<p>I hear penn state isnt the hardest school to get accepted to. SO could I get in?</p>

Upward trend grades</p>
<p>Penn State is a reach.</p>
<p>Try to get 1900+ on the SAT to compensate for the low GPA.</p>
<p>Show a lot of interest by emailing the admissions at PSU and tell them why you really want to be here. As long as you show interest and show that you have potential to succeed, they would be happy to accept you even if your GPA unweighted is a little low</p>
<p>^ No. A school as large as PSU does not record your interest. You will get sent to a branch campus for 2 years with your current stats.</p>
<p>Penn State uses 2/3 GPA and 1/3 other factors(test scores, personal statement, rank, and activities list). Middle 50% GPA for last fall was 3.52-3.97. Middle 50% SAT was 1730-1980.<br>
GPA and SAT numbers are for University Park. Branch campuses have lower numbers.</p>
