Yes, PSU does accept many out of staters, but compared to the number of instate residents that applied, a smaller percentage of out of state applicants are interviewed. All PA schools are pretty similar, they don't get a terrible amount of state funding and therefore schools such as Pitt and Temple, only accept 50-60% of their residents to schools because many will choose to go to another state and pay 5K more in tuition or even just go to a private school.
