Penn State DISCUSSION THREAD Fall 2022 Admission

No, she never reached out to admissions. We figured since others received same email that it was possibly because she selected the apply to honors button. If you end up emailing can you let me know response please. I also trying not to read anything into it.

Maybe it was a glitch like when they sent the text saying students needed log into the portal to complete their applications
only to send a text the next day saying to disregard the previous text.
But yeah, if anyone figures out what the right answer for this is, I’d be interested.

Hi All - for what it’s worth - There were a number of student’s applying to PSU from my D22’s HS. Of those who have applied, 1 was accepted to Eberly (likely top 25%), 1 was rejected (not sure which school), others are still waiting. My daughter is waiting and likely falls in the mid 50%.

I ended up emailing AO regarding the Schreyer Honors email. This was their response

`

That email went to any student who looked at or opened the application, even if they never actually started an application. You don’t need to do anything else if you do not intend on applying to Schreyer.

Well my daughter’s application went from “being verified” to now “is under review and results will be posted when I decision is made” I know it is a small change, but at least it is something!

In the past, when has the TO button normally disappeared? Also, what are some signs that a decision is forthcoming?

Also, should I submit my SAT? I already submitted, but I still have the decision to change it. It is a 1300 and I am applying for psychology in Liberal Arts. Let me know, and thank you!!

My daughter’s application has been like that since late October
“is under review”.

I called Admissions at Penn State this week, and was told that they had received 60,000 applications by Nov. 1 and that they are “chipping away” at them!

Anyone from Pittsburgh area received acceptance yet? To engineering?

That’s so many I don’t even know if I have a chance now

I suspect that they might be sending out a batch just in time for Thanksgiving.

Oh, no, don’t think that. The Admissions rep told me that the same thing happens every year; apparently, they get a huge amount of applications for all campuses around Halloween.

Does anyone know if decisions will come during their thanksgiving break?

My son was just accepted to Eberly College of Science at Penn State. He applied on October 28th. This is the first college he has heard from so we are thankful!
