Ahh, I didn't get mine. I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means. :'(

Ditto 🙁

I'm sure they'll keep looking at apps, keep being positive! Good luck!

Got my happy packet in the mail! Accepted! OOS LizzyM~70, interviewed on 10/23 😀

 

[MissMD333]

Does anyone know if Penn State sends out rejection notifications as soon as they've decided, or do they wait until the end of the cycle?

Nice. Thanks! We have similar stats and dates. Keep us posted when you get your happy package in the mail!

YAY! Got accepted today 🙂 exactly one week after I got the additional info tab.

 

[emkaydee721]

Additional info tab today! Interviewed 11/2. Stay tuned.

 

[NoIdeaWhatNameToUse]

Finally got my additional info tab today! Interviewed 10/5

 

[getblue222]

Has anyone who got the additional info tab, not received an acceptance? Is it a safe assumption if you got the additional info tab, you got accepted?

 

[postit]

What are the chances of getting in here after a post-interview hold?

 

[dr.mom47]

How many weeks after your interview date did the additional info tab appear??

Sorry for the terribly long response... I haven't been on SDN in ages. I think it appeared approximately a month after my interview!

 

[yonce_fan]

Just got my acceptance packet in the mail today...interviewed 10/9, additional info tab ~4 weeks ago, and letter is dated 12/4

 

[KatniP]

Has anyone from the 11/6 interview round received an "Additional Information" tab and what is the correlation with the additional info tab and actually getting in?

It seems that everyone who has gotten an "Additional Information" tab has gotten in, whereas those that didn't got put on a post-interview hold. Also, not the date you are looking for but I interviewed 11/13 and do not have an additional information tab.

Thank you! Yeah, it seems that some people are getting it before the 6 week mark. Is there a schedule to when the committee meets and decides on applicants?

 

[believeandgetit]

Congrats to all those who are accepted! Did you all complete the post interview survey? Do you think how well we write the comments affect the decisions?

 

[prayer525]

Any recent IIs from here?

 

[mcrtn50]

******6 week mark just hit for those who interviewed on November 6******
anyone hear back?

Nothing yet, interviewed 11/9.

I completed the post interview survey. I seriously doubt our responses affect the decisions (that would essentially make the survey useless), but it weirdly did not mention that the responses were anonymous, so I did take that into consideration as I was writing (although my responses were genuine and I very much enjoyed the interview).

 

[Saharat]

OMG! Additional info tab 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Interviewed early November 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Congrats! Did you interview before 11/6?

 

[NeverStressedAlwaysHappy]

Does Penn state send pre-II rejections?

 

[mnasir94]

Anyone yet to go from Hold --> II? Or is this one of those schools that looked at applications on hold after they've sort of gone through all other potential apps?

 

[tj3394]

I got an acceptance packet in the mail today!! Interviewed 11/2, Additional Info tab 12/11

 

[grey_wind]

assuming they actually revisit those of us on pre-II hold, does anyone know when this might begin?

 

[emkaydee721]

I got an acceptance packet in the mail today!! Interviewed 11/2, Additional Info tab 12/11

Same! Interview 11/2, Additional Info Tab 12/11, acceptance packet received 12/18. We Are!!!

I did last year, didn't get in.
Tried again this year,I'm still on hold right now, and last year I had gotten a early December interview >.< . I got put on preinterview hold rather early this year, and no contact. (Oct 20th hold).

If you receive an "additional info" tab is this a positive sign towards a possible acceptance? I interviewed only 3 weeks ago on 12/2/15 and and received an "additional info" tab on my student portal. I noticed that many applicants received that tab about 4-6 weeks after interviewing so I am not sure if I should be excited just yet. Sorry if I missed the answer to this question somewhere within this thread. I appreciate any help.

I haven't seen anyone who got the additional info tab and didn't get good news, so I say you're on your way to an acceptance packet in a week. Maybe they're trying to clear the pipes before the Christmas break, which would be very welcome by everyone waiting right now.

That sounds really promising! Thank you so much for your response 🙂

 

[postit]

has anyone gotten in here after a post-interview hold?

 

[daisies1994]

how does the school notify you if you've been put on a post-interview hold?

 

[Klam412]

Praying that I will get an acceptance here soon. I loved the school and students. Interviewed on 11/18. Has anyone from this interview date have a "additional info" tab on their portal yet? And wishing the best to every single one of you! Happy Holidays!!!

I interviewed on the same date as you and have not heard anything 🤣

Sorry if this has been answered before, but does Penn State have a student hosting program available, and if so how can that be organized? Thanks!

Yes they do! You have to apply for it through the portal

 

[fastlikesloth]

Accepted!!! Interviewed 11/2, additional info tab 12/11.......so happy!!!

 

[bluegrass13]

Has anyone that interviewed on 11/11 heard any response yet?

 

[Hagrid12]

I love how they have 4 "societies" here into which the new students will be sorted into. All we need is a sorting hat, then it would be like Hogwarts lol. Indeed one society has a snake symbol and one has a lion

Clearly, I am on board with this suggestion. The atmosphere and culture that PSUCOM has created is quite incredible 🙂 I hope I can see it happen 🙂
