| Penn State Test-Optional Extended through 2025 We’re excited to announce that Penn State will continue to be test-optional through summer/fall 2025! Students who choose to apply without SAT or ACT test scores will not be disadvantaged or negatively impacted. Instead, their application evaluation will be focused on their high school academic record. Please review our Test-Optional FAQ for more information. |
| Rolling Admissions Continue The Undergraduate Admissions Office continues to accept and evaluate applications on a rolling basis. If any students are still interested in any of Penn State’s twenty undergraduate campuses, please complete the application as soon as possible. As a reminder, we don’t require essays, letters of recommendation, or lists of activities for a complete application. We’re also still test-optional. Once a student submits their online application and Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR), their application will be considered complete (unless required to submit English proficiency test scores). |
| Completing the SRAR We recognize that the SRAR can be daunting for students to complete, so we wanted to share some helpful resources to assist them: SRAR Video Tutorial SRAR Troubleshooting Tips SRAR FAQs |
| Accepted Student Programs We’re excited to celebrate our next class of Penn Staters! We’re offering a variety of Accepted Student Programs this spring, and seniors who’ve been admitted are encouraged to attend. These events can help students decide if Penn State is the right fit for them. |
| Did You Know? The Penn State Nittany Lions’ Rose Bowl victory on January 2 was our fifth Rose Bowl appearance and the 100th anniversary of Penn State’s first Rose Bowl game in January 1923! This year’s Rose Bowl was Penn State’s first time facing the Utah Utes, and we had a great time celebrating the New Year by winning the game. WE ARE! |
