<p>This is my son’s first choice but of course he’s applied to other schools. Why is it that Penn State is the only school to want transcripts sent by snail mail? I would think that a university as large as this (and in this day and age) would want them to be sent electronically. His guidance counselor sent them a week ago but the status hasn’t changed from “we need your transcripts”. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Krissy it took exactly a week from NJ…good luck!</p>
<p>D requested transcripts from school yesterday. Today we have the following status:</p>
<p>Your application and high school transcript have been received. Please continue to check your status.</p>
<p>I’m worried that the status is wrong. Doesn’t seem likely that the school reacted immediately or that Penn State did. I’m not even sure if they are able to fax the transcripts or attach to an email. Snail mail wouldn’t have gotten there so soon. I’m guessing Pitt wouldn’t/couldn’t have shared them with PSU even though they are in the same state school system.</p>
<p>We’ll keep checking!!!</p>
<p>Pitt and Penn State are operated completely separately, and would not have shared anything.</p>
<p>Emailed them about when decisions would be made and got this:</p>
<p>“If you apply by November 30th , you will hear no later than the end of January. We have already began to make offers for our campuses and will begin with University Park shortly.”</p>
<p>The wait is KILLING us!!!</p>
<p>11/1 status</p>
<p>We are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.</p>
<p>Got the coming days status change today! “We are confirming our review and an admissions decision will be posted here in the coming days.”</p>
<p>So jealous! Hope you hear soon - for my older daughter who is a sophomore we got the coming days status on a Friday and she was accepted just after midnight Sunday-Monday. That year midnight was when they posted the changes! Good luck, finding out this early is a good sign! Congrats!</p>
<p>So jealous! Still no change here. I can’t wait much longer haha.</p>
<p>Hang on guys! My daughter heard on January 21st. You might have a bit of a wait.</p>
<p>When did she apply?</p>
<p>September 1, 2009 for fall of 2010.</p>
<p>My daughter also heard January 21st-but it was 2011. She also applied at the very beginning of Sept. It seemed that top students found out in late fall. Those sent to a branch campus started to find out before the holidays too. Students like my daughter (accepted Fall UP with a 3.8 and 27 ACT) found out late January, and students accepted to summer found out in Feb. (I’m going by memory here, so I could be a little off). Also, different colleges within Penn State seemed to accept at different times. My daughter was College of Health and Human Development. Good luck to all-some of us may have a long wait ahead, but others may know very soon!</p>
<p>i designated on the application that i’ll be applying to schreyer, but i haven’t submitted the honors supplement just yet. do you guys think that psu wont release a decision until i submit my schreyer supplement, or would they come independently of each other? by the way, i’m in the “top 25%” of their stats for sat and gpa, so i’m not sure if that has any significance in the application process</p>
<p>My daughter was also Health and Human Development.</p>
<p>Going through paperwork from last year, found hard copy letter of acceptance dated 11/10/11. It looks like completed application was printed for personal records on 10/24/11 – may have applied earlier. </p>
<p>GPA 4.4(w) </p>
<p>Bearpride10 - I believe the process is Penn State application/acceptance first, then Schreyer Honors. Schreyer decisions came out early March.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Our son applied in late November 2009 and heard around Christmas–it was pretty quick!!</p>
<p>D’s timetable: applied 2nd week of Sept. GC sent his items at least 2 weeks later. Got the status update that everything was rec’d mid-Oct. Another status change in between then the “coming days” one yesterday. No power here (NJ) so checking status here and there when I run the generator. Hoping to hear by Mon!</p>
<p>Not sure when it changed (sometime in the last two days) but I have the “coming days” status now!</p>
