PSU Class of 2020 Decision Thread

@shayyy123 Your best bet for responses would be to start a chance me thread. Good luck

Not that it represents a material difference but I mistyped my DS’s SAT score in post #357. It is 2060/2400, not 2050/2400.

Accepted DUS last night :slight_smile:

what is the minimum cutoff for SAT( CR, M &W) and GPA for an admission to PSU Engineering school?

Just need some affirmation…it is normal to have the “under review” status for over a month?

Yup! The majority of the acceptances will not hit until after Nov 30th. Only the individuals with the higher stats are hearing now.

@NusaDua my daughter got accepted to criminology. We received notification on Monday but we were on cruise week before so I don’t know what day it actually changed from under review to congratulations. I am sure u will hear shortly. Good luck!

@shamrock97 yes. that is completely normal. I received my acceptance about 5 weeks after they received all of my materials.

Thank you Bayside. I really do not know much about Penn State’s Criminology Program. Is it very competitive?

Congrats! I have about the same stats so hopefully I will get in, see you there! :slight_smile:

I’ve taken 15 combined honors and AP classes. Is that on par with most of the acceptances so far?

I applied the first week in October & still haven’t heard anything. All it says is “Application is under review…” how long is it gonna take until it changes to something!?

@QwertyYuiopp1 Welcome to the club. You can hear tonight or you can hear Jan.31st. Their seems to be no rhyme or reason…unless your a top tier applicant…they usually hear quicker.

When do internationals usually hear from penn state? Roughly 3.87 gpa (converted from GCSE and a 2020 SAT. Sent app, transcripts will reach be nov 30.
