PSU Class of 2020 Decision Thread

Status just change to "Your application materials are being verified. Any additional application materials required to complete your application will be added to your Application Checklist during the verification process. .

We will update this message when our review of your supporting materials is complete."

Your first choice campus in the photo?

@amomoffour thats what my status said before it changed to “Your application is incomplete. Please see your Application Checklist for details”. And yeah, my first choice campus was in the photo.

Our school was notified that they had issues with transcripts showing as verified, let’s assume this means things are moving along. Was something missing?

Reviewed or verified?

@Pace174 @amomoffour @s16s18s21s25 For this I am just speaking out of experience, but for me the same thing happened and I freaked out for the first 2-3 days when it had that and then it was updated. My suggestion is to wait half a week and if the problem continues, contact a representative/your counselor. Hope it all works out and I wish you the best of luck!!!

Okay, we’re back to once the checklist is complete (which it is) we will begin review. Glitch is fixed.

Now says being verified, so apparently they not only fixed the problem, but update the system throughout the day. Not good for those of us who obsessively login to 8 different application trackers at least once a day.

same, switched back to “Your application materials are being verified…We will update this message when our review of your supporting materials is complete”.

Verification is apparently a quick process. Now we are in the perhaps endless state of “under review.” But hey, progress is progress.

Does anyone else’s application status say: “Your application is currently under review. We have received everything required to complete your application. Once a decision is made, it will be posted here.”

Yup, that’s what ours did this morning. That is the default status which could last until January, from what I have seen in the prior threads.

Yeah now my app status is “currently under review”

My son heard Nov. 5th for his acceptance. Pretty exceptional student. Most didn’t hear for months.

So My daughter read last years decision thread. She is freaking out that she won’t hear anything until end of Jan.

Penn State University Park is my first choice, and i was wondering if you guys could tell me if I have a chance at getting accepted into the main campus as a freshman
SAT: 1850 (600 Critical Reading, 640 Math, 610 Writing)
GPA: 97.6 (Weighted) 96.5 (unweighted)

I sent in my app on 9/30 but my transcripts have not been received yet according to PSU, although they were sent in by my school last Wednesday (im also freaking out a little about that)

Thanks in advance!! :slight_smile:

@ashelylevintine if you applied DUS and summer option I would say you’re guaranteed to get in but I’m no admissions person but I do for sure think you have a good chance

@ashleylevintine It sometimes takes them a little while to update to say they have received your transcripts do don’t worry it will probably marked them as received shortly! I agree with the above- if you put down summer and undecided, you should be good! Good luck!

@pitt2021 @jul247 thank you both so much! I did go in as undecided, and checked off summer start as an option, so fingers crossed! :slight_smile:

Not that it means anything. But, Big Future by the College Board shows that rolling admissions started yesterday. LOL
