Tomorrow…?

My guess is Thursday for decisions!

 

[boofah]

Pre-II hold. Complete mid August

 

[HockeyAndBanjos73]

For which interviews dates do you think?

I interviewed November 1st and haven't heard back (unsure if the delay is any indication of outcome) but hopefully the late Nov/early Dec folks will get decisions as well!

You right I read the previous dates wrong. @TheWaldonator probably Nov/Dec

12/3 Interview Beyond excited about this A! been my first choice since the interview invite!

Anyone know if they still send candy bars and masks as part of your acceptance package?

 

[burrito-consumer]

Committee Hold- totally gutted, but "well done" to everyone who secured the A this morning.

 

[CosmicClev1]

Has anyone gotten off a pre-II hold this year? I just got an II after a pre-II hold from Drexel, but PSU is different since they don't have updates to go off of. What is the point of holding students if they can't update for a later review?? Seems so stupid. PSU is my alma mater so I was hoping to get the II.

 

[purplepremed1002]

Received the A this morning!!! Interviewed late November!!

 

[cardiocandy]

Does anyone know when the committee meets again? I interviewed in mid December and I didn't hear anything from them today.

 

[deleted1122447]

Does anyone have the days for the second look? I can't find them on the website.

 

[bsiddiqui0211]

Post-interview hold .

Do they accept letters of intent or should I just hope for movement off the waitlist later?

Sorry to hear that, when was your interview?

 

[TheHatMan]

pre-II R, thanks PSU for sending not one, but TWO rejection emails. For context, secondary complete late July, OOS, was never placed on hold

 

[deleted1122447]

Is PSU considered a mid tier or a low tier? I have seen some really conflicting things online.

PSU ranks at around 65. So definitely out of the top 50 but still a reputable school. $40 million in federal research grants + affiliated with undergrad institution + has its own teaching hospital on campus is what drew me in.

Pre-II Hold. Was complete in mid-August. I'm assuming a hold this late is essentially a rejection, right?

+1 complete late August

 

[tennispremed]

Any mid December interviewees still waiting to hear back?😅 I can’t handle this anticipation..

 

[deleted1115486]

Did anyone send post-interview thank you letters? I can't seem to find the emails of my interviewers!

 

[yourfuturedoctor]

I've been on hold for an interview since October. Has anyone received an II after being on hold?

 

[cardiocandy]

Yes, I'm in the same boat :/

I interviewed in October but it took 10 weeks to get the decision. Hopefully it comes soon!

I think you can ask the admissions office to forward thank-you letters to your interviewers!

I was recently accepted and I did not send any thank you letters.

Nope no hold

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if this school accepts letters of interest/update after being placed on committee hold?

Edit: I just saw this was mentioned in the hold email "You should be aware that a subsequent decision will be based on the information presently contained in your file with the exception of updated official transcript records." -- does this mean they don't accept updates/LOIs?

When I emailed admissions they said they don’t accept letters of intent or update.

Is anyone here still waiting for any sort of news, even a pre-II hold? It's been silence for me since I submitted my application.

For those who wrote post-II thank you notes, did you upload them to the portal or send them via email? Not quite sure how to get those forwarded to my interviewers. Thanks!!
