<p>You should not have a problem. If you need an essay I would focus on anything bio/medical related. Go to the PSU science/bio website and look around and see what might interest you. If you want call the dept and talk to them about what they look for in transfers. Is there any research that peaks your interest? You can call or email a prof and ask them about the opportunities in their labs. Ask them if there are any roadblocks getting into your major.</p>

<p>If you do enough research into what PSU Bio dept has going on you can talk with them intelligently about getting into PSU and getting involved with them.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
