I am curious if anyone has heard from the School of Liberal Artis, Econ Major?
I have seen a few 2+2 and summer - but not sure if they applied for that or if they applied for UP Fall and were given 2+2/summer. I also donāt think people on social media are announcing if their child didnāt get into UP so I think there may be others. (For example, I have seen people just say their child or people they know have āheardā from PSU but didnāt specify if they actually got in) If you look on last years EA thread there seemed to be a lot of 2+2 in mid December.
I actually donāt think they sent out any acceptances last Monday either. Or if there were any no one posted about them. There was a huge release on Tuesday though - or at least it seemed that way based on posts. Fingers crossed for you for tonight!

I am an anxious mom. My daughterās stats are as follows uw GPA 4.0 w GPA 4.38 has mainly honors or AP classes. Wants to get into psychology. She is taking AP psychology now and has taken AP biology, AP chemistry, pre-calculus and trig. Does anyone have any insight on her chances of getting into UP? This waiting game is torture 
There is some āprestigeā for direct admit to Smeal, but thatās really nonsense. Yes, you can switch your app by emailing admissions.

They donāt reject. Offer 2/2.
My daughter received her package in the mail 2 days after she got her acceptance email. It wasnāt personalized. Basically a Penn State admitted brochure with a QR code taking her to the portal to log in.
sharing b/c I was anxious too! My daughter got in UP fall start last week. OOS and TO. Weighted 4.0, unweighted 3.8. Five honors, 1 AP, 3 DE (including senior year). Great EC, but not sure PSU cares! Got in for HHD. Your daughter sounds strong - they just take their sweet time! Good luck!

My daughter applied for Communication Disorders and Sciences. UW GPA 3.67, W GPA 3.95, 11 honors and 4 AP classes. Great ECs (3 varsity sports, VP student council, Elem school internship). Hoping for UP fall. Has a scheduled trip to Europe that impacts summer enrollment. Not sure if her stats look good for fall start in her intended major. Looking to make a plan if we need to request reconsideration. Would Education (Elem or Special Ed) or DUS be a better option to consider?
My daughter initially applied to Smeal on 10/18, but after reading through these posts, she sent an email and requested to be switched to DUS on 11/11. On 11/13, she was accepted to UP for the fall. I think she had a decent shot at Smeal, but it was such a relief for her to get that acceptance. OOS, 4.52 W, 3.96 UW, 12 AP/DE classes, 1390 SAT, good ECs.

Congratulations to your daughter! Great strategy and one I wish we would have leveraged. Our wait continues 
Just in case, look at the majors in College of Agriculture then - lots of majors that work for med school and have practical applications it you donāt. Donāt forget to try and get a Spanish minor, especially the Spanish for health professions class.
Iād say, very good chances (her academic profile matches her proposed major very well, with excellent grades.)
Itās a good match but just in case,
Special Ed, considering her interests and profile as shared here, could be a good major for reconsideration.
My Daughters TO button is gone and she got into LionPath. Just nothing in communications yet. First time I have seen her nervous lol. And of course I am a wreck 
Update: She got in! Fall UP! TO DUS OOS 4.14 WGPA (no UW but about 3.75 UW) 5AP/5 Honors

Does anyone know of a time frame of when the school of nursing decisions come out? Online it says by January, but I thought all decisions are coming out by the 24th. Correct me if Iām wrongš
Fingers crossed! It should be there soon.
Nice! What major?
I believe it is by 12/24 unless they changed it. Two years ago my daughter heard for nursing (Altoona) 12/9. I know some people have heard already.

Got it. Hopefully by the 24th! Do you know if people have heard from UP nursing yet?
