PSU Class of 2021 Decision Thread

Does anyone know if you get that “coming days” status change a day before ur decision? I know that was the case for me when I got in 2 years ago, now my brother is waiting on his decision so I was wondering if thats still the case or if it just immediately changes to a decision?

Ours immediately changed to a decision and we had the same picture the whole time… good luck to all waiting… it’s brutal!

@sunnyjames65 What status change are you talking about?

Portal now says, Your application has been updated. Please check back soon for a status update. Yesterday and all along, it said something like we received your info and its under review…

thanks!

I applied to Smeal college of business

The screen changes and your admission decision is 2 to 3 paragraphs. It will look entirely different than before. I think updating and all that other stuff is just that, stuff. My portal changed after midnight one night and it was obvious. You’ll get the “We Are Penn State and so are you” line.

Good Luck

I have the old main picture also. I’m thinking it has been there all along? And my status stil has the “under review, we have everything we need…” Have there been any decisions this week? Haven’t heard of 1 yet

@Reit23 What does the old picture look like? I am trying to see if my picture changed because my status does now say “Please check back soon for a status update”.

@nj3edu the old picture was a picture of old main

My status changed as well. Hope to hear back soon! Hard to not keep my hopes up for tonight though

Picture of old main. Looks like it was taken mid-summer season

So what does the new picture of old main look like. My status is still under review…

@sunnyjames65 Smeal for me

Picture of old main taken mid summer I’d say. Lots of green grass in front of it…do you have that picture or a different one?

2 hours ago my portal said my application was updated and to check back soon for an update, but it just changed saying that they are in a high volume of transcripts and test scores and they will be checked off when they are complete…but I already saw this message months ago when i first applied. And all of my items have been checked off since the first week in november…

I give up…my status just changed back to “Your application is currently under review…”
I will check tomorrow am this is too stressful for me
