Is Penn States Engineering School More Selective?

I would take anything that’s not from the school, and which “uses” data from 2013, with a big grain of salt. So no, I don’t believe that site at all.

They say the engineering school accepted “7,478 students in 2013,” but our entire freshman class at UP is only 9,000 or so – and Penn State is not made up of 83% engineering students.

It’s possible they’re including branch campuses, in which case it may be easier to get into the College of Engineering, just as it’s easier to get into a branch campus generally. But that misrepresents the selectivity of engineering at University Park.
