I get it that kids are “disappointed” with summer. It is a great thing. I have made my kids do it even though not required.

  1. take English if possible. Great to know time-out of the way.
  2. adjust to campus. Learn dorms living, cafeteria, campus.
  3. make friends.
  4. learn your way around campus.

Kids who have done it come back in fall almost like sophomores - they have a clue, friends, and a few credits under their belt.

It is a great thing. He shouldn’t feel bad about it - he will love it!

Smeal folks, how long after application complete did you receive a decision? Thanks!

506

I know right!!

507

About a month and a half.

My daughter is still waiting on Smeal/Marketing decision, too, I see people getting in with test optional, and I am wondering if she should change her test optional status. I thought her 1300 would be enough, but maybe not, since she’s still waiting. Her GPA is 4.15 and she’s got a strong transcript, etc. Thoughts?

510

If she applied by the EA deadline, just sit tight. You’ll have an answer within a week. If you change the TO status, she goes to the back of the pile and wont hear for another six weeks.

My daughter got in this morning to Smeal but for summer not fall. I also saw some people got in for fall with no submitted tests. She submitted tests but wondering if she should not have. Oh well too late now lol. Glad she got in to UP. She has other schools she’s considering too.
Gpa 4.4, SAT 1280, in state

I’m also still waiting for smeal with a 1300 SAT, I’m a little nervous, but I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.

513

Did anyones Application Status change from “under review” to:
Your application has been updated. Please check back soon for a status update.
If so, what was the outcome? The TO button is still there. Thanks!

My son’s application status changed saying we will get back to you soon.
I’m thinking waitlisted or possibly deferred.

519

520

No sorry, it’s the same as yours.

521
