Waiting for Decisions - Penn State Class of 2024

I had not seen many liberal arts decisions either but my daughter just got her acceptance from liberal arts in last night’s midnight update.

We are so relieved that the waiting is over. Good luck!

Accepted today liberal arts/criminology at UP! good luck to all!!!

Daughter is still waiting. Ugh. College of Agriculture. She did get an email today from College of Ag urging her to apply for scholarships, but guessing that is just automatically generated. Think we’ll wait to apply for a scholarship to see if she actually gets in! :wink:

Still waiting for an admission decision from Smeal. Must have checked the portal about 15 times today

Daughter got acceptance this morning. Majoring in nutrition science.
GPA 3.7
ACT 29
Good luck to all that are still waiting.

Has anyone heard for summer session?

My DS was accepted on 11/21 for Engineering and requested the summer session so he could do the LEAP program.

Overnight acceptance to College of Agricultural Science!!! Committed as soon as I saw the portal update. Immunology and Infectious Disease major. Good luck to everyone!

@sea2024 , I loved reading your post. I could feel your excitement and I’m so happy for you. Congratulations!

If 2 people out of 4 applying from my high school heard back does that mean that the other 2 are more likely to get denied? Has any denials been sent out yet?

Daughter accepted today into University Park- nutritional science!

Hi is it okay if I know your stats because I also applied and my GPA is nothing compared to high stats students and I’m really afraid that I’m going to just get denied.

@calyn23 Hi is it okay if I know your stats because I also applied and my GPA is nothing compared to high stats students and I’m really afraid that I’m going to just get denied.

I’ve been happy to see some kids with SAT in the 1200s start to receive acceptances. ?

Nothing like an error message to get one’s hopes up (and then down ?) when you login like you have 10x per day only to this time see an error message:

“A record in CPR was not found for login XXXXXXX and psu_id=, please try to login again and if it continues to fail, contact the Admissions office for assistance.”

At first I got excited thinking it could mean something good, then I thought “maybe maintenance by PSU.” But then it occurred to me that not recognizing a login could be a step towards an admissions denial.

I’ll try to skip that mindset since they may not add denials into the portals this early, and an offer of a Commonwealth Campus is way more likely.

Okay, now I feel better. Thanks for listening. ?

@Oceanisle I received the same message and had similar thoughts. Im going with the thought that they sent out so many acceptances this morning that the system crashed:)

@fla946 , I LIKE your thinking! ? I just came back here to see if others are getting the same message, bc I know folks are checking for overnight portal updates. ?

Also, what’s everyone’s guess on how often PSU is updating portals at this juncture?

Im thinking twice a day…but it is a mystery. I would like to hear soon as each day my son is applying to more colleges and each application is really adding up…I think he is in panic mode. My daughter heard right before Christmas two years ago and from what she said many hear those few days before Christmas. Im banking on that!

We also received that error message this morning. Hoping that’s a good sign…

Getting the same error message as you @OceanIsle I wouldn’t go negative on the meaning! :smiley: Denials wouldn’t mean they delete your ID–I imagine even if denied, you will be able to log in for the duration of the admissions time. Let’s think positive! I like @fla946 scenario.
