I want to apply to Penn State early, but I'm worried about the commitment. Is their early action program binding or non-binding?
Penn State offers a non-binding early action program. This means that you can apply to the university early without committing to enroll if you're accepted. You'll just receive your admissions decision earlier than regular decision applicants, giving you more time to consider your options and make a final decision by the national response deadline of May 1st. Good luck with your application!
