[BeingForItself]

Complete 7/17 and still no hold status. Really hoping that's a good sign because I really want to stay east of Pittsburgh for med school. And as a philosophy major I love the fact that this school has a humanities department with cool research going on!

Does Penn State send out rejections during the cycle?

 

[BeingForItself]

Does Penn State send out rejections during the cycle?

Yep:

Got an R, so I think the hold can't be a silent rejection, cuz they do rejection rejections!

Does Penn State accept application updates?

 

[notthrowingawaymyshot]

Does Penn State accept application updates?

I was wondering this too, I tried calling to ask but the number they provided in their emails and on their website was actually the number to the main hospital and the person who picked up was very confused and told me that the number was not for the medical school admissions office.

Edit: after searching this thread it seems some people have stated that they do not accept updates.

 

[Cakepop514]

Does Penn State accept application updates?

no they don't unfortunately

 

[dr.batman]

no they don't unfortunately

Thanks that's what I came to the conclusion of.
