Penn State Early Action for Fall 2024 Admissions

They sent mine an email too suggesting based on his academics he should apply so before he did it I called and asked the honors college if the invitation was a random email, she said it is only sent to kids that are top 10% ranking of their class based on the school report’s received so he spent all of thanksgiving doing it. Now it will suck if he gets rejected from admissions this month.

They already released for today at 8am. Is she talking about tonight batch?

That’s good to know. I had no idea how they decided and had no idea my son was in the top 10% at his school

That what the admissions woman in the honors college said. My son is at the top of his class because his guidance counselor told us when we were asking about which colleges he had the best chances to get accepted. But honestly when it comes to the business schools it’s a wild ride. Penn State is at the top of his list so we are praying this works out for him but we are prepared for it not to as it’s been taking so long now we’re losing hope that it’s good news.

My son’s school didn’t rank him so I had no clue. He’s OOS trying for UP DUS. He won’t say but I’m willing to bet PSU is his first choice.

Hi there,

Congrats again on your daughter making into nursing! Would you be willing to provide your daughter’s stats? I am interested in determining whether my daughter has a chance of being accepted into the nursing program. LOL! It is her top choice, but I am aware that it’s of the most competitive programs. She was accepted into PITT’s nursing program so far:) Waiting on all others.
Thanks!

Here’s to praying!

DD was accepted this morning!

OOS Exploratory Studies
4.3 weighted, 4.0 unweighted
test optional
Exceptional ECs
Most classes honors, dual enrollment or AP

Application completed 10/30. Stated she was willing to start summer. Accepted for fall enrollment at UP.

Psychology!

Could someone please post the link and the exact steps on what to do for the site so we can check there tonight ? Example : are they using their password and user name they have for the portal etc
Much appreciated !

Ugh … we are Psych too and didn’t hear yet . We are high Stats too … this waiting stinks ! Lol

Yes, it really does!!! Do you mind if I ask how many AP/honors courses you took? Course rigor is the one thing I’m worrying about for myself… Wishing you the best of luck!

Just check lionpath.psu.edu after 7pm eastern daily. This updates before the portal. If you get access to lionpath you know you were accepted. Only accepted students have access to this site. Around 730 eastern, there will also be the acceptance letter on the “communications” tab.

Of course! D had a 34 ACT, attends an all honors HS, 4.0, tons of strong nursing/healthcare ecs, EMT. Anatomy/physiology, Nutrition, Public Health classes, etc…No question this is a pre-med or nursing applicant if read her application-meaning, strong fit-to-major. Also, in at Pitt!! See you there??! :grinning:

Yes. Lionpath uses same credentials as portal.
