<p>I still haven’t heard yet either and my status hasn’t changed. Smeal is going to be really hard to get into. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>mine does not say coming days… is this a bad sign??? my stats arfe 25 act 3.91 w gpa honors anbd varisity cheer and captain applied undecided for summer</p>
<p>I got my “in coming days” status a few days ago and the picture changed to the university park campus. I should hopefully hear any day now…</p>
<p>DasWitty-so lucky! what are your stats if you don’t mind me asking?</p>
<p>My status changed to “coming days” today. I just got so much more nervous.</p>
<p>can i ask what your stats were? those who got the “coming days” status</p>
<p>I have a 4.183 GPA and a 2160 composite SAT. In state. I have a pretty good activities resume as well (even though PSU is mostly numbers driven) and my dad went there so I’m legacy. Also, I checked off for summer 2012. I’m hoping for good news…and soon! The wait was killing me. I had all of my things in on September 19th. Good luck everyone!!</p>

<p>I applied around the middle/end of September. I can’t remember exactly when. Penn isn’t my number one school, so I’m still debating applying to the honors college because I don’t want to end up getting in and not going–I wouldn’t want to take someone’s place.</p>
<p>my gpa is only slightly lower than yours and my sat is pretty close, too. so hopefully I hear soon. I just can’t stand the wait.</p>
<p>if i applied a little less than two weeks ago…is there any chance I could hear back by the end of the week? (assuming my stats are above average) has any ever heard back in 2 weeks?</p>
<p>Shansull: waiting is the worst! Now is even worse because I know it’s coming soon. As long as you applied early and your stats are above average I would think you should hear this month.</p>
<p>xxtlgxx: if your stats are very high I suppose it could be possible, but I would doubt it. Although, you may hear sometime this month. Usually the ones with the highest stats hear first. Good luck!</p>
<p>I know normally you get the physical letter before it updates online, but I can’t stop checking the website every half hour! It’s awful! Actually, the alumni officer who came to my school said I should be hearing middle of this month, so maybe it’s just teasing me.</p>
<p>usually once your status changes to coming days you get the letter within 3-5 days, at least from what I’ve seen. you’ll probably know by Friday. you should be happy you’re one of the lucky ones!</p>
<p>another quick question. I submitted my app and transcript mid September but had to wait to send my sats until I got my October results back. would they not start reviewing my app until after they got my official sats?</p>
<p>I just looked on the facebook page and the admissions officer said that people usually receive the letter after a decision is posted online, but I think they only update the website once a day (in the morning) so don’t drive yourself crazy! I still check multiple times a day though haha.</p>
<p>I think they wait until they have your entire application with transcripts and test scores before they review it, but I could be wrong. You can call admissions they’re really nice and helpful.</p>
<p>when you are on the penn state website it will tell you when they are ready to review your app. They will not review until they have everything.</p>
<p>In a previous year, my daughter got the letter first and then it was updated online.</p>
<p>Just by chance refreshed the page and there was my acceptance! I’m thinking the letter will come within the next 1-2 days.</p>
<p>I got my acceptance this morning too online! Smeal college of business summer 2012!</p>
