Admissions Overview

The middle 50% of students score between 1090-1290 on the SAT, with an average of 1190. This represents solid but not strong academic preparation. As a Penn State branch campus, Berks serves students seeking the Penn State experience in a smaller setting. The school looks for students who want personal attention with a 13:1 student-faculty ratio but may need additional support to succeed. With a 24.40% six-year graduation rate, persistence matters more than perfect grades here.
