Work very hard so then you can get scholarships... everyone knows PSU only likes to give its money to football players but if you have very good grades you can get money, too.

I do not have any recommendations for acceptance.
If you are admitted and they try to talk you into a different major, walk away. Do not let them talk you into something you are not sure about.
Enroll as "undecided" to cover more options for you, b/c if you are in Commonwealth but wish to change your major to marketing, they will tell you "You needed to enroll in Smeal".

I worked hard ans studied hard. In order to get into Penn State, especially the main campus, youm ust keep your GPA high, and strive for the best

I applied to a branch campus instead of directly into main campus. I have heard that if you choose a major that only certain campuses offer, you have a better chance of getting into your first choice. After you get in, you can always change your mind.... I did 5 times.

Online application-your high school GPA is extremely important. For the honors college, your essays are the single most important factor. You have to have a 1350 SAT to apply, but it is not a factor in admission once you have met this minimum.

They basically let in anyone. You're basically gaurunteed a spot if you write an essay without mispellings. If you have a High School GPA above 3.1 and an SAT above 1200, they'll offer you a spot on the honors.

Admission is pretty competitive. I would suggest taking as many Honors or Advanced Placement courses as possible. SAT scores are huge if you're coming from Out-of-State. It is very hard to get in here from other states. Pennsylvania residents make up the majority of students, and admission is still quite competitive. Many students come from foreign countries, and several do come from other states creating a diverse environment. If you have low SAT scores or a weak high school transcript, consider going to a satellite campus such as Altoona, Erie, or Abington for the first two years of your education. Many students do this and relocate to University Park for their junior and senior years. This way, students can get the best of both worlds. The small, private college type setting, as well as the benefits of a major world-renowned research institution.

I could have gotten in here if I had done nothing in high school. But since I wanted to go to University of Virginia, Harvard, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, or one of the academies I did the following: was captain of my lacrosse team and was a county all star for two years, graduated in the top ten percent of my high school class, played the viola for 15 years, was a student council representative, was assistant editor-in-chief of my senior yearbook, played varsity soccer, did cross examination debate on the Forensics team for a year, participated in physics olympics every year, got about 18 credits towards college with AP tests, got National Merit Semifinalist award for my PSATs, worked a couple jobs, and planned school events, among other things. For any nonchalant student who wants to exceed the reputation he has bestowed upon himself with the name of a top fifty university like Penn State, I guess get about 1100 on your SATs, and don't do anything horrifically bad in your school curriculum. Apparently the university doesn't care about the level of intensity of your classes (unless they just screw up once in a while with in-staters) because I know of at least two upper middle class people who had every opportunity in the world to succeed in high school, got sub-1000s on their initial SATs, took average courses in high school and got Bs and Cs, and somehow still managed to get into main campus.
