Penn State Early Action for Fall 2024 Admissions

we chose Altoona, 40 minutes from UP…

When you call the admissions number - it will say for reconsideration send email to … I don’t remember what the email was but you actually don’t have to talk to anyone. Good luck

Congrats to you!!! :tada:

I think you have a good chance of getting in! If I were you though, I would be most worried about the course rigor since you didn’t take any APs or submitted any test scores. But that also depends on whether your school offers a lot of AP classes or not. I only started taking my 3 APs this year (12th) and I wouldn’t consider my course rigor very good compared to others, but I was admitted to UP for psychology. Your GPA is high so that’s a plus, along with the college courses that you took. Obviously I’m not an expert at this! Best of luck to you :slight_smile:

A wise friend on this board made a good point…they will release deferrals late Friday, so that the office is closed after and you can’t call them. Sort of the way a company reports bad news on a Friday before a holiday weekend. Just a thought. Trending there.

Can I ask what you mean by “TO button disappeared”?

Just noticed on common data set that essays are “considered” for pre-med only. Have there been any pre-med admits yet? Or, were they all deferred to give PSU extra time to read essays? Totally understand them having to prioritize somehow with the increase in applications.

I personally know 2 people who were admitted pre-med last month.

The way it goes is if you look at your portal, on the left hand side you will see a navigation. Most of the way down in that navigation is the ability to change your test optional choice. If it is there, they have not actually made any decision. If it is gone, they have. People have found themes for when this disappears and will go on and check. However, I think the time of day really fluxuates. Then if it is gone, instead of waiting for the status change to tell you if you got in, they go into lionpath and see if an acceptance is there. If you wait just a few hours, your portal will have the letter there as well.

Thank you! My daughter applied for nursing and has yet to hear…soooo much anxiety over this!

Was able to still log in

There are a few of us who haven’t heard anything. I thought if not UP mine would get altoona now I’m :woman_shrugging:t2::face_with_spiral_eyes:

My daughter doesn’t know anyone who has received notice about nursing

My TO button is still there and I cant login to lion path.

I’m not sure I’ll get a response before Friday but I emailed admissions trying to get confirmation that am being considered as part of EA. Everything is complete and was in on time but have seen at other schools where kids thought they were EA but fell to RD because of issues with SRAR.
