Has anyone received an acceptance to Smeal Business School. Worried we should have just applied as undecided. I did not realize how competitive it is.

Same here, I asked my son if he wanted to change to DUS but he said he would just take his chance

Any ideas on what days of the week decisions are posted? Or could be any day?

Hi, what is a TO button?

test optional. There’s an option on the profile to change your original answer. Seems that option goes away when Admissions is reviewing.

Congratulations! :smiley:
May I ask, when did you apply? Thanks.

He applied 10/16. He wrote a very specific personal statement about why he thought he was a good fit for this particular program at PSU, not sure if this helped. He also attached his Common App essay (which I don’t believe they read).
