Penn State DECISION THREAD ONLY - CLASS OF 2026

Did you all get an email about a status update or just randomly opened the portal and saw your decision like me.

Randomly checked portal and had the acceptance

Randomly checked portal and decision was there. I am surprised Penn does not inform of the admit decision via email.
I hope they send the fat envelope by snail mail.

If I used my Test Optional button in the portal to change my answer after already submitting, will it go away the night before my decision comes out? Thanks!

From what I’ve seen and heard, it disappears the night before your decision regardless of your test optional/ not test optional status :slight_smile:
