anyone having trouble accessing their portal right now?
@chuckiem Yes. I checked this morning, but now I cannot access my portal.
I’m getting an error message @KG5APR
@chuckiem Same. They are having technical difficulties and your portal should be up by this evening.
@KG5APR how did you find out you got accepted by the way?
@chuckiem I checked my portal and there was a note with a big red button at the bottom that said “accept your offer of admission” or something to that effect.
^congratulations!!
@KG5APR Congratulations
@NittanyLion1202 What did they say about changing your major after the deadline? I’m sure there are others in the same boat.
@jlhpsu They said I could if I would like, but the counselor I spoke to advised me against it as she felt I fell within a good range for my major . Overall, you can change your major, but unless you are absolutely sure about switching or you feel you have no chance in that major, you should wait out the initial application review. If not offered admission, then she said they would be able to reevaluate for another major and the second decision would only take several days. Changing your major will not delay your decision, either.
Also, congrats @KG5APR 
@NittanyLion1202 what major did you apply under?
@mdb2251 I applied to management under Smeal.
@KG5APR Congrats! I was going to apply for meteorology. Its a field that really interests me, and a great curriculum at PSU
I got the acceptance through mail today. I’m excited by my first college acceptance.

@hunterpsu if you go to ■■■■■■■■■■ and make an account with your stats/info it will give you chance ranges for all your schools
@hunterpsu You’re right, your GPA is really going to hurt you. Penn State Engineering is highly selective. You SAT score seems to be a little better than average for Penn State, but your GPA is much lower than average. Plus, that’s the whole student body. The engineering students are going to have both higher test scores and a higher GPA overall. Don’t veer away from the idea of going to a satellite school for a year or two and then transferring to UP.
I am not an admissions counselor, but I just did some research on it to answer your question and was admitted myself so I have an idea about what it takes.
