Waiting patiently:)

So my daughter has access to LionPath (yay!!). However, she took a summer course at Penn State through her HS in summer of ā€˜20. Is the access she has due to already having taken a class or is it new for today? Any way to tell? Her portal still says ā€œapplication under reviewā€.

This all sounds super amazing and i am sure she will have many, many options! Keep us posted!! Fyi, d applied late August…

SR13….I don’t know for sure, but she probably has access because of the prior course. It’s live for financial/payments reasons.

Can access to LionPATH mean acceptance to a Commonwealth campus instead of UP?

Samm-good question. Shortly after you have access to lionpath, check ā€œcommunicationā€ tab. It will tell you. Approx 730pm daily. I’m not an expert. Based on experience.

Received my acceptance letter in the mail today. It was the same acceptance letter as the one in my portal

Wow that’s amazing!! Good luck to her too :slight_smile:

All I’m seeing is students with very high/above ā€œaverageā€ stats here! I’m guessing that those being accepted will have stats closer to the ā€œaverageā€ as we get closer to 12/24, but the wait is certainly making everyone anxious lol. Have been checking my portal nonstop since when I submitted in early October. 19 more days to go!

yes

For anybody that cares, Penn State now uses the below for the admissions process. Very little human interaction.

I just got logged into my son’s portal and the TO button is gone. It was there about 10 minutes ago. And I can log into Lionpath now. That’s as far as I’ve gotten. Still looking for something that says he’s in.

Check again around 730 eastern. Lionpath

Has anyone heard from Smeal yet?

It does not matter one iota that he hasn’t heard yet. Penn State decision order is random. It doesn’t matter if his friends applied before him or if he saw people with similar stats get accepted. It means nothing. Students will be accepted up until the EA deadline and then even more accepted during regular decision etc…
Do not lose hope. You are still WEEKS away from the decision deadline!

Where did you hear this? I do not think this is accurate.
