<p>What is the meaning of rolling admissions? Penn State has a November 30 application deadline. I had thought that rolling admissions meant you could apply at any time, even in February, and you would hear back in 4-6 weeks or so.</p>
<p>My D applied last year and if I remember correctly, when you apply be Nov 30 you hear back by Jan 31. If you apply by Dec 31 you hear back by Feb 28, and so on.</p>
<p>My son, a senior, applied around the end of November, past the “Early” date they had set but he still heard back by Christmas, which was very nice!</p>
