Transfer to Penn State

[ctdrmmnd]

Does anyone have any expierence or knowledge of transferring to Penn State from an out of state community college? I want to know the GPA I would need to get into the school for aerospace engineering. I’ve also heard that I would have to spend 2 years at a branch college before going to University Park, is that true?

Transferring directly to University Park:
Student must have completed two years (4 semesters) of full-time college coursework at another institution and/or another Penn State campus by the time of transfer to be eligible for admission.
Students with less than the 4 semesters of work are eligible to transfer to Penn State, but they must transfer to a campus other than University Park (and then work with their adviser and program on transitioning to University Park as a Penn State student).

Aerospace Engineering (AERSP)
(Start at any Campus and Finish: University Park)
No transfer admission at University Park. Applicants who have less than two years of attempted college coursework may apply for admission to the College of Engineering pre-major status (ENGR) at a campus other than University Park. 4 credits of college calculus are required.

Do you know what GPA you need to be a serious consideration? A 2.5 GPA is not going to get me in.
