🐾 Penn State 🐾 Early Action Class of 2030 Official Thread

My girl is in! DUS, Fall UP.

OOS, Competitive HS

Stats:

3.75 UW GPA (school doesn’t report wGPA)

1470 SAT

All but two of her classes were honors or AP.

She’s now going to have a very big decision to make. Good thing she has such a good head on her shoulders.

I’m very grateful that we didn’t have to wait too long for this decision. I’m not a patient person and my user name is apt. Best of luck and continued patience to all those who are still waiting!

My daughter’s best friend applied HHD and hasn’t heard anything yet either. I would be surprised if this friend wasn’t accepted given the stats, so maybe they just haven’t released anything yet?

The Portal Astrologists were right on with the prediction - 7:00 Test button went away. 12:00 am results in. Email was actually a little after that.

Are we expecting the notifications to continue daily or more likely in batches 1-2X per week?

Where is this mythical test score button that everyone is talking about? Can someone post a screen shot?

So far I’ve heard some of the following have received acceptances:

College of Agriculture

College of Engineering

College of Information & Technology

College of Minerals

Add DUS and Smeal (business) to that list.

Also, I think there have been a couple from CLA here.
