Penn State is the most popular OOS by both applications and attendance among students from my child's Fairfax high school. The relatively high acceptance rate is misleading because many students are accepted to branch campuses rather than the main campus. Getting into popular majors at University Park (the main campus) is much more competitive. My child had several friends who were devastated when they weren't admitted to the main campus.

Penn State is highly desirable and would likely attract even more students if the OOS tuition weren't so expensive. Penn State is at the top of my child's list, but as a recruited athlete, they're not quite at the Penn State recruitment level. If they decided to forgo playing college sports, they would be thrilled to attend Penn State.

The tug of playing D3 sports is tough. My kid chose Penn State over it, but the frat lax league is filling the void. [/quote][/quote]
The problem with D3 sports is that schools are usually tiny and/or remote. My older kid considered playing D3 until they visited a couple of D3 schools. [/quote]
