GPA is on a 5.0 scale. so it looks like your about the same as me.</p>

<p>question: if I applied today…didnt know I was going to until this week, but I know I missed the “priority deadline”. Whats the deal? Can I still be accepted, or are my chances greatly diminished, or now not available? My status on mypennstate says “we received your application…” etc. Any advice?</p>

<p>fingascrossed: are you sure you meant to say that the DONT accept people “without rhyme or reason”?</p>

<p>The fact that you applied today won’t really diminish your chances. Now had you applied in march, that would be another story. The priority deadline just means you’ll get an decision a lot sooner that you would had you applied after the deadline.</p>

<p>well thats a relief. It doesn’t really matter when I get the decision, just as long as I get one! Thanks</p>

<p>My friend applied on November 30th, and he got accepted today. -___-</p>

<p>Still waiting… It has been 1 month and 9 days
I’ve visited the campus and it’s one of the most beautiful ones I’ve seen. Although the freshman dorms are the smallest out of all my colleges… well there are like 35,000 students… so oh well</p>

<p>So i made a post a few days ago after how requirements werent met for the major i originally put. I called the school just a few minutes ago and asked to change my major to Undecided. The guy asked for my info etc to prove it’s not a fake person and then told me it was all set. However, I checked the website and status is still the same as when my major was Accounting. Is it because they didn’t update the site yet?</p>

<p>And he told me i should get a decision in 7-12 business days
Do you guys know if I should personally go on the site to check everyday or will they send me a letter?</p>
