<p>My S applied in mid-Sept. for Fall 08 admission. We have been checking his status daily on My Penn State and it still says that his application is under review. He has already been accepted at Pitt, Ohio State and Michigan State. I wonder why Penn State is taking so long. Should we call the admissions office to find out?</p>
<p>did he apply for Shreyer? 2+ months is awfully long, but I think PSU admissions may look at applications that Shreyers needs to process first.</p>
<p>My S applied mid-October and his status changed just this morning, 12/10, to read the "We've made a decision" message. So I don't think 2 months is unusual (although it was a long time for me!). If you applied by 11/30, they promised a decision by 1/31 and that's all the promises they made. So now we wait for the snail mail . . .</p>
<p>One of my friends sent his application on 12/1, do you think they will include that in the "priority application" pile and give his decision by 1/31 or what?</p>
<p>slugger - nope. they wont.</p>
<p>udbluehen - youll know by jan 31 at the latest.</p>
<p>yeah slugger, looks like YOU're gonna have to wait it out a bit longer!</p>
<p>im gonna have to wait longer too, it stinks!</p>
<p>why lbabyxo? did you not apply by nov 31? because if you did, you will most definitely hear back by the end of this month. (as im sure you are already aware of.)</p>
<p>yes i am. its just nerve racking. im sure it is for you too. waiting EVERY DAY hoping something comeS!</p>
<p>yeah but dont worry we will find out someday!</p>
<p>courtney it must stink having to go through this all over again</p>
<p>you have no idea haha. especially b/c i cant check my application status online. my decision couldve been made today and mailed today, or it could be mailed next month. they didnt even give me an estimate.</p>
<p>tedious really. especially the second time around.</p>
<p><em>hides and cries in corner</em></p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I checked My Penn State this morning and my son's application status has finally changed. They said they made a decision on 1/14/08 and he will receive it in the mail within 2 weeks. I hope it will be good news!</p>
<p>what is ur sons gpa/sat if u mind me asking</p>
<p>3.8 gpa, 1220 SAT</p>
<p>oh, well he was totallyyyyyy accepted !</p>
<p>i emailed psu today asking if they would like me to send my mid year grades in to help them reconsider me .. and they said no, i'll be getting a decision in the near future :)</p>
<p>Best of luck to you!</p>
