I could be wrong, but it seems like the admissions are starting to move down from the very top-tier kids into the 1900-1800 SAT and 3.7 GPA kids. Can we expect to see more of this?
My d has not heard and we applied summer and she has the grades and scores It is strange
I sure hope so @tmperini
My daughter applied September 1, and all her transcripts etc were in on September 14. So we are waiting as well! I know how frustrating it is but it is nice to know that we are not alone. She applied to the College of Earth and Mineral Science as a Meteorology Major.
My daughter applied on 10/6.

Chances?
Ooops, forgot to mention… Five AP classes, two with a grade of “5” on the exams… Two college level classes this semester.
You should start a chances thread. I can’t say cuz I’m intl, but scores are good.
FYI: classes are off, but PSU employees do not go on T-giving break until weds afternoon.
@luvthej Thanks. I was wondering if they would be off also. Still waiting for a decision.
Applied at 9am September 1st, as soon as I woke up on the first day the application opened… 1890 sat 4.0 goa, 6 APs, OOS majoring in Biology. Not asking for anyone to chance me just expressing my frustration as to how I have not heard anything yet with higher scores then others who have been accepted and applied much later… Anyone else dealing with this issue? Hoping to hear very soon
@rosie1790 A lot of us in your situation. You are not alone.
I am in the same holding pattern. Just stay confident! I just tell myself everyday that passes I am one day closer to getting my acceptance. I hope we both hear soon.
