<p>@MummyofCollegian I got my coming days status last night t around 6-7:15 and my picture stayed at university park. I got my
Official acceptance today at around the same time. So sometimes it takes a day to get the official decision or 2. Hold on looks like good news cause I had an alternate as well.</p>
<p>Anybody planning to do biomed engineering at university park? Or premed?</p>
<p>Daughters status changed late last night to coming days. Still showing UP…keeping our fingers crossed. She did put Altoona as her 2nd choice</p>
<p>I just emailed admissions if I can sill be considered for the summer session as I forgot to check it when I was applying. I’m still on the reviewing stage.</p>
<p>3.8 u/w gpa
1540 sat
Essays are pretty good
Ecs are good
Recommendations are decent</p>
<p>My son’s status picture changed to 2nd choice campus on Friday and is still stuck at “final stage”. Does anyone know what this means? I thought it takes 2 or 3 business days to get the final decision once your status changes.</p>
<p>@longwait ~ if the picture changes to the branch campus, then you most likely are excepted to that branch.</p>
<p>Our decision took less than 1day. For some others several days.</p>
<p>Has anyone been accepted to the College of Health and Human Development? Is is very competitive? My S applied to the Health Policy & Admin program in early Nov and we have not heard anything at all…still showing UP picture and the standard reviewing credentials message. Thanks!</p>
<p>My son was accepted to Altoona yesterday. His SAT scores are 300 points higher than their average. He emailed to be reconsidered for UP as a DUS student instead of engineering. The standards for engineering are really high and competitive. I’ll update if they do reconsider him. He initially applied directly for summer.</p>
<p>Accepted!!! Industrial Engineering!</p>
<p>@psugrad</p>
<p>just a question after you called the office and asked for dus
if you log back in, did the picture go back to up and does ur status say coming days?</p>
<p>@blobhead-he couldn’t get through on the phone so he emailed last night. No change so far. He is really happy with Altoona, but his sister is at UP and that’s a draw for him.</p>
<p>o because same thing happened to me and i called them and they changed the picture for me and it stills says coming days.
i just wanted to know if that meant anything and if the picture changed for you with the status saying “final review coming soon”</p>
<p>@blobhead. After calling and speaking with an admissions counselor, my son’s status when from accepted at Altoona and a picture of Altoona’s campus to the coming days and a picture of UP. All is well. The counselor told him that he was accepted at UP. He did everything over the phone. So, its just an online process. Hang tight. :)</p>
<p>so since my picture changed. i should be confident about getting in ?</p>
<p>I would think so but I can’t say for sure. Did the person you speak with approve you over the phone? I know some people were not even given the option to change because their credentials weren’t high enough for UP. I would think if that were the case your status wouldn’t have changed back.</p>
<p>@psugrad - I would definitely call today. I think a personal phone call may get a better response than an email. I’m sure they are being overloaded. Good luck to your son!</p>
<p>@momofboys727 </p>
<p>they didnt confirm anything they just said they would move me to dus.
then an hour later the pic changed to up. and the status still says coming days final review.
but ya i think i was approved to change majors cuz my credentials are borderlines for penn state up</p>
<p>@psugrad he’s too good to be at Altoona. Definitely do summer session or whatever you can so he can go to UP.</p>

I have been mainly a lurker on this thread. Very happy for your son that he is in! His stats are great. You too Ryan CollegeBound. My daughter hopefully will pick PSU…she has some others she is waiting on.</p>
