Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State
1

<p>Hello everybody, just wanted to say that I will going to Penn State for Class of 2012. Sure, it might be a little early to call, but it is a lock. (family connections, 1400 SAT M & V, only school I'm applying to) However, my question really doesn't revolve around me. You see, I have this friend, who, at best, is borderline for UP, but would love to go.</p>

<p>What I am curious about is is there a certain college at UP that is a little more lenient than the others? (aka, not as high of stats needed for... let's say Smeal)</p>

<p>Also, he knows that the satellite route is a viable option for him. Are there any majors at any of the campuses that only require or permit 1 (one) year of study at the satellite? (for example, nursing, while he is not interested in that, is only for one year and then transfer to UP)</p>

<p>Anyway, thank you for your help and your time.</p>

<p>Right, what I've seen here is apply DUS (division of undergraduate studies) and summer session. That seems to work best for the border applicants. Here's some info for your friend: <a href="http://www.psu.edu/dus/md/mdmisper.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.psu.edu/dus/md/mdmisper.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
