I do not have any recommendations for acceptance.
If you are admitted and they try to talk you into a different major, walk away. Do not let them talk you into something you are not sure about.

Enroll as "undecided" to cover more options for you, b/c if you are in Commonwealth but wish to change your major to marketing, they will tell you "You needed to enroll in Smeal".
SAT: 1120 Female

Don't stress so much over the SATs or ACTsMar 03 2004School of Information
Don't stress so much over the SATs or ACTs. They're great, but they won't kill you if you don't have an amazing score. Focus mainly on your high school transcript: GPA, activities, awards, etc. You don't have to be perfect, just competitive. Don't be too let down if you get deferred to another campus.
SAT: 1540 Male
