PSU Class of 2018 Admission Decision Thread

<p>Scholarships ship out first week of march</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I was accepted to University Park! My credentials aren’t as impressive at face value amongst the pool here, but I did take A.P./Honor courses all throughout HS, so I assume that made an impression. </p>

<p>Does anyone still have the “reviewing credentials” status?</p>

<p>I was denied admissions to Smeal with a 3.42 GPA and a 1970 SAT with 10 honors/AP classes. I emailed the office of admissions and asked to change my major to undecided at University Park, what are my odds of getting accepted at this point in time? (I’m so anxious about all of this.)</p>

<p>oweng65 - sorry to hear about your denial. My son too got denied. Who did you send your email to? Can you pls share the email id. Thanks</p>

<p>when did you all hear?</p>

<p>@rdadpop - I sent an email to <a href=“mailto:admissions@psu.edu”>admissions@psu.edu</a></p>

<p>@ngutierrez - today around 5:40</p>

<p>@oweng65</p>

<p>How many days did your status have the “final stages” thing? What was your picture of? Did you put a branch as a backup?</p>

<p>I’m annoyed I thought I would know by now and I applied undecided to DUS at UP no alternate campus and summer session if not fall.</p>

<p>@reyalpmark - My thing changed to final stages on friday and I heard tonight. The picture was of UP the whole time until I was denied because I only applied there.</p>

<p>@oweng65 Did you put summer session or no? I’m worried now….</p>

<p>i emailed them friday, TWICE, confirming that i’d like to be reconsidered for DUS at UP and STILL (!!!) no confirmation or status change!! calling tomorrow, really hoping for a status change or at least an acknowledgement of my existence!! </p>

<p>Sorry @reyalpmark! Was that your weighted or unweighted GPA? Your SAT score is impressive, I don’t know why you were rejected. </p>
