@averagewhiteguy I think you should be alright, your GPA is within range and your SAT is good. Although engineering is tough so you never know. You will hear back anytime before Jan. 31 there is no way to predict when.
Also, @BreBre235 is right, stop asking to be chanced in this thread, this is a decisions thread. Make your own thread to be chanced.
has anyone who applied to their nursing program for UP heard back yet? I applied in sept. and getting nervousss
is it true decisions will start to roll out tomorrow?
@chuckiem The priority date is Nov. 30th, so starting December 1st many people will start hearing back. I still wouldn’t expect to hear anything back until January though, as that is when most people find out. Might get lucky though.
oops didnt know i wasnt supposed to post to be chanced here. Oh well… Also I was told at my school that Penn State unleashes decisions in waves, so I guess that means the first wave will probably be unleashed in december…
anyone hear back yet?
Will my portal change to coming days before I get my decision or will it just pop up one day?
@studentny2017 pop up one day
@pennst2021 Not necessarily, I’ve heard of both happening.
@hasannadeem47 I don’t think they still do that. I may be wrong, but my friends who have already got in said they didn’t get a coming days notification, and based off of last years thread, I believe they got rid of the coming days notification

I have a question. Let’s say I get into Altoona but I’m really willing to do summer session. Is there a way I could contact them so they could reconsider me for SS? (I applied for psych)
@nhenry123 you can try and ask to be reconsidered for summer session DUS if you didn’t check off summer session in your original application
@pennst2021 Well I did check off summer session, im just asking if I dont get into it and I got into altoona could I do anything to be reconsidered for SS
@nhenry123 you can try to be reevaluated for an easier major such as DUS (undecided) but I don’t think that’ll work because it has the same requirements as psychology
Accepted to the College of Nursing!
Does anyone know when merit aid scholarships will be sent out?
@kristen44 I don’t think they come out till spring. What were your stats?
@nhenry123 In general, if you apply with summer checked and not a controlled major, and you don’t get in, changing to DUS won’t matter in your application. So, if you applied engineering or smeal and get denied, then you might have a shot at changing to DUS - but the entry requirements are the same for psych and DUS, so if you get denied for psych, changing to DUS won’t do anything. Also, people think it’s just easy to call and be reconsidered. When you call to be reconsidered, you are put in the back of the line after everyone else who applied priority. I’ve seen plenty of people with high stats who were denied for their first choice major ask to be reconsidered and were not allowed to. If there are a lot of DUS students - and of course, there are more every year as people realize that it’s easier to get in that way and change their major later - then they can’t reevaluate everyone that asks. The still have a quota of students they can admit - regardless of major.
