Hi there, does anyone know the acceptance rate for the regular decision applicants at Penn State? I'm stressing a bit and would like to know my chances. Thanks!
Hello! Penn State has an overall acceptance rate of approximately 55%, but this includes both early action and regular decision applicants. While the University does not publish acceptance rates specifically for regular decision applicants, it's worth noting that early action acceptance rates tend to be higher than regular decision rates due to the strength and commitment of the early applicants.
To better gauge your chances, it's important to consider other factors like your GPA, test scores (if required or submitted), extracurricular activities, and essays. Keep in mind that Penn State conducts a holistic review of applications, meaning they consider all aspects of your application, not just your grades and test scores. Focus on putting your best foot forward in your application and showcasing your unique strengths!
Good luck with your application!
