[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They consider you for the main campus first. If your grades, test scores (if submitted), etc. don’t make the cut for your chosen major, they consider you for summer start. If you don’t make the cut for summer start OR you asked not to be considered for summer start, they will offer you 2+2 at another campus with the option to transfer junior year. [/quote]

OP here.  My kid, non-STEM, has a 3.93 UW, 14 APs including 2 sciences, math through Calc II, all AP history and English courses and capstone. And a submitted 1380 SAT (their range is 1270-1450). I would be shocked if it was their grades that did not make the cut. There are parents on the FB college site whose kids with high SATs than mine were placed in the summer program.  
  
To the other PP - as mentioned PSU is their second choice. We should hear back from the first choice school soon. I think, though, given the merit aid offers from higher ranked schools that DS liked, he should reconsider whether PSU is a true second choice. The summer program is not cheap. [/quote]

Not sure what the point of this thread is then. Sounds like Penn State is ruled out. He shouldn’t have selected the summer box if starting in the summer was a deal breaker.[/quote]

The question in the OP is “did anyone else encounter this?” I am guessing that is the point of the thread?[/quote]
