@ccs062 @Collegedad33 My D applied to the School of Nursing at UP September 4th. Her application went under review late October and she just received her acceptance Friday morning. She was checking the portal daily for months. A long wait, but definitely worth it! Hang in there!
@pamom-of-2 Thanks and congrats again to your daughter! That’s so great for the nursing entry. It’s soooo competitive. We are trying to be patient as we have been waiting since early Oct.
Tough to call it rolling admissions but it is what it is. We heard from PITT in 3 weeks and were hoping like everyone to have sooner results…but PSU did say Jan 31st at the latest so we can’t really complain.
The wait is a killer but it will be over for all of us soon. Congrats again and fingers crossed for everyone still waiting.
Daughter! Still no answer yet! Put down UP - but she’s a dance major and that’s the only choice. I have a son that goes there already. But just saw your post and so happy that he is in! Congrats to him!!! That’s amazing!!!
@andreq that is great news! So happy that he has a better option… I actually think Abington will be a great option for him - get through those pre-req’s in a smaller environment.
yay!
It’s nearly January 30th and they said we would hear back by the 31st. This is so stressful. My application is still under review!
Spoke too soon! Was just accepted to UP Eberly College of Science majoring in Biology! WE ARE!
Has anyone registered for the Accepted Student Program?
Anyone hear from nursing? Mines still under review.
Applied September 1st and after checking the portal all the time, finally got in fall at UP last night!! The wait was worth it!

Applied before the November 30th deadline for IST and it still says under review. Has anyone heard back from IST yet considering we should know by tomorrow at the latest? Would it help to call them?
@my2nurses - congrats to your daughter! Getting worried now. My D applied nursing as well back in September and still sitting under review. If they are having a nursing admittance day on 2/2 do you think all the nursing applicants have already heard or do they have multiple days for them? Feeling very frustrated. Hope they are not holding denials until the 1/31.
I think they hold denials for the end.
