PSU Class of 2021 Decision Thread

@AdamPa6 I have nearly the same stats and you and applied Nov 22 haven’t heard back yet. Does what’s wrong with Ohio state?

My son applied to IST on 10/23 and we’re still waiting to hear back.

@Appcoll where do you see that?

Multiple people at my school in Northern Virginia were accepted this morning. I wonder if they maybe look at applications by region or by school.

@Doberlady In the MyPennstate Profile box at the top under my personal name/address/phonenumber

@Appcoll That’s really weird, maybe you’ve been accepted and the portal hasn’t been updated yet if they already assigned you a .edu

@hasannadeem47 do they assign an edu email address once you have been accepted?

@Appcoll I’ve got no idea to be honest, but I haven’t heard of anyone getting an email address before they even get accepted. It could be a glitch, or maybe you really did get accepted and the portal just hasn’t updated.

@bula22 I’m in state, and @jlhpsu ah ok thanks. My guidance counsolers are pretty bad lol

Also does anyone know if penn state converts old scores to new scores using the college board calculator? I know Pitt does this. Its kinda unrelated to the decisions thing but I’m just wondering.

@Branflakes4156 Im pretty sure they dont read letters of recommendation and also im pretty sure they dont read essays either unless u are on the border of getting in or not, but u have similar stats to me, i have a 3.65 UW, and 1340 on the new SAT and havent heard anything back yet. Applied october 10th for bioengineering.

I am accepted to UP for about five days now, but still have not received the big packet with all the info…Any accepted students…how long did it take for that to arrive?

@Branflakes4156 about the same stats (3.96 GPA 1340 new sat) chem major applied 10/30 and still waiting. It seems like very few eberly admittances so far from looking at these posts.

what was your weighted GPA out of? I’ve gotten similar stats but haven’t heard back

@mdb2251 do you speak french?

@mdb2251 I got the mail the next day but I live in New Jersey. It probably takes longer if you live farther away.

@averagewhiteguy @13579ep thanks for replying I have been looking all over from other sites and on social media and I barely see anything for any science related major I guess they go by school and since architecture and engineering are top they get accepted soonest. Well hopefully we are hear back soon and can put this stress behind us good luck to you both I hope we all can chant WE ARE at UP next fall

.

@Branflakes4156 I think they do go by school, the majority of decision I’ve seen so far have been Smeal/Engineering with a few Eberly/Liberal Arts. I haven’t seen a single acceptance for IST or Communications yet
