“For Schreyer: Get AT LEAST a better-than-averageMay 16 2010Video/Media
For Schreyer: Get AT LEAST a better-than-average GPA and SAT scores, very good recs, and (most importantly) write AWESOME essays that make you stand out.

For Penn State: Apparently it's becoming more competitive, but basically do your best in high school (I'd say at least a 3.5 GPA to be safe), do better-than-average on SATs, and be involved. If you don't get into Main, it's not a huge crisis. If you do two years at a branch campus, I think you only need a 2.5 GPA to transfer up to Main.

Assuming that you would like to go to Penn State, keep your grades above a 3.75 and you should be good. don't procrastinate on anything, and if you are a minority i wish you the best of luck, i myself being a minority have had much trouble in being able to fund this higher education.

To get into Penn State you will need a pretty good GPA, say 3.7 or better. And 1200 on your SATS. If you're concerned you won't make the cut, apply for summer session. It's way easier to get into than for fall.
SAT: 1020 Female
