PSU (University Park) Class of 2019 Decision Thread

Status just changed to “coming days”!! & UP picture stayed the same (if that means anything)!! My heart is pounding!! So nervous!! Fingers are crossed!!

Anyone know if they been updating only once a day?

D accepted for summer undeclared. She was borderline fall which we suspected. It was about 24 hours from when the status changed … Good luck all!

@jlhpsu‌ I think they only update it in morning and evening… Their hours are from 8am-5pm, but I think most statuses update around 7pm or in the morning. I am in the Penn State Class of 2019 closed group on Facebook and that is what other kids are saying! If it helps some more, since DUS people are finally getting “coming days” status, I have been waiting for something to change just as long as you! I am on pins and needles because PSU has one of the best Air Force ROTC programs and I want to serve my country. PSU is my best option because I want to stay in PA. Hoping they update tomorrow for more DUS people!

So are people also getting rejected or are they saving them all for the end

@sunnyjames65‌ I have seen some denials on both Facebook (mainly people saying they got into a branch campus even though their first choice was UP) and a few on here. I am a part of the Penn State Class of 2019 closed group! :">

Accepted Summer Health and Human Development!! Applied early Sept. SAT 1790 GPA 3.7. Good luck to everyone!

@judyvegas‌ yea!!
Still waiting here for a status change here. Can you believe it!? Lol! I just have to laugh or I’d cry!

Are there still a lot of people without status changes or is my D the only one!?

@jlhpsu We’re still waiting too. I’m starting to think my S’s application is lost somewhere!

Has anyone heard of anyone rejected today? I am nervous that all of those updated today may not be great news bc tons were updated this morning and accepted tonight…don’t know of any rejections…

My son applied to Smeal in early Oct. His status has been “reviewing your credentials” for weeks. He received the e-mail below this morning (at the same address he used for his application). Anyone also get this? Is this a positive sign? This sounds like an online chat for juniors in high school. Confused.

@jlhpsu @pinkmd @cbpmom For what it’s worth, you’re not alone. Patience is a virtue…never found in the parent of a college applicant. (“God grant me patience. But hurry!”)

My OOS son applied mid November and still has the credentials message. The only other school he has not heard from is UT Austin. He applied to Smeal - ACT 29, 3.5 UW GPA, state level varsity athlete, great community service, etc, not that it matters apparently. We have not visited the campus, but don’t know if they even track that.

after looking at this thread for months, im finally posting and happy to say that…

I was accepted for DUS Fall 2015!!!

gpa: 3.8 W// 3.3 UW
act: 28

female
NJ

im so happy, everyone whos still waiting, I know how you feel, just keep being positive it will all work out in the end!!!

@nuum83 we have not visited either…are others in your sons school waiting or have they heard?

@ellenJwraith I got that tonight too. Same as you. Smeal, reviewing credentials then the email today.

his two friends from our IL HS have not heard yet either.

Our status changed about an hour ago to final stages! Closure coming soon! I am so proud of her and wish her the best! A long journey from early fall! Good luck to everyone - this reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Golden Ticket…

My D’s status changed about an hour ago as well. No change in picture, but that is not reliable this year. Her friend was just accepted to Altoona and his picture never changed to Altoona until his final acceptance message. The next 24-48 hours are going to be crazy around here!

I was curious about the pic as well - still the same.
