Is the application complete?
It sounds like it might be missing something
Nope. It's been "complete" since late September.
I don't know their system; but they do get tens of thousands of applications. It probably takes a while to get through them.

No, it takes time. Does he want to go

I have been wondering the same for my son who applied for engineering - exacerbated by the fact that another student from his school already got a PSU acceptance (though didn't apply to engineering). They could also be deferred to RD, I think.

University Park. That’s the location on the common app, not Happy Valley.
