PSU (University Park) Class of 2019 Decision Thread

@Leyland, is there a 2015 Bubble Chart? Or were you looking at the one from 2010? That’s the only one I’ve seen. If there’s a new one, can you tell me where to find it?

In the last two days I have painted two rooms and tiled a wall. Just trying to keep busy and off of the refresh button! No ststus change yet…what else can I tile? :wink:

I have been reading CC for over 2 years and today is the first time I have ever posted. I think I am more nervous then my son, he is “expecting the worse, but hoping for the best”. At least there will be a decision. So many schools are deferring early action applicants this year! There appears to be a 1997 baby boom. PSU has been his dream since we first went to see it in 2013!!!

I applied for the college of engineering for architectural engineering in mid November. My status is still “reviewing your credentials”. I saw someone earlier posted that their daughter is also awaiting for the college of engineering and also has a low sat score like me. My gpa is 3.749, but my sat is sooooo low. I have taken several honors courses and 2 APs & have gotten pretty good grades in all of them. Im hoping i won’t get denied for UP just because of my sat score. I applied for the summer and Harrisburg as a backup. But UP is my dream campus and Penn State is the only college I would imagine attending!

24 hours since “coming days” message…Checking every 5 minutes. My son has no idea I am even posting here haha. I am supposed to be working!!

Anyone hear anything yet today?

PS- Did anyone lose any of the blue boxes on the right side of their screen when they got the “in coming days” status?

After coming days message, the blue boxes still there for Application Summary/Review, Transfer Course Evaluation and Schedule a Visit

@HockeyLaxguy same here! The one to apply to Schreyer went away on mine, so I guess I’m not alone…

Has anyone that applied to Smeal not hear anything yet?

I called this morning and all they could tell me was that I would know by the 31st. My status has not changed, should I be worried? I applied to Schreyers if that changes anything.

My daughter was accepted into engineering last night. Once the status changed to decision coming soon, the decision came the next night around 7:00 pm. Good luck to all who is still waiting. I can’t say I like how Penn State is handling sending out admission decisions.

I applied 11/10 and still haven’t heard. In State with a 3.40 and ACT of 27. Hoping to hear soon.

@wgeller lol I’m waiting for decision here too!

@Shlk423‌ @judyvegas‌ We also got coming days status last night. DUS with summer option. Good Gpa but low scores. I’m seeing a trend. Hopefully it means they are looking at summer applicants??

@laurienj @judyvegas‌ Hopefully a good trend!!!

@laurienj‌ @Shlk423‌ @judyvegas‌ I’m DUS and Summer too, no status change yet.

@htc2032 son applied to Smeal and no status change. very very very frustrating, particularly if it is a rejection bc one would think that they could get the rejections out before letting so many others know of acceptances. Is it necessary to wait until the last possible moment to send a rejection? My son did not put an alternate campus or summer start because he can not do a summer start and does not want alternate campus…

@chrisf not to worry it is probably all just random and depends on who is reading the apps!!! We are all trying to figure out a process that has been driving people crazy for years!!! The good news is that you will know by the 31st and none of this deferral crap that other schools are pulling! Good Luck

My son applied to Smeal for Finance on 10/13… still have “We are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.” 3.6 GPA 1740 SATs All APs and honor courses… Also applied to UDel 10/13 for finance and have not heard from them either! Just wanna hear from someone, anyone… Live in PA.

@jmom13 I am in the same situation, with scores of 1740 SAT and 4.0 gpa. Also applied for Finance major.
