How much longer will I stare at this status?!

<p>i finally got accepted!!! my online status is still the ‘coming days’ one but i got my acceptance letter in the mail today!!! i have been waiting since the first week of october!!! I am so happy! my major i undecided … good luck to everyone!!!</p>

<p>Got “coming days” last night woooooo…</p>

<p>i hate this wait… this wait is ridiculous, such a turn off for the school for me.</p>

<p>winnniiee What are your stats if you don’t mind me asking?</p>

<p>Hi, i have a question bout what exactly they will look at for UP. My 1st quarter grades were amazing so i figured i would send them in as well, but when i called admissions last week about when i could expect a decision they said they wont even look at senior year stuff. has anyone else heard this? i find it kind of hard to believe that they actually dont even consider what ive done this year. idk, i got the coming days status yesterday so i figure i will know on monday and the decision has already been made, but i was just worrying over the fact that i feel like i wasted my time this whole senior year.</p>

<p>I know what you mean RGinphilly, I took almost all APs this year because I thought it would help. I hope they at least take into consideration the rigor of senior year courses even if they don’t look at the grades.</p>

<p>i completely agree!</p>

<p>yeah cause on the app they had you list your planned courses, i just think it would be nice if they could look and see how well you are doing in these planned courses. im still excited though, ive been waiting since the end of september!</p>

<p>my two cents, the rep who came to my son’s school said that they absolutely don’t look at senior year. Also, he called two days ago to ask if they wanted his mid-year grades and they said, “no we don’t want that” seriously.</p>

<p>They also don’t look at recommendations. One of mine was misplaced and I called and they said “you can send it, but honestly we don’t look at them and don’t even include them in the review package.” I was so surprised I called again and spoke to a different person, but got the exact same answer. The bottom line is I think PSU is as much a “numbers school” as almost any school in the country. As they say on their website - it’s 2/3 GPA and 1/3 standardized test scores. Although they may look at extracurriculars, I don’t think it weighs that much into the decision.</p>

<p>Could you imagine how long it would take to get a decision of they considered lor’s and ECs more heavily? 100,000 apps plus ~200,000 letters, and everyone’s life story? No, way too much.</p>

<p>Hey! My weighted GPA was a 4.63 on a 6.0 scale and my unweighted was a 3.45 … although at my school since they send PSU everything over the internet they do not sent them our unweighted GPAs, just the weighted. My SATS were ok … 1810 overall … 630 on math, 530 on reading, and 650 on writing!</p>

<p>Hope you hear soon! i know how you guys feel … waiting since the beginning of October is so hard!</p>

<p>@winnie - congrats!!! and how does your gpa correlate on the 4.0 scale, i think my stats are pretty similar to yours but i don’t really understand the whole 6.0 scale so i might be wrong. thanks!</p>

<p>It is so aggravating that there are very few Smeal School of Business acceptances at this point. I am tired of waiting. I NEED to know that I got in! They only have eight more days (not including today) to let me know. I am very worried that my status has remained the same since November 14th. It would be so much more convenient if PSU had been on top of things and had the bulk of their acceptances sent out.</p>

<p>It’s not that they aren’t on top of things, it’s that they have to go through 100000+ apps.</p>

<p>It is clear that they have made decisions and are not releasing some of them… over half the applicants have not received decisions and i doubt they are going to make all those decisions in 8 days… i just cant understand why they wont release the decisions…</p>

<p>woooooooow accepted!
