Hi All,
I’ve renamed this group to be a DISCUSSION about applications for the class of 2025. Decision threads are to have ONLY decisions in them. I will make a separate decision thread.
For this thread, please discuss questions, timelines or whatever you want regarding this admission cycle. In the decision thread, please post ONLY decisions.
I’m not 100% sure that the above poster is legit. It’s possible, as anything is, but would be far out of character for Penn State UP to accept a 3.0 GPA student at any time, let alone this early. Keep in mind that anyone can post anything!
@Djejbdn33i Yeah, I read the class of 2024 one and they started hearing back in early November. I saw most of the dates were 11/5, 11/7, and 11/17. So maybe we’ll hear back around then.
However, since the early action date was moved back to 11/15, maybe we won’t hear back till at least that date.
Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification! Still seems very early but possible! I was just questioning it also because the poster is a new account with only one post. I guess I’m just jaded by the years on CC lol!
In the past, decisions rolled out starting Nov 2. However, with the delay to Nov 15, it could take that long. Nonetheless, it’s rolling admissions, so many will not hear right away.

Honestly? I was surprised. Wasn’t expecting to hear so soon. I actually have been accepted to 11 of my 16 schools so far. Will probably choose my first choice if they offer me instate tuition waiver. Good luck everyone!
Congrats! I’ve never heard of Penn State offering an instate tuition waiver unless active duty military. Is one of your parents active duty and stationed in PA?

Hi everyone I applied almost 2 weeks ago to Penn State University Park and I was wondering when is the earliest I could receive an admissions decision. My school is a bit weird as to there are no AP classes offered, but I have taken several Dual credit/enrollment courses with my cc. Since my school is an early college. I have had several job since sophomore year and have had 5 extra curricular s with leadership roles leading up to now. I also founded an organization with my community college, which is something I am very passionate and proud of. Could someone let me know what my chances are of getting in?
@jlhpsu can definitely answer this better than I can, but from what I’ve seen in past forums, PSU might send out letters at the beginning of November and/or around the Early Action deadline.
In the 2024 admissions decisions for Penn State, I read that many students got their decision either right before or right after the EA deadline. I think this year, the deadline is November 15th, which means they would start rolling out decisions around that time. We also have to keep in mind that the Covid could further delay that process.
That is my guess. I am a senior who applied as well and that is what I’ve seen in past forums.
Good luck though and you have an impressive resume so I’m sure you’ll get in!
