@simple0920 Thanks! Everything was submitted right around 10/15.
@sstudent2022 - There is no email, you have to just keep obsessively checking the portal which turns from “under review” to “We are Penn State and so are you!” if you get accepted. I HATE this system!
Is it updated throughout the day, or only overnight?

Congrats to all of the acceptances! To those who haven’t heard yet, don’t worry! Most people don’t hear until January. The stats of those hearing now are all pretty high (I haven’t seen anyone accepted yet with a WGPA under 4.0!). Many high stat kids don’t hear until January either. So don’t worry about comparing to other’s timelines or stats, it literally means nothing as to whether you will be accepted or not OR how much longer you have to wait. Hang in there…2 months to wait TOPS!

General Comments: Not a huge surprise, but still very relieving to receive this first decision! I’ve always been a huge PSU football fan, so this is fairly high on my list. WE ARE…PENN STATE
For everyone’s reference: The Portal is updated overnight, it usually doesnt load early in the morning, changing to “Under Review” doesnt mean a decision is coming soon (mine said that for two months) it just means that they received all of your stuff, ONLY CHECK THE PORTAL ONCE A DAY

When did you apply? And is your gpa weighted
My D SAR status changed to completed yesterday and application is under review. Does that mean decision will come soon…
@pupperlover is that gpa your weighted or unweighted gpa?
@pupperlover May I ask when did your stat change from “under review” to find out? I am very nervous now.
