We were told no. You are RD, but would probably hear early, just not as early as EA.

344

Has anyone been admitted to the nursing program yet?

I think the key here is what does it say on your portal. So we had one admission counselor tell us yes, another told us no. When we questioned it we were told that the first counselor was correct and that yes she would be reviewed for EA. Then the next day her portal went from “we are verifiing your information” to “your application is under review” New to this process but that is my experience here.

Do decisions come out on weekends?

If you don’t mind me asking- do you live in the tri-state area? I heard they are doing it by location and I am in New Jersey.

352

Also what was your daughters gpa if you don’t mind me asking that as well?

We are in PA. My daughter’s stats- WGPA 4.3 UW 3.8. 16 Honors/AP’s 2 Dual Enrollment. She applied test optional. Her friend that was accepted on 11/24 had slightly lower stats and rigor but still very good.

His portal says they are verifying his information

Because it IS so large. It’s large and would be larger still if everyone who wanted to get into Smeal, got in. They have enrollment caps so that students can get the classes that they want. Finance has one of, if not the highest GPA requirements in all of Penn State. No one is in a major at Penn State until they fulfill entry to major classes. Not Smeal, not liberal arts, no one
except direct entry majors such as Nursing and a few others.

Do you think there is any chance of hearing a decision from now until Monday?
