@BreBre235 No…What made you think that?
@madman1923 hmm that is weird…I am in state and haven’t gotten the mail yet.
@mdb2251 I have not received it either, but I am from Texas.
Does the mail package specify Provost or not?
The package literally is the letter of admission in the portal and a few packets about Penn state. There was also a statement on the acceptance fee.
@mdb2251 I’m also in-state, accepted on Friday (date on the online letter says 12/8) and still have not received a packet… it’s funny because I was accepted into Tulane, letter sent on Friday, received Monday. But yet, at PSU, I’m still waiting.
@allison1225 my letter online says 12/9 so hopefully it comes in the next couple days
For all those checking their portal 5 times a day: I DM’ed PSU admissions “Does penn state only upload new acceptances at a certain time to is it throughout the day”, and they responded “The best time is to check in the morning”. So after that first check in the morning, sounds like no need to make sure again later
