PSU Class of 2018 Admission Decision Thread

<p>for me i never got accepted in the first place so idk what happens the pic went from altonna to up. did the same thing happen to you dsbdude and did u apply for summer?</p>

<p>@blob - Your picture changed to Altoona because when they were going to give you the decision, that is what campus it would have been for. Now that you changed your major, they reset the whole thing and it goes back to UP. You now just have to wait again until you get accepted or the picture changes again.</p>

<p>thx. hopefully i get into dus summer</p>

<p>So from what I understand, if you get rejected from smeal you can just call and change to undecided, and you’re pretty much in if your stats are like greater than a 3.4uw gpa, and a 1970 SAT?</p>

<p>has anyone heard back from their journalism program? i just checked my status and it just changed from “reviewing your credentials” to “coming days” and i have the UP picture up. my second choice is altoona. do you guys know when their final decision will go up after the “coming days” message?</p>

<p>@tiffany18 i haven’t heard anything. i applied to the journalism program and my status has been “We are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.” with the UP photo since early october.</p>

<p>Just got my message changed to “coming days”! I selected summer session, as well as an alternate campus, but the picture stayed at UP! I really hope this means what I think. Even if I have to go up for summer, i’ll be so excited. I applied for the College of Health and Human Development, athletic training major, if anyone is interested</p>

<p>@tiffany, I would hope that you should have your decision by Friday if not before. If you have a decent GPA and ACT/SAT, the fact that your pic did not change to a branch campus is very good news.</p>

<p>I got my coming days status yesterday. Picture stayed at UP is this good news? Applied for the major premedicine. I also had York as an alternative. When do you guys think I will have a decision?</p>

<p>@hopmayer when did you apply? because i applied after november 30.
@collegeris my sat wasnt that good it was a 1640 and my gpa is a 3.4 but i guess it has something to do with my major choice and the school i go to operates on all honor level classes and is well recognized. so it could go either way i guess</p>

<p>@tiffany18 oh boy i applied by 10/20, but idk they said a while back that they don’t review apps in chronological order of when they were received so it’s a bit sucky</p>

<p>@collegeris thank you soo much! And to those who are still waiting.
