<p>Just wondering... now that the Holidays are over, anyone heard from Admissions office? I've been waiting for almost 4 months now.</p>
<p>My son is still waiting to hear also. He had everthing in to Penn by the end of Sept. Similiar SAT scores as coolgebound. ( about 1900)90 W GPA. Good ec's and work experience. He didn't put down summer session or 2nd choice campus. Will they offer that anyway? Penn state UP is where he really wants to go. Good luck to those who have been accepted and hopefully those of us who are waiting will get a postive response soon.</p>
<p>Still waiting, as well........3.45UW (our school doesn't rank), it's probably around a
3.75 (Weighed) with a 1780 SAT. My application was in early to mid October....maybe this week, we'll hear one way or the other.</p>

They will not offer it anyway. He will either get into Fall (if he makes it) or get rejected.</p>
<p>waiting patientily...ok maybe a little impatiently...I have a 1310 SAT and a a 4.27. I applied to Smeal and I'm dying to find out. They said us early applicants will find out by the 31st, but I'm just not sure.</p>
<p>Anyone hear yet since break at all? doesn't seem as though they've let out any decisions yet...or so it seems through this board and other people that I have spoken to.</p>
<p>It took me like 2 weeks, i got word back in last november</p>
<p>i agree summer271 no word yet after break...</p>
<p>Still waiting.
I got that email before break saying they'll release it by Jan 31.
And I submitted my app way early.
Ugh.</p>
<p>On College board it says the priority notification deadline is nov 30. I missed this by one day (submitted the app on dec 1st). Anyone know how much longer it will take to hear back</p>
<p>Nobody from my daughter's school has heard since break ended. I believe they will let all priority applicants know by Jan. 30. If you look back into last year's achives of this board, many kids did not hear until the very end of January.</p>
<p>I called before break.My son applied in Sep. to Smeal. I was told that the apps were divided into pre-Nov. 30 and post Nov. 30 and everyone who applied before Nov. 30 will know by January 30. From what I've heard from parents who've been through this, this is not PSU's usual m.o. Previously, there were more of a true rolling admissions so someone applying in Sept. would have known by November. We were also told this at a college fair and on the campus visit. The problem seems to be that this year, due to the economy, not only did they receive a much higher # of applicants to Smeal because of kids choosing public over private but also the stats of the apps were also higher than normal too. (suspected that and it was confirmed from a very reliable source) Trust me, that bit of news did nothing to ease my worries.</p>
<p>My gut is telling me that they're going to do a mass mailing.</p>
<p>yeah and i don't think we will get that mass mail until mid-end of january. that's when a lot of people from my school found out last year</p>
<p>i just got my acceptance about ten minutes ago.</p>
<p>Out of state from NJ
GPA 3.46 W

<p>I applied mid october</p>
<p>all the materials have to be there by nov 30, it wasnt a submittal deadline</p>
<p>mrfish, did you receive your acceptance letter or email today as well?</p>
<p>congratulations mrfish! did you get a letter or check online</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> STILL waiting, and i've sent it in late october...</p>
