It’s funny that it’s mostly just overqualified applicants posting their decision here.

Overqualified kids are the only ones who would receive a decision this early. It’s an admissions tactic to woo the kids with high stats. Admit them early and if there are fewer schools competing for their attention, kids will consider them more closely. Love the schools that love you back.

@MrazFan100 what are we thinking that sweet spot is that warrants those lucky enough to be overqualified by PSU?

My son received an acceptance letter yesterday. We weren’t checking the portal yet, so we’re not sure when that changed, but we were surprised at how quickly the decision came.
