<p>They're not so hot, I know. And since PSU doesn't superscore, they are even worse than they would have been.</p>
<p>1460 SAT, 2.86 GPA UW. She'll be applying within the next week or two.</p>
<p>I know Altoona is one of the more popular branch campuses because they have dorms and are close to University Park. Does she even have a shot?</p>
<p>Yes, she has a shot. 35% of the freshmen at PSU Altoona have between a 2.5 and 2.99 GPA. My friends son was admitted last year with a 2.3. The branch campuses are much easier than the Main Campus. My daughter applied on 9/1 to the Main Campus. We haven’t heard anything yet. University Park for fall was her first choice, University Park for summer was second, and Altoona is her alternate campus. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks! She would have loved to get the main campus, but we’re not delusional. lol</p>
<p>I’m curious - the friend’s son admitted with a 2.3. Do you have any idea what his SATs were?</p>
<p>I do not. I didn’t ask, lol…I was surprised he was admitted actually, but when you look at collegeboard.com a full 12% of those admitted had under a 2.5. But then again, I don’t know what their situation or SAT’s were. According to the chart we were given at an admissions event at main campus, the middle 50% GPA for all branch campuses is 2.94-3.46 and SAT of 1450-1680. Remember that’s the middle 50% and not cut offs. So 25% had higher stats and 25% had lower. </p>
