PSU (University Park) Class of 2019 Decision Thread

<p>We’re OOS also, S undeclared, same status forever, ACT 30, GPA w 3.54. No word yet here either.</p>

<p>I submitted my app Nov 15 and sent everything in that same day (SAT and TOEFL) however, my app said that the materials were still not there, so I emailed admissions and they said they were very busy but that they would try to update it as soon as possible and they did so today. So my question is, how long after they update and say your application is complete do they reply? </p>

<p>Do you get notified by e-mail or do you have to keep checking my penn-state to see your response? </p>

<p>@legallypink‌ It took about 1.5 weeks for me to get a reply, and they don’t email you, you need to keep checking the my penn-state page.
The messages usually go like this:
We have received all required materials.
Your application is complete.
We are reviewing your credentials.
and finally,
You’re decision will be posted here in the coming days.</p>

<p>For me they there was also a message saying that I should expect a decision in 4-6 weeks, but I’ve heard thats not the case for everyone and I actually heard back from them in just 10 days after they said my application was complete.</p>

I’m not super happy about summer, but I will definitely be attending Penn State! </p>

<p>I was accepted into University of Pittsburgh 2 months ago, and they were my first choice for awhile, but PSU slowly captured my heart :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Aqua, you will love summer session! when the fall freshmen are wandering round, overwhelmed, you’ll feel like a pro – and you’ll have an edge on scheduling! There’s baseball, Arts Fest, one of the country’s best fireworks displays, pools, IM, smaller classes, … truly, you will enjoy those 6 weeks, especially if you are a LEAPer. </p>

<p>I hope so! However I just changed my major and realized they accepted me for engineering, just in the Health and Human Development school, so I need to fix that because I want to go for biobehavioral health n</p>
