PSU (University Park) Class of 2017 Admission Decision Thread!

<p>Also, does Penn State update their online status checker on sundays? Ik that they update it at a little after midnight each night, but do they update it from sat. night into sun. morning, like at sat night at midnight?</p>

<p>My son was given Berks and he did not ever want Berks but the application asked for two locations. Now what? He will select another school that will fit better than Berks. Any options available? What should he consider doing?</p>

<p>^ very sorry to hear that…I have really low SAT score and I got into the summer season…I don’t understand what you mean by the application asked for two location. It asks for priority campus and alternate starting campus. I hope you put priority as University Park and alternate as Berks…or did you do the opposite ?</p>

<p>Does anyone know what time the status checker online updates each day and if it updates on sundays???</p>

<p>Yes, accepted on Thursday to Smeal for fall semester.</p>

<p>XtremePower My son selected University Park and Berks as an alternative. He did visit Berks first but it was not for him. Berks/Reading is one hour away and he wants the experience of living away from home. He was so excited about PS. Now he is disappointed and looking at another offer. That school is 5 hours away. I feel really bad for him but dont know what to advise. Change major? Summer Session? He felt that he had to put down the two locations because it was asked on the app even though he would not accept the branch.</p>

<p>Congratulations! Just wondering…Did you check off on the application that you wanted summer session? Or is that what they offered?</p>

<p>Ok call them and ask to be considered for summer season. If he had checked summer season when he applied, he would have gotten accepted.
@machoman I think they do update statuses on Sunday since its automatically done. Your decision is already made but the server only displays the decision after 2 or 3 days so that you get the letter first.</p>

<p>@XtremePower thank you. If I didn’t get the decision in the mail yet, but got coming days on thursday, could my decision be online tmr (Sunday)???</p>

<p>Thanks! It was all or nothing on my app!! I only applied to University Park, no alternate campus and no summer session.</p>

<p>@machoman Yep Sunday 12:00 AM…I checked mine at 1:00 am Friday and it said accepted…could not sleep whole night…I hope you will let us know in this thread…</p>

<p>@biomedengkid Did your acceptance just get posted right now at 11:30?</p>

<p>3 days since my status changed to “coming days” still didn’t get a decision i’m so worried :C</p>

<p>@SATN00B Stats? and did u get coming days on thursday? I got it thursday and still nothing… I think we’ll find out tmr night at midnight so like monday.</p>

<p>@Machoman: yup , changed on Thursday … how long did it take for ur status to become “coming days” when did u apply ?</p>

<p>i applied in september. i think i got admitted for summer session. u think we’ll get our decision tmr at midnight?</p>

<p>@Machoman: Probably, admitted people say that “coming days” means decision will be posted in 3-4 days. </p>

<p>I applied on 12/16 when i emailed them they said decision will be posted in end of FEB but its 20 jan now i dont know if this is a good or a bad sign :/</p>
