My son has a 3.3 cumulative average after his sophomore year at Penn State University Park and he was not accepted at the Smeal School of Business. Can anyone suggest options that he may have at this very late stage? What Business Schools would he qualify with a 3.3 GPA from Penn State’s main campus? His core course GPA is 3.11. Penn State appears to be set on a 3.2 core course minimum to be able to apply, so he has not been able even to apply to Smeal and his do over summer course strategy did not work, couod not get the A he needed in statistics.
St. Joseph’s in Philadelphia, Duquesne in Pittsburgh perhaps. That would have to be a Spring transfer though.
Pen State Harrisburg?
Maybe Temple, Pitt, or West Chester. Or could he stay at Penn State and be an Economics major? What specialty is he interested in? He will most likely need to apply for spring semester if he wants to transfer. However, there may be some PASSHE or private schools still accepting transfer applications for this fall.
If I were your son, I’d focus on improving my GPA and shooting for a decent MBA program.
