<p>I submitted the application by 9/5, and my SAT scores and transcripts were received no later than 9/20. My transcripts were the last piece submitted. However, when they received my transcript it now says "We have received you're high school transcript and application. Please keep checking your status" instead of others who have "Your application is complete. A decision will be made when one is made." Does anyone know why this could be?</p>
<p>From PSU site:
Status #3. “Your application and high school transcript have been received. Please continue to check your status.”
Good news! Penn State has received everything, but we are still validating your application items, specifically your transcript. We have to evaluate your transcript to determine if you have met the admission requirements for your desired program, which is why we tell you to “continue to check your status” – your application may not be considered complete after review of the transcript. Sometimes, we have to change a student’s desired program based on the fact he or she may not have completed all of the required coursework in high school, and we don’t know that until we thoroughly check the transcript.</p>

<p>Thank you. Do you think it’s normal how long they’re taking to verify everything though? It’s been taking almost two weeks for me, when that status seemed to be up for only a few days for others.</p>
<p>nittanylion, I had all materials in by 9/19 and I have had the same status since then: “We have received you’re high school transcript and application. Please keep checking your status”. Applied to Eberly. I am sure they have many apps to go thru to confirm that the HS reqs are met. I will post here when I see a change. </p>
<p>I think it depends on the program/college you applied to. My daughter applied DUS, so I don’t think there was much to verify in that. Just that her transcripts were complete and that she’d taken the right courses to graduate. Other schools within PSU might have a 4 year math requirement or something like that. Each applicant has to meet the program minimums to apply. My D applied 9/1. By 9/8 she was in the “your credentials are being reviewed” process, but nothing has changed since then. Next will be “coming days” status, but that could be anywhere from now until January! It’s hard to wait. </p>
<p>nittanylion,
I had the same staus for a few weeks. I just saw that it changed to “We are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.” It probably changed yesterday. All material</p>
