The University of M would be the ONLY one of that list. (I guess we have another 4-5 that are NDSU, so maybe 9-10). My son just graduated the Twin Cities with a degree in Professional Physics (Dad is also a physics teacher).
But yes, we do a lot of Moorhead, Bemidji, Jamestown, St. Marys, and a FEW Duluth. Crazy huh?! There is not a lot of guidance for our kids or encouragment
Accepted! Applied 10/30, OOS, 1410 SAT, 4.54 WGPA.
my daughter received a yes yesterday with a crim major- however, my son has not heard yet with a bio major⊠the joy of twins! we are in NJ
Anyone test optional hear back?
Yes. My daughter applied test optional at the end of September and she was accepted on 11/4.
oh congrats to her! But that has to be hard for him! If my daughter gets in maybe they will meet someday 
In it out of state?
In State
Nursing are typically one of the last groups to hear. They dig into the pool and really look at academics to ensure that they will be successful. I wouldnât get disappointed or read anything into it if she doesnât hear until the end.
@addacd1 The differences in GPA calculation is exactly why your D filled out the SRAR. What Penn State does is attempt to âequalizeâ them using the inputs from the SRAR. It is also why - on their common data set - they donât report GPA any more. Because the numbers they use have been manipulated and massaged from the inputs. While I donât know for a fact, I would hope that more competitive HS get a âbumpâ in their GPA when compared to a less competitive HS, so that all 4.0âs arenât equal.
It used to be that the advice given if you applied âRollingâ in mid august, was to call and get switched to priority. Rolling is the LAST group to come out after EA and priority. However, someone posted above that PSU e mailed them and stated that decisions will be based on when your application was complete and not what you selected. If true, then you have nothing to worry about.
Here is the link to the middle 50%. Admission Statistics - Undergraduate Admissions
Upper 25% for SAT would be above 1450.
GPA is based on unweighted, 4.0 scale.
Any idea when that âendâ is? My D is nursing and I donât know when the last groups might hear
For Early Action, they promise a decision by December 24.
They do say that, but keep in mind a âdecisionâ can be a deferral as well. Itâs good for people to be prepared for that. It didnât happen a lot, but it did happen.
Thatâs not too bad!
Congratulations to those that have been accepted and good luck to those still waiting!
Quick question. Do acceptance letters still come in the mail in addition to email or is everything solely done online now?
My daughter received an envelope in the mail a few days after her acceptance appeared on the portal. It included a copy of the acceptance and other information regarding admission.
First notification is found in the portal - before any email or snail mail. It should be checked often.
Yes
