<p>I'm a bit worried about my acceptance to Penn State. Although I am fairly positive that I will get in, i am concerned because I just recently decided I want to go for a Business major, but i believe I put "Undecided" on my application. How do I apply to Smeal once I have been accepted to PSU?</p>
<p>Call admissions. My son was in a similar situation. He applied as an engineering major and was accepted, but wanted to change to business. He called admissions and they said they would re-evaluate his application for admission to the business school because the criteria for admission to Smeal was tougher than for engineering. He was accepted to Smeal. If you are accepted as undecided, you can still take the entrance to major classes for the business majors during your first 2 years. If you meet the requirements, you can apply to a Smeal major in the spring of your sophomore year. I think you need to get at least a C in those classes and have a certain GPA (differs by major). Most of the Smeal majors require a 3.0 or better, some require a higher GPA.</p>
<p>Thank you for the help! Just out of curiosity, do you know how long it took PSU to re-evaluate your son’s application? Although I could still do the entrance to major classes, I think I’d feel much safer if I was actually accepted to Smeal. Either way, I’m starting to get very excited about my hopeful acceptance!</p>
<p>I think it took a couple weeks. He was accepted to engineering in November and called to switch to Business in January (?). I think he called several times. If you haven’t gotten a decision yet, you can probably just get them to make the change on your application. Good luck!</p>
