out of state applying

<p>im an out-of-stater applying to penn state</p>

<p>does anybody know how chances are for out-of-staters? i know PSU is supposed to be one of the most selective publics in the country but i can't find anything on its acceptance rate for out of state so...any help?</p>

<p>also: what are the chances of not making it to the main PSU campus?</p>

<p>Most everything depends on your stats: GPA and SAT. </p>

<p>Here is the general stats link:

<p>About 20-25% of students at PSU are out of state.</p>

<p>ok...i currently have a 3.87 UW (out of 4.0) and 1460 composite for reading (750) and math (710), so it looks like i am safe.</p>

<p>is out of state applying at penn state harder than at UVA or is it comparable, or easier?</p>

<p>Xe....you shoul apply for the honors college. Its well worth a shot. You have the stats</p>

<p>psu admissions told us they evaluate oos and pa applications equally.</p>

<p>UVA is much harder for OOS students!! Honors college at PSU is pretty tough to get into but probably still not as hard as UVA OOS.</p>
