Hi there! The middle 50% of GPA ranges for accepted students at Penn State in Fall 2023 are as follows:

At University Park (main campus): 3.60-3.93 (on an unweighted 4.0 scale)

At all other campuses combined: 3.11-3.80 (on an unweighted 4.0 scale)

These averages can vary depending on the specific campus and program you're applying for, as some departments might have more competitive admission standards than others. It's important to remember that Penn State, like many other universities, considers other aspects of your application as well, such as your course rigor, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, and personal essays.

While aiming for a strong GPA is definitely important, focus on maintaining a well-rounded application to improve your chances of admission. Good luck with your college search and application process!
