Penn State DISCUSSION THREAD Fall 2022 Admission

was a 3.8 uw out of I think 4.5. 4.3 weighted. nearly all As.

is that the button that says “change my test optional answer”?

I’m assuming thats what everyone is talking about. My daughter applied the last week of October Test Optional and we haven’t heard yet.

Ditto, part of me likes the schools that say “we will release the last Friday before Feb 1st” This waiting is driving me crazy

Yes

As with others above, my daughter still has received no email notification, but did get a packet in the USMail about a week after the decision was on the portal. We only looked on the portal after seeing posts in the Decision thread here.

It’s odd that for GPA, their CDS says “*Due to the variance in high school GPA ranges, this data is not available.” (for enrolled students), but they post it on their web site (for admitted students).

same I applied sept 25 so now I am
freaking out

My D received an email saying she had started her Schreyer Honors College application and she needs to complete by Dec 6. She never started app for honors, and we are still awaiting a decision from Penn State.

Did anyone get this email?

Same here. Never started the application and still waiting for the decision.

Here too. She never started the application for Honors but I think she may have marked “interested in honors” on her original app. In either instance, nothing here and she applied 8/3 test Optional

Penn State has never sent emails. They just update the portal with a decision and sent it via us mail. Nothing new here.

The gpa range is odd that posted on their website site but CDS does not. It has not changed in years. I wonder if there are so many applicants, it is virtually impossible to move the needle?

Same. Maybe it’s just a reminder. We applied end of September and I’m checking portal. My daughter not so much.

Interesting that you got an email - they haven’t done that in the past. Just checked with my kid and he got one also. (Seems like the portal is updated - and the snail mail sent - before the email was received).

I guess an old dog can learn new tricks?

Just saw this thread. I checked my psu portal two days ago, and the decision was already out. Got into the College of Engineering, and received the package today in the mailbox.
