There is a waitlist option but some years they don’t put any applicants on it.
@caveatesq I’m the same, I also applied through Coalition mid October and nothing has changed yet.
@ppst She should check her spam. Mine was sitting in there since early December and I only recently found it. I think all emails went out already. I had mine last Saturday!
Son applied mid-November. Applied to Smeal. OOS. Account has been “under review” for approx. 4-5 weeks. End of the month can’t come soon enough!
Please PSU admission’s start sending out decisions already!!! I’m dying here.
I applied on 9/4 and I’ve been under review for 2 months now. It seems like not many decisions have been released so far!! Hoping to hear soon, but at least only less than 20 days left of waiting. Good luck to everyone! Hope the wait will be worth it
@BreakfastClub1 we are in the same boat with being “Under Review” for five weeks. I know Penn State has their form of “Rolling Admissions,” but I think they would be better serving their applicants by just giving the date range and sending decisions out in weekly waves. I know everyone does their own thing but of the dozen schools my son applied to, this is the only one that is so random.
@HOllywOOd i would agree. Although they are not that late in letting some know, other schools have been pretty quick in letting kids know their decision. We are only waiting on Penn State. We have all our ‘accepted student’ days set with the ones he wants to go back to. I have heard of some acceptances but no business school ones yet.
Hi guys, I didn’t get into main but I got into berks with a 3.65 W and 1120 SAT, applied DUS and summer session. I recently changed my mind and would like to go to Altoona, is there any way I can get Berks changed to Altoona or should I just apply to Altoona?
What is your major? @Cdh2018101
@Cdh2018101 Yes, my son applied 2 years ago, got accepted to Behrend and switched to Altoona.
does anyone know what time decisions are typically posted? is it 12 am every day or later in the morning??
Wowow! I got accepted into PSU’s Main campus for Engineering!!
I am OOS. I applied early November and my status finally changed to “We are reviewing your application” just four days ago. Super happy with these results! I heard that PSU usually releases batches of decisions every day at midnight. Good luck to everyone else!
Doing this so I can help other anxious applicants feel a bit more relieved/give an idea of an admit 
Refer to Penn State’s admission profile on their website because as long as you’re above 50th/ near 75th you have a very good chance of admission. 2/3 of their decision is based upon GPA and class rank! Test scores and everything else matters but is not a deciding factor of admission (only 1/3 of the battle).

Did you get into UF?
@caveatesq My S applied the beginning of Nov. His status was the same as yours. Just changed this morning. SRAR is now completed and application is under review…fingers crossed!
@pct3 My son’s status also changed as of this morning to completed and under review. Should be soon.
Does anyone know if acceptance notifications are only sent out once a day ?
@Mcjc626 the pattern has been that it updates only once so if you check it in the morning, you don’t need to keep checking it until the next day.
Wondering if anyone who applied to UP for nursing has received a response yet. I recall seeing one person on the thread but that is it. Does anyone know are they usually that last to find out? D applied in Oct. and has been under review since the beginning of November.
