Admissions Overview
Penn State York has open admission with a 92.87% acceptance rate. Nearly all applicants who meet basic requirements will gain entry to this regional Penn State campus. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1090-1300 on the SAT, with an average of 1195. These scores reflect students who are college-ready but may not meet the higher standards required for University Park admission. The school seeks students who want to begin their Penn State journey in a smaller environment with a 12:1 student-faculty ratio. York particularly appeals to students planning to transfer to complete their four-year degrees at other Penn State campuses after establishing a strong academic foundation.
