I'm curious about when Penn State typically sends out regular decision notifications. I'm hoping to get a sense of the timeline so I can plan accordingly. Anyone with insight on this?
Penn State operates under a rolling admissions policy. This means that they review applications and send out decisions as they receive applications, instead of waiting until a specific date. Normally, Penn State begins to release its regular decision notifications in early December.
After you submit your application, it typically takes several weeks to be evaluated. Consequently, the earlier you submit your application, the sooner you should receive your decision.
Do keep in mind that all dates can vary from year to year. For your specific cycle, I'd recommend checking the admissions website or reaching out directly to the admissions office for the most accurate timeline.
Lastly, I want to wish you the best of luck with your application to Penn State!
