Can someone please detail me on how to apply to Schreyer? I have been very confused. Do I check rolling admission on the CommonApp or EA? I have been having trouble finding this online
Will your application be submitted by the EA deadline? If so, then that should give you the best chance for admission (general admission). Penn State and Schreyer are two separate admission decisions. I see the deadlines like this:
Penn State
Nov. 1st … EA… decision by Dec. 24th
Nov. 30th … Priority … decision by Jan. 31st
after Nov. 30th … Regular … ???
(they are “modified rolling”)
Schreyer
Nov. 1st … Priority … guaranteed an interview by Dec. 10th
Dec. 4th … Final Deadline
… all decisions announced March 1st

I would encourage you to check EA and get those essays written! The essays are the difference maker for Schreyer. good luck.
In the application, there’s the question “do you want to apply to Schreyer’s honors college?” Check YES. It opens up the Schreyer app. The essay questions have been posted since July so hopefully you’ve worked on them already.
