Admissions decisions are done by college. Some are moving earlier and more quickly than others. This week, weā€™ve seen admits from Engineering and HHD and maybe IST or Eberly?

I have not seen Liberal Arts yet. Also have not seen any Communications yet.

Donā€™t despair. It isnā€™t a race. The only thing you can do is verify that all your materials were received by Nov. 1st. In the past, weā€™ve seen kids/parents ready to blow their mind because they didnā€™t hear by 12/24. Turns out the SRAR was not submitted on time and they were moved to RD pool.

My OOS niece was accepted DUS for Fall 25 at UP. She heard last week. She submitted test scores but I donā€™t know what they were but likely very good all around stats and EC. My son applied DUS test optional but we are still waiting.

He applied Oct 7 with SRAR submitted Oct 10. Test scores were sent in September.

My daughter heard last week from Communicatiions.

So if I see that he can still change his test optional status in his portal, I can assume heā€™s not hearing at midnight tonight? Have we figured out if that button is going away for everyone?

I think someone posted that the button disappeared around 7 and then the email came around midnight. Not sure if that happened to all. 7 is way better than staying up to midnight :laughing:!
