<p>GPA blew, probably a bit lucky to get in at all, SATs were solid though i guess.</p>
<p>The Architecture program is so hard to get into. I got the stats from the admissions and 900 applied for Architecture and 900 for Landscape Arch. I originally applied Architecture and got denied. Then got a package saying how they accepted me into Landscape. This is the second year they are doing the alternate Major admission. Only 20 students got this letter. So I am hoping after first semester I can transfer to Architecture. People always drop and switch majors so I am not too worried.</p>
<p>if your son really wants PSU…you might try the following: call admissions and ask them if they might re-consider UP if he changes his major to DUS and does the summer session. If they agree, he can try to still try to get into Smeal later when he declares his major. I’ve heard of some students changing their majors from other more competitive majors to less competitive ones in the admissions process. Good luck.</p>

<p>Ive been accepted to PSU and UCF and now I’m trying to decide beteween the two. My dream school was UNLV, but I decided I’d go there for grad school. My ultimate career goal is to end up in a management position in the Disney World Resort, which is originally why I was looking into UCF. It will actually cost me more to go to UCF because I’m out of state, so now I’m just trying to decide what I should choose. Any advice would be appreciated!</p>
