<p>Somewhere on that application she should have told them which college she was applying to (college of engineering, college of business, etc.) within the university. One of these “colleges” is call the Division of Undergraduate Studies, or affectionately known as DUS. This is basically for people who list their intended major as “undecided”.</p>
<p>For instance, if she applied to the Smeal college of Business (@ Penn State) she could have been given the 2+2 situation @ penn state altoona (i.e. Gen Eds and Pre Reqs at altoona, and Major Courses @ U-Park) because the college of business has pretty high standards for freshman. However, if she applied to DUS with U-Park as her first choice, she may get into U-Park because the standards are lessened, and it is easier to explore majors at the main campus.</p>
