What is Penn state’s process for these Rs? If we submitted end of July could we expect an II if not rejected?

same submission timeline as you and no R but I definitely wouldn't say we should expect an ii lmao. more so just no news is good news rn

I just got an R and submitted 7/21. Maybe you’re safe? Maybe not?

For those applying to the University Park pathway at Penn State, did you hear back from the team after emailing them. On the website it says "We encourage all interested applicants to email the University Park admissions team to indicate their interest in learning more." I emailed them after submitting my secondary but never heard from them... not sure if I should reach out again

Does anyone have concrete info about whether the MDPHD program accepts update letters? I can see that the MD program doesn’t, but I can’t find any info on MTSP.

Seems like they switched up their rejection wave from the last few cycles. Haven’t gotten the R yet. Fingers crossed :)

If my secondary was complete on 7/30, should I send an update letter or letter of intent? (I have an upcoming promotion and I started a community service volunteer a couple of months ago that I see myself continuing as a new project in whichever school that takes me in)
