Great info. Thank you! My son applied DUS, but I want to be prepared in case he doesn’t get UP and wants to try for reconsideration with a different major.

I don’t but from everything I have read on this thread and the acceptances thread it seems that they focus more on unweighted gpa based on their own recalculation using core subjects. So while weighted is 4.2, unweighted core could be lower. Most of the acceptances I have seen so far the gpas are close to unweighted core 4.0 or if say a 3.7 had a very high test score. I haven’t seen lower stat acceptances yet reported or many reporting stats with summer on these threads yet.

mine did.
What are my sons chances of getting in: 3.3/4 gpa, 1210 sat, 11 honors, 3 dual enrollment, 1 ap, good extra curricular activities, in state, agriculture undeclared, bad freshman year but junior year he had a 3.8. He selected willing to do summer start as well.
My son (similar stats) was DUS/Summer last year and received notification on December 20. I can absolutely understand the rollercoaster of emotions. This is one thing that my sister shared with me that did help: There will be over 8,000+ freshmen students admitted, plus an ADDITIONAL 2,500 summer students. At most, these threads include 5-10% of that number.
The most perfect post I’ve read this year on another thread: “Don’t be scared off by all the other amazing candidates here - this little microcosm is mostly high achievers.”
Wishing you all the best of luck!

My sone was not admitted to Smeal for Fall of 2023, we received the info around Dec 2 or 2022. He called the admissions department, they sent him a link he changed his major to Liberal Arts and was admitted to UP first week in January. He’s now a sophomore DOS major and will have a direct admit to Smeal his Jr year. No issues taking his prerequisites and entry level Business classes, on track to graduate on time with a minor.

If that happens, you can post his academic strengths and interests and I’ll think of a similar-but-less-selective major, or he can look through the 100+ majors and select a few that look interesting. 
This way he keeps usefully busy and if there are bad news they’ll be easier to hear if there’s an immediate pivot with new hope.

I’m getting an error when trying to upload a pic here.
I see it in the menu pane, under Home, below Campus Info.
Anyone got any updates tonight? Nothing here! Wait continues……
Nothing for us
My son was recently accepted for Fall DUS at UP, but he’d like to request reconsideration for a different premajor. We’re running into an issue as the portal doesn’t let us submit the request unless a second-choice campus is selected. Since he’s already been accepted to UP, he doesn’t want to add a second campus and risk losing the original offer. I’m thinking we might need to call admissions to figure it out, but I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the process or how to request reconsideration without adding a second campus. Thanks so much for any help!

the panel below “Home” called “Application tools” is what folks are referring to where the “schedule a visit” disappeared.

Just curious, why would he change his major if he is already accepted ? DUS will allow him follow the path of most majors.
