I also have the new wording. TO button still shows. Applied early August, DUS, test optional.

@userndnndndn How did you submit your reconsideration: via email (if so which email address) or did you call the Penn State admissions office?

So
here is a curve ball! TO button still appears but happened to check Lion Path and my daughter’s acceptance was there!

Congrats! What major?

He Applied DUS + Summer (and he’s a true DUS). Weighted GPA 4.1. Haven’t caculated unweighted, but it’s lots of As and Bs (which I imagine a major chunk). Rigor was good 6AP (2 of which are this year) / 11 Honors / 1 Duel Enrollment. TO. Does have legacy and a current sibling there. Several varsity sports, NHS, DECA, etc.

After reading this thread, I honestly don’t know what to think. A vast majority of you deserve a wonderful congrats as you’ve raised wonderfully high achieving children.

Again, I’m glass half full. Hoping to hear an answer soon.

When did it appear in lion path?

So my son’s portal was showing the updated language many of you referred to and now he’s got this: (His checklist has been complete for months.)
Penn State is currently receiving a high volume of supporting application materials. Supporting application materials are being processed and recorded on the date received. Please check your MyPennState profile regularly for updates to your checklist items. Once your checklist items are complete we will begin a review of your application.

Any thoughts? Anyone else now seeing this?

Nothing in lionpath here! More waiting
! Congrats to those accepted!

I could get into Lion Path at 7:10 but the letter did not appear until after 7:30

Yes. It just changed to that wording as well.

Either there are more updates coming OR what I was suspicious of was our HS guidance office sent the transcript in late (even though admissions confirmed NOV 1 that we did everything on our end).

@Reds627 showing the same. Everything has been completed for months as well.

Is this id to get into lionpath the user id with your initials and the four numbers from the application portal?

Check that they did receive his scores because it should suffice in proving he can handle classes at UP.
Is he currently taking precalculus or calculus? What about world language?
He can submit his first quarter grades, definitely if they’re good. Review his SRAR with him in case he made a mistake somewhere.

Would it be possible for him to check summer or does he have things (trip, competition, work
) planned?

There should be a tab in the application. You can also email.
Reconsideration for DUS+Summer is possible.
