Hi guys,
I also received the snail mail continue to review letter. What exactly does this mean? Am i basically on a "waiting list" for an interview. Or is this just jargon to tell me politely that I have a long shot to get in? I am a little surprised considering my numbers should fit PSU pretty well and I grew up 20 mins away from the school.
Should I just consider my chances at PSU to be over with?
Yes. The letter is a euphemistic rejection. This is my 3rd time apply to PSU and my 3rd time receiving this letter.
Has this been the experience of other people too? Gridguy, this is your third time applying? Is PSU your in-state school or do you just really want to go here? It's my in-state school and I'd be very happy here, but with the large number of applicants and no real state resident preference in PA, I recognize it's a small shot for me.
Staz, my advice would be to check out last year's thread and see if other students who received this letter then got interviews. My gut is that gridguy is right being as he's been through this before but you never know. I also received this letter last week, for what it's worth, and so did several others who regularly post on this thread.![]()
I grew up in PA and went to PSU but for the past several years have been living in DC. While I still declare PA as my state of residence, it does not seem to make a bit of difference in my case.
In years past, I have monitored SDN to see if people receiving this letter are in fact invited for interviews and I can honestly say I do not recall ever seeing such an instance... let alone an acceptance. It's possible that people do get lucky and just do not post, but regardless I am interpreting the letter as an effective rejection (each of my letters came in September).

😕So this is odd...I think that I sent out two secondary apps? I had sent one out 2 weeks ago and it said that it was complete. Then Penn State sent me another email today saying that it was incomplete with the link to another supplemental app. This one was different from the first one but still...why another one?
Soo did anyone else pay 2 fees?
weird. did the king of nigeria's son also ask for help to transfer money!

Not really following but to me this isn't very funny. I sent my secondary app out 3 weeks ago so to know now that it wasn't even complete and that I needed to fill out a different one sucks. 🙁
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? The one where you pick 3 things off your AMCAS activities and explain how it shows your leadership, committment, and character? And then you have to pay an $80 fee. Then the other one had essays like what negative aspects of medicine have you considered and those things that then had another fee.

dude Tape chill man. all I remember on my secondary were those 3 questions. I don't remember picking 3 things off my amcas. If you have doubts about this second secondary. don't heavily rely on SDN. call Penn State's office man. I wouldn't submit something else, unless I knew for sure it was legit.
Okay so I did send out the one with the 3 essays first. I just now sent the one with picking 3 things of AMCAS. But they emailed it to me today so that's why I am confused. And sorry if I'm freaking out. I'm really not usually like this. 😳
uhmmm thats weird I dont know what to say but good luck. I hope they dont do same to me cuz i got a complete email from them. did they ever send you a complete email?Okay so I did send out the one with the 3 essays first.

Tapepsi - you are describing UPENN's secondary application
This is the PSU thread.
You do know the two schools are very different right? lol

YESS!!! Interview invite but by email (?). Oh well who cares I'll take it especially since I only submitted the secondary 3 weeks ago. PSU is my dream med school!!!
Congrats! Just curious but how else have you gotten interview invites?...I thought email was pretty standard
Does Penn State send out their secondary in batches? I added them before mid September and still have not received it.
Thanks! Any info will help.
jeesh... still not complete. at least 3-4 weeks in indeterminate status now...
