That’s the beginning of the email.

Is everyone getting the email? D just got it also. Not applying to leap though

Both my sons received same message today. They applied for summer 2020. (deep breath - can’t wait) Best of luck!

I have tried to find similar threads from previous years regarding the email, but can’t. Does anyone know if this email notice is new?

I checked and rechecked the accounts. No email. And nothing in spam. We applied for summer for HHD/Biobehavioral Health via Common App on 8/1 and haven’t heard a thing. However, now it appears the site is about to go through some kind of system maintenance tomorrow between 4:50 am and 7 am. I emailed a few weeks ago just to make the app was indeed complete and was assured everything was fine.

My D received the same email. The subject line said “The Wait Is Almost Over!” If the outcome will be a rejection, I don’t think it’s a good idea to present this type of subject line to our already anxious kids. Admissions receives so many applications that I’m doubtful they will care about my opinion, but just my 2 cents. Whatever the outcome is for everyone, wishing you all the best for your children!

My DD didn’t receive the email.

Emails sent out last year too. PSU 2023 waiting thread…email notices start @ #601.

I tracked a person last year that received the email on 12/14 but was deferred and ultimately accepted on 1/29. So it may not mean much.

D accepted 2+2 college of Engineering Harrisburg after receiving email earlier. Upsetting. What can you do.

@ace0919 : Behrend is excellent for Engineering, if you’re instate in particular. Congratulations it’s not an easy admit.

The email: they’re just trying to calm those who are impatient/looking forward to their decision.
The wait seems endless and then the decision’s there and you forget you waited.

DS admitted to Engineering for University Park with summer start.

Congratulations to all the recent acceptances! For those still waiting, we are rooting for you!

Has anyone yet heard of people being offered summer start who have applied for Fall? (I’ve seen some summer starts but wasn’t sure if that was requested or if PSU is beginning to roll out the summer offers in general).

Got accepted to University Park for Computer Science! didn’t do summer start

Just checked the portal and got accepted to University Park for Fall 2020 Aerospace Engineering! I applied EA 10/30.
Congrats to all that got accepted and I wish everyone luck to those that are still waiting!

I would like to say thanks for all the positive messages from the parents and students that are getting acceptance or waiting. It’s really a nice group of people. I hope my son gets into PSU so he is at a school with students like this! Good luck everyone its so stressful for the kids.
