I lurk around reddit sometimes and just read that a student got an acceptance today! So it looks like PSU is still sending out decisions! Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Was that an email? Weird! My son got his last week. Iāll ask him.
Yes - an email that just came in this morning.
Iām regretting submitting my sonās SAT score now. He got 1420, which is on the low end for CS.
Trust me its not. My Son got his acceptance OOS couple weeks back with much lower SAT. (1320) w/ 4.0 GPA for OOS. He applied for CS and he was accepted at UP for summer start (which is what he selected)
Good luck. .you will be fine.
Never mind, I solved the mystery. It was a donor/member envelope. Makes sense that this was by mistake and nice of them to send out this correction.

Do we know when decisions are being released for OOS priority students? Iāve been reading that people have been getting decisions, and I havenāt gotten anything back yet :((
I filed October 31st and did my SRARs a few days after
You should reach out to admissions right away to make sure you are in the EA batch or if you will be hearing in January. Scroll up in this thread to see others describe their experiences on this topic. Good luck!
Do you know the email of the admissions office? Thank you for the help!!

We were in a similar situation. My son filed the application on 10/31 and the SRAR and test scores were completed a few days later. We thought we were in the batch of EA applicants and didnāt realize until a couple days ago that the lag completing the SRAR and submitting the test scores caused us to miss the deadline. When I went to the website, it was very clear that the application and all supplemental material (SRAR, test scores if applicable) must be submitted by 11/1 to be considered for EA. My son completely missed that (as did I) and thought the application alone would satisfy the requirement.
I had a friend call today as well and her srar didnāt make the cut eitherā¦glad I saw that this happened or she would still be checking

Merry Christmas Eveā¦I guess Dec 24th wasnāt a hard date for decisionsā¦looks like admissions office is closed til January so I guess we wonāt hear
Happy holidays! For those who have already heard and been accepted, has anyone received the Provost award or received a āFor the Gloryā event invite? The website says Provost is awarded on a rolling basis and in years past the For the Glory emails went out as early as late December. Thank you.
I applied EA in October. My application is still under review. It says decisions would be made by 12/24. Is this happening to anyone else?

Still waiting too. I applied for Engineering. I though 12/24 was a hard date for EA applicants.

We thought we applied EA and would have a decision by 12/24, but because the SRAR and test results were not also received by 11/1, we got bounced to regular decision and will have a decision by 1/31 instead. I had no idea until I emailed admissions last week since we still hadnāt heard anything. Is it possible the same thing happened to you? Thatās the only thing I can think of since, as you pointed out, EA decisions were to be issued by yesterday. Good luck and I hope you hear something positive soon.
