<p>Anyone care to rank the campuses of Penn state?</p>
<p>I would say UP, Altoona, then Erie; but, that’s just me.</p>
<p>To do it objectively, here’s how the branches compare in admission standards according to the 2009 common data sets for each.</p>
<p>The numbers following the branch’s name are in the following order:</p>
<p>% applicants admitted, SAT 25-75 percentile, Top 10% of H.S. class, average GPA</p>
<p>University Park (main): 51.6%, 1630-1940, 49.82%, 3.55
Abington: 84.3%, 1240-1580, 6.18%, 2.98
Altoona: 87.5%, 1340-1650, 6.19%, 3.04
Beaver: 93%, 1240-1570, 6.19%, 2.91
Berks: 83.5%, 1330-1640, 6.08%, 2.97
Brandywine: 85.3%, 1260-1600, 8.25%, 2.96
Dubois: 91.8%, 1200-1510, 4.52%. 2.83
Erie: 86.8%, 1380-1690, 14.1%, 3.21

Hazelton: 91.9%, 1200-1550, 7.54%, 2.33
Lehigh Valley: 93.6%, 1260-1610, 7.91%, 2.81
Mont Alto: 90%, 1230-1580, 9.28%, 2.93
New Kensington: 88.7%, 1260-1580, 7.24%, 2.87
Schuykill: 85.7%, 1100-1430, 5.4%, 2.74
Shenango: 77.3%, 1210-1520, 2.68%, 2.86
Wilkes-Barre: 91%, 1260-1590, 4.42%, 2.95
Worthington Scranton: 88.7%, 1190-1520, 3.76%, 2.83
York: 87.4%, 1265-1625, 8.46%, 2.91</p>
<p>Just for interest, and because PSU never reports this, the numbers across the entirety of Penn State are below. (weighted appropriately for the number of students at university park and all the branches but not including numbers for their on-line World Campus or Penn Tech) </p>
<p>Applicants admitted: 72.3%
SAT 25-75 percentiles: 1427-1747
top 10% of HS class: 25.6%
average GPA: 3.20</p>
