I think you’ll need at least a 3.5 weighted GPA…but I dont think that chart is fool proof. The GPA and Test Scores are “very important” for admission to Penn State, but the “rigor” of your high school program is also an “important” factor. The admission process there is somewhat of a mystery, but I do think they take a look at how many advance courses you have taken and what level math you are in. I read somewhere that the level of math you have taken in high school is one of the best predictors of success in college.

Penn State’s admission criteria are explained in the common data set.

Error Page;

Since Penn State’s admissions are rolling there is also a “first come, first served” aspect to admissions. A lot of people have already applied to Penn State. Do you have your application complete yet?
