The questions international applicants ask
What are Pennsylvania Western University's application deadlines for 2026–27?
Pennsylvania Western University admits on a rolling basis for 2026–27: there's no single deadline, and it answers applications as they come in, so applying early is safer.

94.3% for students who started in fall 2024: Pennsylvania Western University admitted 5,594 of its 5,930 first-year applicants.

Does Pennsylvania Western University require the SAT or ACT for international applicants?
It depends. Pennsylvania Western University requires SAT or ACT scores from some applicants or programs only for 2026–27, and its testing page says which.
- This is the policy listed for all first-year applicants. Some universities treat international students differently, so confirm it on the testing page.
