How much longer will I stare at this status?!

<p>I’d consider myself average, but I’ve already been accepted.</p>

<p>lucky … what’re your stats??</p>

<p>4.0 w gpa 1760 sat 27 act</p>

<p>I sent my application in September 14 and was received September 30th and still no answer. Anyone hear back from school of nursing? Does this particular college take longer to hear back?</p>

<p>I don’t think a 4.00 is average…</p>

<p>psufan is applying to honors college so yeah definitely not “average”</p>

<p>thats weighted</p>

<p>My son was accepted this morning to the College of Engineering for Fall. His status changed yesterday to “…a decision will be posted in the coming days”. He had his application and all material completed on October12. His gpa uw=3.7, w=4.97, SAT CR+MA=1430, rank 5%, 7 APs thru junior year, we are in Florida.
He still sleeping… I can’t wait to see is face when he finds out…he didn’t expect a result until thanksgiving.
Good luck to all of you!!!</p>

<p>For some reason, my status is different. Is something wrong?</p>

<p>“We have received your application; we may require additional information. If so, we will be contacting you by email or letter.”</p>

<p>I don’t recall anyone posting this status. Maybe its because you are an international applicant, as I recall from your posting on the Pitt forum.</p>

That’s what I thought. I called them and they said that they have everything they need, that my file is under review and I should expect to get a decision from today to January 1st. :)</p>

<p>My daughter was accepted this morning also! Got the “coming days” message yesterday and the acceptance today! Also School of Engineering - University Park. Hoping for Architectural Engineering when the time comes. </p>

<p>She was ecstactic - nearly knocked me over. Tuesday was her 18th birthday, so a belated birthday present. No mail today so she wont get the letter yet.</p>

<p>4.2 WGPA
1910 SATs
29 ACT
top 5% class rank.
OOS - Mass.</p>

<p>I can’t stop smiling.</p>

<p>My daughter applied early in September, History and Policital Science, and all of her high school transcripts made it to Penn State by the end of September. We received the “coming days” status in early October, then it changed to “all of your credentials are here” status in mid October and has been that way ever since. </p>

<p>Does the status order matter?? We’re anxious about a decision.</p>

<p>“Does the status order matter?? We’re anxious about a decision.”</p>

<p>From the responses in this thread, it sounds like after all your stuff is in it goes to the “credentials” status. then after that to the “…an admission decision will be posted here in the coming days”. and then a few days after that you get the decision.</p>

<p>anyone hear back from the nursing program yet?</p>

<p>For my daughter it says “Your application is complete, all of your required materials are here, and we are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made” and it has said that for weeks. I assume that will change when they get closer to a decision, but I have another question. When she applied, she checked that she would be willing to go to the summer program and we’re wondering whether there is anyone who has been accepted yet, but just to the summer program, and if so, what did it say online?</p>

<p>Good question RM Skol^ that would give a little heads up to is they’re “cherry picking” obvious choices first or doing it chronologically…hmmmmm</p>

<p>My gut tells me they are letting the “clear” admits know first. My daughter’s GPA is fine (3.62 in a standard 4.0 system with an extra .5 for honors so you can get a bit over a 4.0) and it’s from a very competitive HS, but her ACT is a bit on the lower side. Her cousin, who also goes to the same HS and applied at the same time as my daughter, but has a little higher GPA and a much higher SAT saw his acceptance online a few days ago, and a friend of hers at another school who had Penn State as a safety has also heard. This would lead me to believe that they are doing the “slam dunks” first, although that’s the only evidence I have. That’s why I’d be interested to hear from someone who was only admitted for the summer session, if there is anyone.</p>

<p>my gpa is a 95 weighted and my act is a 28. sat 1240 (CR/MATH)- still waiting for an answer.</p>

<p>confused–what school/major did you apply to and when?</p>
