Penn State Early Action for Fall 2025 Admissions

AFAIK you’re considered once for Fall, then once for summer if you checked both.
That’s why, if you’re borderline, checking summer directly means a faster decision.

My son was admitted a couple weeks ago, but I just went in to check and his portal still shows his admissions and he can get into Lion Path and see the letter in Communications. That’s odd - it doesn’t seem like it is down. You got the email at around midnight? In your admissions portal, does it tell you the decision? If you got the midnight email it should be in the admissions portal now, too, not just Lion Path. I hope you can see it soon - so frustrating!

Check your email and report back here :smiling_face:

i didn’t get an email. My undergraduate portal isn’t working.

If you are able to get into Lion Path, then you are admitted to some Penn State campus.

Try clicking on the horizontal bars on the top right side of Lion Path (the burger) and then into Communications there.

thanks for your help. I just got my admittance letter to university park

What a TO button? I don’t see that.

TO - text optional button on left side

There is definitely a portal issue this morning. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon. If you get the error message check lionpath and your letter will be there in communications. The letters didn’t come up on my phone - only on a computer!

Mine keeps buffering. I wonder if it’s the changes their making on their end, everyone is anxiously waiting or both!

Try checking on a computer. The letters wouldn’t come up on my phone.

Thank you very much for replying and hopefully she finds out soon.

I keep seeing TO “disappeared” on the portal for people finding out acceptances. My son submitted scores- would he be notified by email of acceptance? Physics major, applied 10/26:)

What did everyone put as a 2nd campus choice? My son put Abington only b/c it’s close to Philly. Any information on that campus would be great. He’s a business major - obviously wants UP/ Smeal 1st

We are patiently waiting for the psychology acceptance as well. My daughter has pretty similar stats, however we are in state. Hopefully their acceptances come soon! :pray:t2:

Good luck!

On the left side of the portal, there is a link to change your Test Optional Button - whether you applied with test scores or not, it is there. It goes away once they have made a decision.
