Got my hopes up with all these acceptances, but still nothing. Sigh.
Congrats to all the new Penn State acceptances! Praying for S to hear before the 25th. Would be the best present he would receive!
My daughter got her acceptance this morning via online portal and email.
Accepted - College of Earth & Mineral Science - meteorology major
SAT - 1870
Weighted GPA - 3.94
Lots of activities and varsity sports 4 years. Leadership rolls etc.
When I first checked I got a message. Your application status is currently being updated. Please log out and check back in a few minutes. I logged out and checked in about 5 minutes and the acceptance was there.
Good luck to those still waiting. It’s hard I know!!!
**k this **t. I’ve been waiting for over a month and a half, and still haven’t got my decision from either PSU, or Purdue or UWMadison, and on top of that, I got rejected from Northwestern ED. This is the worst. Sorry for ranting, but just putting it out there :’)
@McKilla99 Don’t lose hope. My daughter applied to PSU 3 months ago on Sept.1. She did get accepted to UDel & Towson. But, PSU was her top choice and the waiting has been brutal.
@zipbags 3 months? Damn, that’s rough

@McKilla99 I don’t think many waited longer than my D last year. She applied 9/2 and didn’t hear until the last week of January…so nearly 5 months. It was a killer wait. But, keep in mind, it doesn’t matter if you are first or last to get in…there is no difference and no one has any idea. Good luck!

@jakeybake what were your stats if you don’t mind sharing?
this is so stressful. Pennstate is all I’ve wanted for a while. Congrats to you all!!
