My accepted son did not get any invitation to a call. So might not be for everyone yet anyway?
Accepted son didnāt get any notice of the callā¦I just happened to see someone else post about it here. Itās on the PSU website but youād have to know to look for it.
shocked itās been so quiet tonight thatās pretty upsetting
ugh. TO button still there for us, tooā¦ that waiting continuesā¦
If we donāt check Pennstate portal, how soon they send the acceptance letter in snail mail after the portal was updated? Itās not my Dās top choice but would like to know the result.

If youād rather not know my thoughts, just Skipā¦.
For those that applied EA, we are still waiting for one (twin brother accepted fall UP 4.0 unweighted, no scores DUS)
OOS
DUS
3.91 GPA unweighted
No scores
A friend of kid, same school
OOS
DUS
3.99 unweighted
No scores
Iāve seen 2+2 for Smeal lower than above and saw a UP summer lower. Same high school as mine. I have a theory and Iām sure Iām wrong, but seems to those of us waiting, itās possible they are on the bubble pile for fall/summer. Again? Iām sure my theory is wrong and not intended to mislead. Just making āguessesā on some same school data.

now what is bubble pile 
My monkey math
I should also addā¦
A student 4 houses down
Top 1%
1500 plus
I donāt know GPA but whatever the highest isā¦thatās it
Smeal
ā¦and no decision. So thereās that. My point being itās random. I should add that my twins applied the day the app opened in augustā¦other kids in school the day before deadline. The deadline kid was accepted UP summer low stats (under 3.7, no scores). Itās all maddening. Yes, I know about āby 12/23ā, but I honestly donāt care about the date they stateā¦I care, at this point, about the head games going on in my head and my son (while his brother in the same house is āinā). I probably failed as a parentā¦.and another point that doesnāt matterā¦both parents Penn State alumniā¦

@cmoon36 Cal State Schools arenāt holistic - what you are describing are the UC schools. Cal state schools donāt have essay options - they only take self reported grades and ask one generic question about activities (How many hours a week do you spend on extracurriculars), one generic question about average hours worked in past couple years, and one question on college app preparation programs.
The UC apps take 4 out of 8 essay prompts (350 words each), space for listing upto 20 activities or honors, and self reported grades (no pluses or minuses). Also no rec letters. UCs are definitely more holistic.
