Hey fellow applicants, I'm planning on applying for Penn State with rolling admissions. Does anyone know if their acceptance rate is higher or lower for this kind of application? Thanks!
Hi! Penn State's rolling admissions process doesn't necessarily have a fixed acceptance rate separate from their regular admissions. With rolling admissions, applications are evaluated, and decisions are made as they are received, rather than after a specific deadline. This means that your chances of being accepted could be slightly higher earlier on in the admissions cycle when there are more spots available.
That being said, it's crucial to submit a strong application that showcases your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and fit with Penn State regardless of when you apply. As always, an excellent application will increase your chances of being admitted since admissions officers are evaluating applicants on a case-by-case basis throughout the process.
Good luck with your application, and feel free to discuss any other questions you might have about applying to Penn State!
