...and a 76 on your unicorn driving test.

The Penn State entrance requirements seem a bit unreasonable:

"I’m not really worried about his eligibility to Penn State. With a 2.63 GPA out of high school, all you need is a 770 on your SAT or 63 on your ACT." - NittanyWhiteOut.com

770 on the new SAT = 17 questions more than writing your name on all 3 sections

I, for the record, drive one of these (but it’s in My Little Pony-pink).

Maybe you can get your diploma grandfathered in. Of course, you always have your blogging to fall back on to make a living.

770

Does that come after 769? Is this the score you get if you know your colors and shapes?

nittany whiteout posts gibberish

He’s completely clueless….

A 770 on his SAT wouldn’t get the kid into a Commonwealth Campus especially with the new SAT scoring. Now I won’t even get into the ACT comment because you already noted how stupid that was. I’m pretty sure Stephen Hawking would have a hard time getting into PSU if you needed a 69 on your ACT.

How much do those unicorn cars cost and do they get good gas mileage????

I think

the post is saying what the NCAA’s minimum requirements are for freshman eligibility. They use a sliding scale based on your GPA, the higher your GPA, the lower your SAT score can be. I’m pretty sure that has nothing to with Penn State’s admission requirement.
