๐Ÿพ Penn State ๐Ÿพ Early Action Class of 2030 Official Thread

do we think more decisions will be released tonight?

I hope so!

Our son applied summer only for ChemE and the wait is killing me, he seems to be doing just fine thankfully.

Heโ€™s been accepted to Pitt & Delaware for a few weeks now, and received a partial scholarship from Delaware this week. Penn State UP is his #1 choice.

I think there is plenty of time! My son is a sophomore. He had many friends that got in DUS 2 years ago and did not hear until mid December. He did not hear until late December. It is still very early for PSU!

Did he indicate willingness to attend Summer session?

yes he did. He got 2 + 2 originally for Smeal on Dec. 20 then asked for reconsideration. He got Fall UP DUS a few weeks into January.

Of his several friends that got DUS in mid December, 4 of them got summer and 2 got Fall.

My son chose Summer start so I am really hoping he gets that and not 2 plus 2.

My son applied for Summer too. I wonder if that is why it is taking longer?

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the detail you have provided as well as the vote of confidence!

Congratulations! This is helpful, as I noticed the admitted stats are creeping more towards my sonโ€™s with each wave. (3.7 UW, 1440), all same classes. But, he chose summer so not sure if that makes a difference timewise.

Maybe today the day

@rdelvecc @bschops8 there will still be many 2+2 decisions released. But the obvious โ€œeasy to 2+2โ€ ones have been made.

Think of a big bell curve. They deal with the tails first - the easy admits and the easy 2+2. Everyone else - in the middle - is still in the game (until they arenโ€™t). My point - that I so inelegantly made - is that you are still in the middle with a chance. Take that as good news!

Good luck to all-

Do we anticipate anything today?

almost 7pm. anyone have their button removed?

My son just got his acceptance notification to the Eberly College of Science. He submitted his application on Oct. 18. He is OOS, SAT1470, Weighted GPA 4.12, 4 AP classes with 5, and 3 more in senior year. This is his first admission and a big sigh of relief. He also applied for Wisconsin, Purdue, Ohio State, Maryland and UW Seattle.
