Change Campus to UP before 2 years?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State

<p>Hi, I'm going to be attending Penn State Hazleton, but I'm wondering if it is possible at all to transfer to University Park before 2 years are completed. Initially due to various family issues I didn't feel University Park would have even been an option and I therefore didn't apply. Chances are I wouldn't have gotten in with my credentials, but I'm regretting my decision to not even try applying to the main campus. I understand the diploma will say "Penn State University" no matter which campus I attend, but I feel University Park would overall provide a better experience for me. Hazleton is an extraordinarily small campus, and there are a number of classes that I'd like to take but aren't offered at Hazleton.</p>

<p>For those interested my high school credentials are:
GPA: 3.4 UW
SAT: Highest single sitting is 2010 (740M 670V 600W) Highest individual subscores are 760M 670V 600W
ACT w/ Writing: 32 (I don't remember the subscores off hand)</p>

<p>My declared major is premedicine.</p>

<p>I know others have asked about that, and I believe it’s nearly impossible to do. (Otherwise, everyone would just go to a branch campus for one semester and then transfer to UPark.) </p>

<p>Of course, you can always give it a shot. Here’s info about changing your campus:</p>

<p>Thanks for the response, I was pretty sure it was nearly impossible, but I wanted to be sure. I’ll talk with my adviser to see what’s doable. I do have quite a few AP credits, so I might run into the situation where many of the courses required for the major aren’t available before I actually complete two years.</p>
