Eligibility and Class Profile for First-Year Students

As you consider your future university, it is important to understand both the competitiveness of your application based on the profiles of previously admitted students, as well as the academic and cultural environment you will be joining. You want to find a good fit, where you will excel both academically and personally. Explore the Middle 50% and other profile data below to determine if Penn State could be the right fit for you.

Class of 2025 Profile: Middle 50% Ranges

The ranges in the chart below represent the middle 50 percent of students offered admission to their first-choice campus for summer/fall 2024—they are not cutoffs or averages. These ranges are for estimating purposes only and in no way represents a promise or guarantee of admission.

Placing in the upper end of both ranges increases the likelihood of being offered your first choice of campus and/or major. Placing in the lower end may require you to be more flexible in making your campus (and perhaps major) choices.
