PSU Class of 2021 Decision Thread

@avery76 same thing happened to me!!! I applied in Late October and my scores have been checked off since the beginning. What is going on?!?

Oh my!!! They are killing us! Geesh!

Just went back to under review

We received a postcard in the mail a few days ago from PSU. It said something like “the wait is almost over” and that all EA decision will be released by the end of January. It also stated that decisions are being made in no particular order. Basically, the card said everything that people have been posting in this forum.

That’s not very green.

Portal. Then a packet in the mail 5
days later.

@2021NH My son applied to smeal also. And his status just changed back again too!

Question regarding acceptance to DUS. I’m currently still awaiting my decision. I applied into engineering with 1280 SAT, 3.95 GPA, 9 AP courses.

If rejected from the Engineering program, could I automatically be deferred to DUS, or would I have to re-apply as Undecided? Thanks.

@Trollair we received the same

@OS1990 I am no expert and am questioning the same thing, from what I am reading on this board it sounds like if you get rejected from a specific program you can call admissions office and ask to be reconsidered for DUS. Its not automatic you will need to call. If this is wrong I’m sure someone will speak up on here, everyone is very helpful

Best of luck…

Site is down this morning…maybe we’re finally getting this weeks decisions !

Site is back up but still reviewing. Does anyone know if Summer session is more $$$?

I believe its about $8000

@doy123 summer session does cost more. If I’m not mistaken it is the room and board plus sum for the classes. It was briefly discussed in this forum, forget where it is though.

Summer is an additional $8k or so for 6 credits. If you’re going to augment summer with a couple of other summer classes along the way you could either finish early at PSU or take 12 credits in a couple of semesters. But there are definitely incremental costs with starting in summer.

As far as DUS, if rejected for a harder entry like Smeal you could call and ask to be reconsidered for DUS and Summer if willing…

I thought this was supposed to be a huge week for decisions, yet I haven’t really heard of any decisions made this week at all

Is there an option in the portal to be reconsidered for DUS or is it simply a matter of calling admissions?

Does anyone happen to know the average SAT score for those admitted into the College of Engineering?

Would you still be considered for summer or a branch if you put NO for summer and did NOT put a second choice? Just put University Park as the only option. DUS

@doy123 no you would not be considered for either. You need to put the option for summer and/or the option for a second branch to be considered
