In my state (Michigan) quite a few of the Community Colleges have transfer agreements with some of the in-state PA schools. So perhaps check with the community college where you took those courses and ask if such a program exists. In most cases, if your grades are good the transfer program almost guarantees a spot. 

Here's a page for my local Community College that lists all the transfer agreements they have:

Your post had me really excited - guaranteed admission inside of an articulation agreement would be a rare find, but unfortunately, it's not guaranteed "admission" rather guaranteed transfer. After finishing your CC courses, you still have to earn a bachelor's degree on your own somewhere and then apply to PA school. But still, I am a HUGE fan of all things "guaranteed" and I agree that it is for sure worth looking at locally too.
