<p>i applied september first and my status eventually changed to something like "we have received all your materials." now in the last day or two I noticed it changed again to something like "we are now reviewing your application. a decision will be here once one has been made." so I ask you, around what time does that start happening? just curious because I keep checking every second and it is annoying lol... so if this is definitely a waste of time until like November then I'd like to know. Thanks!</p>
<p>You want it to say something about a decision posted in the coming days, and then it’s about 48 hrs to a yes or no. As has been discussed endlessly, decisions come out in bunches in no discernable order. Strongest applicants tend to be admitted by lateNovember but that’s got lots of exceptions. My sons both applied in the first week of Sept-- one was admitted right before thanksgiving, the other in mid January. The status is only updated once a day, and last year many CCers reported getting their letter before the status changed online. </p>
<p>You are on hold. Try to relax, it might be a while. Or it might be a coupleweeks! Welcome to penn State</p>
<p>Until your message tells you that they’ve reached a decision and you will receive it in the coming days, nothing will happen. When you get the Colin days screen, it’s 3 business days. That’s the stressful part. I got mine on a Thursday so I had to wait the whole weekend to find out. The messages will refresh a little after midnight every morning if it is supposed to change</p>
