Hi CB1414, very sorry you were denied. It sounds like Arch is a very competitive program. My daughter also applied and is still waiting. Would you mind sharing your SAT/ACT and GPA? Thanks and good luck!! This is a tough process for sure.

@Jos7eph
I don’t think that you are most likely deferred because you have yet to be notified of a decision. Waiting is indeed hard.

Penn state is very high on my list so I was very relieved to receive the decision so soon :slight_smile:

The wait is so hard, but just because you are in the later group of people to be notified does not guarantee that you will be deferred/denied. I have yet to get a decision so I keep telling myself that. I applied 10/18. Just try to have hope.

@StJohn1 Congrats!!

My D (OOS) was accepted into Communications on 12/3 and I saw another Communications post for the same date. Those are the only two I’ve seen on the Forum so far, so not sure if they started with a specific major or group, but it seems like they’ve released very few so far. Good luck to all that are waiting!
