When is Penn State's regular decision release date?

Hey, I'm planning to apply to Penn State University through regular decision and I'm trying to figure out when I'll hear back. Can anyone tell me the release date for regular decision acceptances?

Penn State operates on a rolling admissions basis, which means that applications are reviewed as they are completed and received. Once your application is complete, you will typically receive an admissions decision within 4-6 weeks. Please keep in mind these timelines are approximate and can vary. Just for context, completed applications are applications in which Penn State has received all necessary materials like transcripts, test scores (if you've chosen to submit them), and the application itself.

If you apply by to the Early Action deadline, which is November 1, you're likely to hear back sooner—usually by the end of December. If you apply later in the spring, response times can take longer due to the large number of applications Penn State receives.

The best way to get the most precise information, however, is to continuously check the status of your application through the Penn State Applicant Portal.

I hope this clarifies things for you. Best of luck with your application!
