Does anyone know if Penn State waitlists applicants? Or is it just acceptance or rejection?

Thanks for letting me know! how was it? I'm guessing I got rejected then - I haven't heard anything yet and I can't imagine they send acceptances out after the open house

I haven't heard anything either but I wasn't asked to interview. I went on the portal and it said a decision was in process on 3/29. I'm assuming it's a reject since I wasn't asked to interview.

Thank you! Congrats on your acceptance as well. That is great to hear. Maybe I will contact her or someone in the department to try to get more information. I consider that a great pro

where do you attend?

Hi guys! So like most of you, I am trying to decide between schools. Although I'm still wanting to hear back from my top choice (Penn State) I realize that I can't wait forever and the closer it gets to April 15th (probably) the less likely I am to get in. So I'm considering my current 3 acceptances that I have. I have been accepted at Ithaca College, East Stroudsburg University, and Radford University. I have not visited any officially yet, but I am going to see ESU on Friday and I grew up about 30 minutes from Ithaca so I know the area well (but not the program obviously). I am waiting to hear back from 4 more programs and I have been also waitlisted at 8 places as well. But I know I can't put count on getting off of one of those. Since I need to consider the options I have at the moment -- does anyone have any pros or cons for any of the 3 programs? I want to gain good exposure to everything while I'm in grad school. I would also like to have to the ability to learn more about AAC while in grad school as well - even if that just means through an externship at bare minimum. Also as a side note - since I'm trying to prepare myself for the rejection from penn state - does anyone have any tips or advice so it doesn't hurt so much? I know I am luck to have even one acceptance because some people don't even get one but at the same time I know I will be crushed. Thank you for reading my long-winded post. Have a great rest of your day and good luck with your school decisions.

Has anyone heard about an Open House date for Penn State?

Is anyone else planning on going to East Stroudsburg's Open House Friday?

Yes, I know it's still kind of early to hear back but I'm getting antsy and there are still many schools that I have not heard from. Should I just try to be patient and wait? Especially for my number one school? Or do you think there is going to come a point that I should contact the school if I have not heard anything? Thoughts? Thank you!

Everyone gets different advice from advisors and professor - not to mention everyone's financial situation is different. So out of curiosity how many schools did you apply to?

I apologize if this is a common knowledge question -- but is it ok to accept an offer of admission after april 15th? especially if you already commit to a school? I have not heard from my number one school yet and I was waitlisted at my number two, but I have been accepted to 3 other places so far. Say I decide to accept my offer of admission at my number 3 school by let's say april 13th, then I hear from my number 2 school on april 17th that I was accepted off of the waitlist and there is a spot open for me. Am I allowed to forfeit my money (deposit) at my number 3 school to then accept my offer of admissions at my number 2 school? Thank you for taking your time to read/answer. I apologize if it was really wordy or confusing. This is my first cycle applying so I want to make sure I do everything right.

I'm still waiting as well. I haven't heard anything about an interview

Sorry, I literally just made a post new post asking before I saw this. Does anyone know if there is one for East Stroudsburg? I also got email today about one for Radford.

Has there been a Facebook group made yet for accepted students? I'm super excited! I got an email on 2/27 (Also my birthday!) and I would like to connect with others/learn more about the program.

Ok I need some hope. I know there is already a thread related to this but I haven't heard back from Penn State yet and I'm just worried that they have sent out all of their acceptances and I just haven't heard yet because it's a rejection. My portal hasn't changed - it still says they are reviewing my application. Does anyone know if Penn State sends out either acceptance/rejections in waves? I saw that a lot of people heard back on the 27th and they were all acceptances. I just want to know in case I have to prepare myself for the worst - it my number one school. Thanks! Sorry for my rambling.

I'm hoping that they send admission results out in waves because looking at last year people heard back on the 4th so this coming monday - and then again in april. Does any know if Penn State does a waitlist?

I was wondering the same thing! I went here for undergrad (I'm taking a gap year right now). Penn State is my top choice!!
