<p>If I don’t get accepted into my first choice of school, this is the dilemma I will face:UA or Penn State. I live in Alabama and that is the primary reason I don’t want to got there (I’d like to get away). I really like the dorms at Alabama (really the best), the food, the incredible school spirit and just many really good programs. The Dean of the Honors College gives many presentations at my school to encourage us to go there and constantly claims the Honors College is better than Northwestern, Harvard, etc. There are many incentives to being in the Honors College so if you decide to attend, definitely apply for that. I will say this about Alabama: they will do everything in their power to make sure you get a job or get into grad school after college. They make a lot of good relationships with many companies, send you out to internships and write many letters on your behalf. The Marketing program (the one I am interested in) has 100% job placement and thats the goal for every program at the university. Over the weeks I’ve spent there participating in various programs, I’ve talked to many people starting their senior year and already have a firm job offer from companies they’ve interned with. We skyped with people who got tremendous help in getting jobs in New York, California, Chicago, etc.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about Penn State to cpnvincd you, however the school really intrigues me and if I get accepted, I will definitely visit and do way more research. </p>
