<p>I was accepted at both Penn State and American University and I dont know which one to pick. I want to double major in political science and economics if i go to Penn State and American has the perfect interdisciplinary major for me. I have always wanted to be in DC but American is a lot more money than Penn State. Which one should i pick? Why?</p>
<p>Also, can anyone tell me about the poli sci program at Penn State</p>
<p>personally i'd pick penn st. i applied to both and got rejected from au but accepted to penn. my friend got into american and his stats were lower than mine and mines were just about perfect and i know my app was good but i still got rejected. doesnt matter, even if i had gotten accepted i still woulda chosed penn st. its a better school overall according to the u.s news ranks. i dont know about poli sci but i think penn has a better economics program. im really not sure im just basing this on what i heard. you should research and compare programs. well just go with your gut and pick whatever u think will suit you. dont worry i think everyone's having this problem.</p>
<p>i was deciding between AU and Penn State, but chose Penn State because I think there are more opportunities for what i want to get into. but I know AU's poli sci program is great. good luck!</p>

Would you mind posting your stats (particularly GPA, rank, and SAT I, II/ACT)? That would help me out a lot! Thanks.</p>
