SAT 2120
GPA 3.95
Date of Application: Late September
Out of State</p>
<p>Is it true that PSU only updates its system once a day around 8 am (so if the status hasn’t changed at 8 am, it’s not worth checking until the next day)?</p>
<p>I’m getting so frustrated. So many people at my school heard either yesterday or today like 20 of them, and my status still says the “when one is made.” it’s clearly not rolling admissions since I sent the application on Sept 1.</p>
<p>samee! but im reading all these threads and barely anyone is getting into smeal…seems like theyre taking forever!</p>
<p>I know that’s what I’ve seen too!! I’m going for nursing and I don’t of anyone that got accepted for that yet.</p>
<p>YESSS!! ACCEPTED TO EBERLY COLLEGE OF SClENCE, MAIN CAMPUS!!!</p>
<p>Seems like all of the Eberly acceptances are going out. Hopefully Smeal is next!</p>
<p>megsshrubs: yeah my good friend applied for nursing and she got accepted to PITT for it so im assuming UP is just being really slow with Smeal and nursing. hurry uppppp!</p>
