I’m so jealous of everyone with the status changes! I can’t believe after all this time waiting I only have about 10 more days.

@bananananas‌ when did you hear? And what was your unweighted gpa if you don’t mind me asking?

Finally, after submitting an application on 9-1, application complete on 9-15, countless checking of the my Penn State status, it changed tonight to coming days!!! Best of luck to everyone!!!

@scohen99 We’re in the same boat. No status change at all yet!! The waiting is so hard!

Status finaaaaaaaallly changed to coming days tonight!!! I applied the first week of october and this has felt like the longest wait ever!!! Ahhhh I’m so nervous and excited at the same time I probably won’t be able to sleep until the decision is posted since Penn State UP is my first choice!! To those who have been accepted, how many days after your status changed to coming days did you receive a decision?? To everyone else best of luck!!!

Anyone from DUS hear anything this week?

@Tooth1010 Not yet :frowning: Checking every 10 minutes or so :slight_smile:

@pnkmd join the club… ugh :confused:

@pinkmd‌ @Tooth1010‌ same here!

I know I started a different thread for this… but I’m anxious and need to know an answer! I did not put on my application that I’m taking a duel-enrollment English class at BYU because I was not taking it at the time I submitted my application in early September. Do you think it would be a good idea to call admissions and let them know? Would it help my application if I’m on the border?

@tooth1010 I asked this same question and they told me that they don’t consider 12th grade grades at all, regardless of whether it’s dual enroll or not. They told me it didn’t matter.

@Tooth1010‌ I applied DUS too and haven’t heard back yet. I’m so nervous!
