I'm considering applying to Penn State Brandywine, but I'm having trouble finding their acceptance rate. Can anyone here provide any info on how tough it is to gain admission?
Penn State Brandywine, like many of Penn State's Commonwealth campuses, tends to have a higher acceptance rate compared to University Park (the main campus). At Brandywine, the acceptance rate is approximately 95%. To give you a better idea, University Park's acceptance rate hovers around 50%. Therefore, gaining admission to Brandywine should, in general, be less competitive.
However, admission will still depend on several factors such as your GPA, coursework rigor, extracurricular involvement, and possibly your intended major. Though it's good to be aware of an institution's acceptance rate, I would also recommend you to focus on strengthening your application to ensure you present the best version of yourself.
