Does Penn State have a rolling admission policy?

I'm applying to Penn State and I want to know if they have rolling admissions. If anyone has applied there before, do you have tips for making sure everything is submitted on time?

Penn State University actually has a rolling admissions policy, which means that they review applications as they come in and continue to do so until their incoming class is full. However, there are certain deadlines you'll need to keep in mind.

The recommended application submission date for first-year students is November 30. Applying by this date essentially improves your chances of being admitted as more spaces are typically available at this early stage. It also allows for earlier notification of your admission decision, providing you with ample time for planning.

Beyond this, make sure to order your high school transcript and have it sent to Penn State, and follow up to ensure they received it. Pay close attention to each component of the application to avoid any missing or incomplete information. I would also advise checking your application status through Penn State's Undergraduate Admissions Portal to ensure your application is complete and under review.

Good luck on your application process! Always take your time and make sure everything is submitted correctly. This way, you'll have a smoother journey ahead.
