Penn State Early Action for Fall 2024 Admissions

Hi…Just reaching out to say hello. I check the portal a few times a day anxiously awaiting the decision. Daughter is a Fall 2024 hopeful. This forum has been very helpful.

Oh, quick question. Does PSU send out an email saying “There has been an update to your application status” or do we just keep pinging the portal for the update?

From what I’ve heard, you just keep checking

In Fall 2021 we just kept checking. Don’t remember if an email came.

Last year, met older son checked one day and his acceptance was there. He hadn’t checked in a several days, so he doesn’t know exactly when the decision was first put on the portal.

No email with a portal update.

Honestly, to reduce stress, just stop checking.

You will get old school snail mail a few days after the portal is updated. Wouldn’t it be fun to open a letter together with your kid?

So surprising. How hard is it to auto-generate an email like every other school?

Totally agree…it would be fun to see that letter in the mailbox…open it up and see the answer.

I wish I had the willpower to not check online :laughing:

Yes…all the other schools she heard back from did get a heads up email.

Hopefully nursing answers come out early Dec. Applications for nursing weren’t due until 12/1 so I don’t think they would release any of these earlier than first week of Dec. Application was sent in September so hopefully we don’t have to wait until 12/24:) Fingers crossed!

Ok my s24 application shows as complete and under review and no longer has any option to add SAT/ACT scores.

Does this mean I can expect a decision soon?

There wasn’t much info the person gave other than UP with undecided major. If I find out more, I’ll report back
