2023 PSU Waiting for Decisions

Your application has been updated . Please check back soon for a status update .

This is what my sons account sys now . Still waiting .

Son was waitlisted today. Glad he had already changed his mind, but still pretty surprising and disappointing when other students from his school with lower grades & scores were at the very least admitted 2+2 back in December.

Omg. New message here too saying your status has been updated. Check back later

Paraphrasing because it shocked me

We have just received the status that our application has been updated as well and to check back. Does anyone know if that’s the message that was received before you get waitlisted?

SAME MESSAGE …Your application has been updated. Please check back soon for a status update.

no idea. i looked and it was just there. we might have been the first wave. they’re probably doing this so the portal doesn’t crash

I need a drink. Hope the updating soon is actually soon

Mine says the check back soon for a status update. Oof I’m gonna be checking back every two minutes.

Would this be a bad time to mention that UP officially closed the campus at 1pm today due to ice? Hope that doesn’t delay things for y’all.

This is just maddening waiting for everyone to hear. I’ll be back at it next year with another kiddo.

@LM3232 we are in the same position and I will also be re-checking like a fiend.

Is it just coincidence that no one has said they were accepted, only waitlist posts so far?

Watch it not be updated for a day lol. I’d cry. @Mominmich

@pama3115 Honestly I think this year we are gonna see a lot more waitlists cause of such the high volume. I bet it’s gonna be a much lower acceptance rate.

I just noticed that the Financial Aid Info Box updated too with a message that was not there prior to the application updating message. Basically says to please submit Fafsa application.

@sagh527 , call tomorrow and see if you can be reconsidered for DUS (undecided) with a summer start.

Wait list is not a denied, there is still hope if I understand correctly?
In this year with overwhelming number of applications it’s possible many have been admitted with high stats who won’t accept (and they have until 5/1)

Those with stats that fall in range of enrolled students shown on the latest CDS, not just admitted students, don’t lose hope

If psu is your top choice it may be worth waiting for on UP wait list

Those that were waitlisted, did you see the application updated message first or just the waitlist decision???

How is everyone getting their decisions? Did you apply in rolling admissions? Isn’t the decision date 1/31? Or is it that for international students?
Sorry I’m new here

Waitlisted this afternoon as well. We did not check earlier so not sure if there was a prior update message in advance of the waitlist decision.

Anyone else’s portal taking a super long time to load? Wondering if it’s gonna crash again…
