@popekdl 31 ACT, 4.1 GPA (3.9 unweighted), all honors with 8 APs, multiple leadership positions at top instate high school, multiple Alumni in family, including both parents and two grandparents. I can’t imagine she would be deferred?

@BandMomof2 Just confirming. Does your daughter have the Nittany Lion picture?
@PAHoosier My son was accepted too (in December). His picture never changed and remains Old Main.
@H0llyw00d Yes. Nittany Lion pic
@BandMomof2 what major? in state or out? just curious.
In state, Biology. School doesn’t rank, but is in top 10 of state. By all accounts, a high stat kid.
I can’t image your child would be deferred with those stats.
My DD is 4.0 UW. 1150 SAT. Lots of CC’s. leadership and internships in Marketing. Applied to Smeal Nov 28 with Summer option
Still under review. Old Main pic remains.
30 ACT
3.9 Weighted
applied to Smeal
changed to Lion Pic.
My son’s portal also shows the Nittany Lion with a message stating the portal can"t be accessed and to try again
later. He applied to Smeal on 11/26. He has a 1530 SAT (one sitting) and an unweighted 3.84 gpa, with lots of honors, accelerated and ap clesses. Goes to a top high school in Westchester county NY.
Several times over the past months, the website has crashed and my profile has changed to the Lion picture with message saying they can’t access my application details to logout and try again. Each time, when the website issues are corrected, I go back to Old Main picture and my application under review. I wouldn’t be concerned if you see the Lion and that error message at all.
I was on portal this morning and was working. Now it looks like crashed with error messages.
Website has crashed many times over the past several months. Several times, I have had the picture change to the lion with a note under it saying they can’t access info - log out and log back in. When the website is fixedcorrected, I go back to application under review and Old Main picture.
Still Old Main. Applied 9/17 and under review since first week of Jan. OOS, Smeal Business, 3.75 UW, 4.35 W, 31 ACT, 1350 SAT. 6 APs, all rest honors. Baseball with lots of work experience and volunteer hours.
was able to get on. still under review. Old Main picture, is there a concern about the picture? Does that mean something, or are we all reading too much into this? Just wondering.
Also old main, under review for about a week. 1260 SAT/92 UW GPA aerospace engineering. Can’t wait to hear back and end this anxiety
@Thinkofalogin They must have a record number of applications to Smeal this year for your daughter to be rejected or deferred. I’ve looked at years past, and your daughter’s stats are in line or better than kids who were accepted into Smeal last year. My son has some incredible competitive business school options with similar stats to your daughter and is also showing the Nittany Lion. I wish you the best of luck and sincerely believe our kids will end up at the university that is truly right for them.
My portal also shows the Nittany Lion with a message stating the portal can"t be accessed and to try again. I applied 9/4 and have been under review since 11/11. 3.5 GPA, 1240 SAT. Applied DUS with summer session.
