I applied to Penn State under regular decision and am anxiously waiting for the notification date. Does anyone know when they usually send out decisions? I'm eager to finalize my college plans soon.
Penn State operates on a rolling admissions basis, which means they send out decisions as they become available, typically within 4-6 weeks after your application is submitted and completed. Keep in mind that this time frame may vary depending on the volume of applications they receive and when you applied. So, if you applied at the beginning of the regular decision period, you should be hearing back sooner rather than later. However, getting a decision later in the cycle is absolutely normal too.
You can also check the status of your application via the MyPennState portal at any time. This will keep you updated on where your application is in the review process. Lastly, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Penn State admissions office if you have any specific concerns or questions. They can give you the most accurate information related to your application. Good luck!
