For private schools that are not highly ranked and which offer merit scholarships, it’s possible for the cost of attendance to be lower compared to the full cost of attendance at Penn State–for those who would be out-of-state.

Even in-state. Private colleges know their competition and its high prices.

Full tuition at Penn St for in-state would be less than a private such as Haverford. However, If someone has enough need, then it could end up being possible for Haverford to cost less.
Nope 
Mine also says deferred due to volume. What does that mean?

You will be given a decision with the rolling admission people because they did not finish the EA applications in time

When do rolling admissions receive their decisions
4 to 6 weeks
Website says, if you filed rolling decision application by Dec 1, the decision can be made by end of Jan.
Yes, they also mentioned that we are moved to the November Review group and would receive a decision by 31st Jan

@Yankeefan20, it depends if the private school meets full need or not. Elite privates like Swarthmore are generous for those who have genuine need. Penn State does not claim to meet full need so chances are the financial aid award will actually be in the form of student loans. To prevent disappointment, you may want to assume Penn State will provide nothing. Then hopefully you’ll be surprised.
Anecdotally I can confirm that some students do receive generous scholarships from the individual colleges once they prove themselves. We were surprised to learn one of my kids received a generous one this past year. It does happen but not often and not typically with freshmen.
