Your application status can stay like that for a while. Months, in fact. There is no “rolling” decision at Penn State and their decisions aren’t first in, first out. They are pretty random. If you applied by the EA deadline of Nov 1 then you will hear by December 24. If you apply by Nov 30, you will hear by January 31. That’s really all they will tell you. Decisions don’t start rolling out for most students until Mid November to early December.
