[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn State - engineering [/quote]
Congratulations!

By the way, is the engineering program at Penn State a direct admit?  Or do prospective engineering students have to apply specifically into the engineering program during their sophomore year?   I thought that an acceptance from Penn State means acceptance into the university, but not a specific major.  [/quote]

DP, but no there is no direct admit into engineering.  You are admitted into pre-engineering and everyone applies (usually toward end of sophomore year) for your specific major like computer science, etc. if you have a certain GPA.  I’ve heard the only advantage in getting accepted directly into pre-engineering/computer science, etc. is that some classes have enrollment limits that can only be overridden for those admitted into the pre-engineering programs - especially some of the summer LEAP classes.

Not exactly sure how it works, but my kid’s acceptance letter states admission into the College of Engineering Pre-Major-to University Park. Not sure what the difference is between that and direct admit.[/quote]
