This is what
This is the mentality that’s kept me sane for the last two weeks.

Me too! My current theory is that this year's applicant pool was much bigger, so they're taking longer to pull applicants off the WL.

Any updates in terms of how many people are in the PSUCOM GroupMe now? Their Facebook had +6 users in the last week :/
123 members on GroupMe c/o 2026.
As a PSA, bc I’m sure there are other people as antsy as I am😅- I called admissions today to ask if they have any information on waitlist movement. A very nice woman told me that she believes they have already started pulling people off the waitlist, to not expect any waitlist correspondence emails (ie. “Checking in to see if you’re still interested to remain on said WL”), to keep your contact information up to date, that it will probably be a phone call if accepted, and that anything can happen until July.

Does anyone know how to ensure our contact info is up to date? My anxious brain now needs to ensure they have the right phone number lol
Keep it updated on AMCAS 🙂

Thanks for sharing! I can’t recall if I ever provided my phone number on my AMCAS. I’m also not seeing a section where I can add that now, would anyone be able to help?
It’s under Biographic Information > Preferred Address > Day Phone

That's what I'm seeing too! I see my email, but no phone option.
Should be there in your old app by your email. I wouldn’t worry though bc I’m sure they will email you about an acceptance if they can’t find your phone number. That would be too mean if they just skipped over you for that reason 😂
Was a very very difficult decision, but I just withdrew my acceptance from here. Good luck to those on the WL, this is an amazing school that I really fell in love with.
I second the above. I would have loved to go to Penn State, but I got into the same school as my husband and have to consider what is best, not just for our careers, but for us as a family. So I withdrew my acceptance today. I hope that spot goes to one of you and that you take advantage of every opportunity PSU offers. We are 💙

Can anyone tell me what the OOS interview invite rate is for this school please?
For recent waitlist acceptances, can I ask when you interviewed?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Does anyone know if Penn State drug tests incoming students? Wondering if this is something I'll need to schedule. They provide a bunch of forms for a physical exam and labs on the "student health" page of the applicant portal but I don't see anything about a drug test. I know this is something some schools do. Thanks!
