Competitive major?!

<p>Is political science a hard major to get accepted into as a girl? Or does that help chances?
Does what major you pick affect acceptance? Is Poly sci at pennstate hard to get into?</p>

<p>I can’t think of any reason that someone’s chances at getting in as a poli sci major would be affected by their sex.</p>

<p>Generally, not unless it’s a super impacted major that’s already getting a ton of applicants (engineering at some schools, for instance). I don’t know much about Penn State to comment on that specifically, but I would think that poli sci wouldn’t run into that issue to the point where it’d be a concern.</p>
