Congratulations!!

Does the TO button disappearing mean the whole TO application section is gone? Or is it grayed out like you cannot edit it? Just want to make sure we know what to be on the lookout for :slight_smile:

 I’m confused. If you selected business major and Smeal does that put you at a disadvantage? I didn’t realize Penn State required you to apply into the major.

Can you explain what the Test Optional button looked like or where it was? We looked in the portal and only see a paragraph at the top and 2 boxes with check marks of items completed. Thanks!

Click the “profile menu” in the top left. Once clicked, it will open up more options on the left.

For OOS that applied DIRECTLY with PSU, not Common App, it’s Under “Applicant Tools” on the left hand side of the page.

Did he apply test optional?

Congratulations :tada::balloon::confetti_ball:
