I'm trying to plan my college applications and want to include Pennsylvania State University in my list. Could someone let me know about their regular or early action deadlines? I want to make sure I don't miss it!
Pennsylvania State University follows a rolling admissions policy, but they do recommend that you submit your application by November 30th for maximum consideration. For certain programs, like their nursing program, they do have an actual binding deadline which is December 1st. Keep in mind, admissions become more competitive as the applicant pool grows, so it is generally a good idea to apply early.
Also, financial aid deadlines might be different from the admissions deadlines, so it's crucial to check the financial aid deadlines as well. Typically, you would aim to have your FAFSA submitted by early February at the latest to take full advantage of available aid. Happy planning!
