@Propinquity , yes, I would call and double check. It is always possible that such a switch made something funky.
@collegegirl2023 - My son applied EA (9/5), and his portal still says Early Action - Yes, and has the deferred message. I am shocked that there has not been any new posts about students receiving replies since Admissions returned on 1/2/19. It has been radio silence this week. I just donât know how they will go through all these applications by 1/31.
Deferred to priority status and was informed on portal will hear back by Jan 31. Early action status shows âyesâ and also the message now reads âYour application is currently under review. We have received everything required to complete your application. Once a decision is made, it will be posted hereâ
Anyone else who was placed in priority has this message now? if anyone has recd admitted status after Jan 2 2019 pls post
@ppxyz123 our one shows the old message deferred to priority status⊠When did you message change?
I just checked the portal and no update again. Also I still have the old message deferred to priority status. PSU states that they have been rolling out decisions since they came back from break but I agree that I havenât heard of anyone hearing back since then. Iâm so confused as to whatâs going on.
DCâs portal changed from the deferred message to âunder reviewâ around Jan 3rd (in December it was always being verified, never under review).
Had a short flurry of excitement a couple days ago when the picture changed to the Nittany Lion, and there was a message to log on the next day for an update and ânext stepsâ. Happened right after the portal was down on Monday morning. Then everything switched back to âunder reviewâ with the same old picture. Obviously never got any update. The whole thing just seems odd.
@AAA124555 it changed around Jan 3rd or so
My d still has early action yes and deferred to 1/31 group message!
(completed application under review since 8/15)
Her stats give her very reasonable expectation to be admitted so we are hopeful still
Early action mess has unfortunately now resulted in us waiting longer for decision than if she applied regular decision in past!
Oh well, we wait and hope ? good luck to all who wait here
Out of curiosity, those that are still waiting and have been deferred (with reference to 1/31 deadline on the MyPennState page), did you submit the application direct to Penn State or was it part of the Common Application submission? We have no 1/31 deadline reference on our page and submitted EA direct to PSU back in October prior to the deadline.
Direct to penn state, submitted 8/6, marked complete and under review by 8/15 ?
Submitted 8/11 direct to Penn State - Architecture Major
Daughter applied in mid-August via the Common App. Still no wordâŠ
Sure seems like penn state, excellent national reputation, big school that is aware they get tons of applicants, would have been prepared for very high number of applications since they decided to add early action and common application
Excellent reputation, Expensive in state tuition, as parents I think we reasonably expected better organized admissions process
Getting message early action result on portal 12/22 and then in letter being deferred to 1/31 just because of high volume of applications was very disappointing
Am now hoping they donât end up going past the 1/31 deadline, how overwhelmed they are we donât know yet
Fingers crossed ?
Direct to Penn State. Submitted on 9/6. - DUS
Direct to Penn state. Submitted 8/31 Still waiting. DUS
Direct to Penn State. Submitted 10/29 for Early Action-Liberal Arts
Direct to Penn State in mid September- Engineering
We applied for Eberly by common app in mid-October.
S applied on August 8th, application was marked complete and under review within 2 weeks, message remains âdeferredâ, no change since before the holiday. Applied to Engineering school, Schreyerâs Honors and Millennium Honors Program.
yes I applied Early Action end of Oct. Received the acceptance on Jan 8 morning. I think everybody that applied EA should get a decision by Jan 31 as promised. Good Luck !
