Applying early at PSU doesn’t mean a thing, I applied Aug 1st to Smeal, 1260 and 3.7, and got a no on Jan 29th. I appealed within 1 hour of opening my mail and reapplied to Eberly as a math major. Heard back by the next morning, a yes to Main campus. The admissions counselor said if I applied Div of Undergrad. Studies, i would have heard back in Nov. Smeal and a few other colleges were swamped this year and could really pick and choose. If you are waitlisted I would call admissions and ask them to change major to undecided and say you’ll go summer. They should give you an answer quickly. Post here if this works for others… good luck!
