Typically, what kind of credentials should an individual have in order to get an offer of admission to Penn State?
Admissions criteria change from year to year. Therefore, there is no one set of statistics that students can use to predict their own admissibility to Penn State. The chart below is based on the middle 50 percent of students offered admission for fall semester 2003. It is intended to give you a general idea of how likely you are to be offered admission to Penn State, and at which campus. Please keep in mind that these figures are not cut-offs; since the chart shows the middle 50 percent in each range listed, 25-percent of students offered admission fall below the range shown, and 25 percent fall above the range. Having one factor above the middle range may help to balance the other factor if it falls below the middle range.
