Hey folks, I'm considering applying to Penn State Berks but I want to get an idea of how selective they are. Does anyone know about their acceptance rate?
Penn State Berks, like other Penn State campuses, tends to be relatively accessible. For the most recent class, the acceptance rate at Penn State Berks was around 97%.
Keep in mind, though, that an acceptance rate doesn't tell you everything. The admissions process takes many factors into consideration, including your high school GPA, rigor of your coursework, standardized test scores (if submitted), extracurricular activities, and any personal essays.
In other words, while knowing the acceptance rate may give you some context, a lot more goes into getting accepted beyond simply applying. Make sure that you're putting your best foot forward in each aspect of your application, rather than relying on the acceptance rate alone to get you in. Good luck!
