PSU Class of 2018 Admission Decision Thread

<p>@Delete if you picture stayed at UP why are you worried?</p>

<p>My son’s status changed to coming days Friday afternoon. Very anxious now. He has a 3.55 GPA but huge upward trend, 4.0 junior year and 3.78 sophomore year. 2010 SAT. His pic is still UP but he did not put an alternate campus. He only put summer session as a backup option. I was hoping his status would have changed by now.</p>

<p>@vibs I’ve heard of people who’s pictures have stayed UP only to change to an alternate campus when the decision goes through. Sometimes I hear about stories like that, but instead of an alternate campus, the person is rejected.
I don’t know man, I’m just finding this weird correlation between people who received the “coming days” status on Friday and their picture not remaining UP.</p>

<p>My son just spoke to admissions about his rejection for UP fall session. They said it was an unusually competitive applicant pool, but offered him summer session at UP with the same major. Said he was rejected last Friday because he didn’t check off summer on his original app, only fall. He seems to be warming up to the idea of summer session, but we will see. He is still waiting on Northeastern, Villanova, URochester, Lehigh, RPI. GPA 3.6/SAT I 2070 (CR 660 M 690 W 720) Superscore is higher at 2110, but PSU only takes a single sitting. Hope this helps. Good luck to all and know that it all works in the end!</p>

<p>@Collagemom Congrats! What exactally did you ask the admission’s councelor? Did you just ask if you could be reevaluated for summer?</p>

<p>@Delete I’m in the same position as you, man. I applied for University Park Summer, and DUS in October and I just noticed the “coming days” status today.</p>

<p>@BowWow96 - This is a support group for ppl who check for a decision 100xs a day. Ya gotta up your game kid… :p</p>

<p>PSU_Admissions twitter acct just tweeted that updates go out between 5-6.</p>

<p>Rejected from smeal
Gpa 3.8

Lots of ec and community service
Good essays and recommendations </p>

<p>Just wanted people to know some stats of the people that didn’t get in</p>

<p>Accepted to Penn State COE for the Fall at UP!</p>

<p>I received the “coming days” status late Friday and I checked at 1730 today and it changed to accepted.</p>

<p>Picture stayed at UP the whole time</p>

<p>@Delete, my son’s also changed to his 2nd choice campus on Friday. it has been the same status since then. have you heard anything yet?</p>

<p>@psumamsita what status are being changed? The ones that were updated Friday?</p>

<p>@longwait7 Nope, haven’t heard anything yet. I’m hoping to hear back by the end of the night, if not tomorrow morning.</p>

<p>@ronredd96 no my status says I will hear in the coming days. It has said that since Friday night.</p>

<p>Check their twitter account. They said status updates go in between 5 and 6pm but then added the IT dept says give it to 7pm just in case. Think it’s an overall blanket statement to someone who asked when they should be checking. My D says nothing yet.</p>

<p>So is it 1-3 days or more like 4+ days (biz?) after change of status that we find out? Sorry student from Europe and slightly confused!</p>

<p>@Eaglefan116…My daughter applied directly to summer but was accepted for Fall. She found out 2 weeks ago. So I don’t think your theory works.</p>
