So I just got off the wait list and was offered the Summer Session. I can’t believe I was notified this fast!!
@sgd1721 Congrats! Had you indicated you were open to the summer session when you applied?
Congrats, that’s great news!! @sgd1721!
Need I write? Still under review, EA since 8/15
Sigh
Same time same place tomorrow, still hopeful
Good luck to all still waiting for first answer, as we read posts of second decisions awarded that were requested in January
Defies logic and now clearly just not right
Continuing to wait, but now with eyes wide open ?to psu policies
???
@MyaCocoa yes I did
It is a guessing game at this point, but the good news is everyone will know sometime by next week.
Please ignore my last message. I meant to send this (not on this thread)……
Wasn’t Groundhog Day last week?
Update: S called admissions office again and was told that they are frantically reviewing applications and will be releasing many tomorrow (i.e., 12:01 AM) and Friday. S was told to call back if no decision was received by Monday, and they would look at it ASAP.
Not to be too much of a lawyer, but if you can prioritize applications like that, then why are there so many EA applicants that still haven’t heard (while others have received TWO decisions already)!? What an embarrassing mess. As mentioned, if any of the other 8 schools he was accepted to either had his intended major and/or weren’t inner city schools, we would have left the entire PSU process long, long, long ago…
Frustrating.
Update2: S’s admissions portal has changed from “application updated” (reflecting his preference for Summer) to the black hole message, i.e., “Your application is currently under review”…
Into the abyss yet again…
@PatLawyer thank you for sharing your info, helps pass the time still waiting to know it’s not my d’s application , it’s psu process that is sub par
Good luck , hope you get a good outcome soon
@PatLawyer there are small differences between applications that make a difference - some admission officers are clearly more efficient than others.
For example:
- major - all DUS/Smeal/Engineering/Arts & Architecture, etc. are not created equal - they each have their own AO.
- regional area - not all high schools are created equal. Regional AO’s know their “area” and they assist with the “equalization” of GPAs.
That doesn’t mean it is ok how much they’ve screwed the pooch this year, just giving you a reason why some are treated differently.
Hey guys. Finally I have an update to the annoying under review thing. It now says “your status has been updated. Please check again later.” Have you guys seen this before, how long do you think it’ll take?
@CalinAmry It said this in our portal at around 10 PM last Friday and at 12 AM Saturday it had the decision waiting in the portal. You should be getting a decision around midnight tonight I think. Don’t quote me on it though, PSU hasn’t been predictable lately.
I’m under review again. What the hell?
@CalinAmry Can’t be certain considering all of the confusion and inconsistency but the last time this happened with messages changing back and forth, multiple times, that insinuates that they are working on your application or have made a decision. Just a guess of course, but this happened to us and then we had the decision after midnight.
Still under review
Smh
@ziveli513 “Dislike”. Looks like the Wait List is continuing to move though. Looks like it’s going to be another loooooong day… week…
I’m wondering if PSU waitlisted to weed out serious candidates. Not that they looked at your application and waitlisted but waitlisted a lot of applications without looking at them to see who really wants PSU. Since it seems a lot of waitlisted people are finding out.
Good luck @MyaCocoa ! I saw another off wait list
Hope your son is next ???
@Psumom23 While I am happy for everyone who gets in, something seems fishy about the Wait List for sure.
@ziveli513 My gut says it’ll be weeks and weeks for us.
