Hi,
I’m a current student at Penn State and I’m trying to get into the Marketing major at Smeal but I do not have the GPA requirement at all, so I was wondering what my chances are for getting into this major. Thanks
You may want to repost this in PSU’s specific forum, as people browsing “College Admissions” probably won’t know much about this.
There was a related post on the Penn State subreddit about Smeal and these were some of the responses:
“All smeal majors besides finance require a 3.2. Depending on the major (which is most of them) you will need that 3.2 to get in as that number binds them to making a seat for you regardless of capacity. If capacity in the major you want is met and you dont have the gpa they will more then likely deny your application to that major.”
“3.2 (3.5 for finance) guarantees you a spot. If you are below a 3.2 and meet all the pre rec classes, you may get offered a spot in a major which didn’t meet its quota, starting with students with GPA closest to 3.2 first. Majors that usually dont meet the quota are MIS, Management, and Marketing but it depends on the year. Some years all might meet their quota, some maybe not.”
