Admissions Overview
Penn State Fayette is open admission with an 80.73% acceptance rate, meaning most students who apply get in. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1020 and 1210 on the SAT, with an average of 1115. As a regional campus of Penn State, admissions are much less competitive than the main University Park campus. Students typically need a solid C+ to B average in high school rather than top grades. The school looks for students who want the Penn State experience and degree but prefer smaller classes (9:1 student-faculty ratio) and a close-knit community feel. This campus works well for students who thrive with more personal attention from professors.
