3.88 weighted, 1150 SAT (not sure if she submitted or not).

Looked it up at PSU was more competitive than I was expecting. It’s good to have the first acceptance in hand. Not sure we can afford out of state tuition, but I think they may discount a little for surrounding states?

Waiting on VT, JMU and CNU plus a few others.

Anyone have any experience with financial aid at Penn State?


Congrats! I bet she went TO. That score is really low to get into University Park. Not low for the 2+2 program starting at a satellite campus.

My DD has the same stats - 3.8 w and an 1150 SAT and was denied University Park but accepted at Altoona. Penn State does not superscore. I think my DD may have had a better chance for UP if she went test/optional.

Was accepted at JMU and is waiting on Pitt. She does not want to go to PSU Altoona.

Can you give more info such as major, race etc this seems like false hope for a lot of


I think she submitted as a sociology major or maybe psychology.


Penn state is an incredible experience. I would accept!!

She’s just a basic white girl.

I remember getting some flyer when my oldest was applying that talked about a discount for Virginia students. But maybe it was for that satellite campus thing. This is it I think… https://admissions.psu.edu/costs-aid/scholarships/discover/

Penn State does not discount to surrounding states.

Very little (if any) merit for OOS students.
Small price break if attending a non-UP campus.
