• Question:-Clemson???
  Does Clemson University have a Marine Biology as a major???? Please answer yes or no!!! one of my friends says yes but I cant find it on there website.
  USC Charleston rocks but so does Clemson. and anyway my bf wants to go there, and we both want the same profession, Marine Biology. I have wanted that since 5th grade!! he has since 6th!!
  
  Answer:-Through the biology department you can choose an interest in marine biology. The link below shows faculty members who are interested in that field. I would suggest contacting one of them for more information about that field at Clemson. Good luck.
• Question:-what does it take to get accepted into Clemson University?
  I have a GPA of 3.7, my class rank is 60 out of 400, and I am taking all AP and Honors classes also next year I will be taking IB and more AP classes. I am involved in many extracurricular activities, i would really like to go to Clemson when i graduate. Am i on the right track to getting in, and what could I do to make my chances of getting in better?
  
  Answer:-Admission to Clemson is all about academics, academics, academics. And SAT scores. Your GPA and your class rank (top 15%) will definitely get Clemson's attention, as will your AP and IB courses. I'd say you're on the right track--just make sure you nail your SAT score. Take some prep courses if you feel you need to.
  
  Clemson does not consider extracurricular activities in its admissions decision, so just keep that in mind. I don't ever want to tell students to drop their extracurriculars, but will only say to make sure they're not affecting your grades or otherwise distracting your academics.
  
  If you have a relative who goes/went to Clemson, make sure you mention that. Clemson takes "legacy" status into consideration. And if you're in-state your chances are better than if you're out-of-state.
  
  Long story short I think you've got a great chance. Good luck!
• Question:-How does Clemson's undergraduate physics program rank nationally?
  I'm trying to make an educated decision between NC State and Clemson, and as a physics major the quality of the undergraduate physics program is of great importance to me. I'm looking for any empirical data comparing the two physics programs; also, if anyone has any firsthand experience in Clemson's physics program, your input would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Answer:-Clemson is better than NC State, for physics and most other programs as well. Undergraduate physics programs aren't ranked; grad programs are, and Clemson isn't in the top 100, but rankings are directly proportional to how many PhDs you graduate per year, and Clemson has a much smaller program than most schools. However, they do have a good number of great professors and a lot of opportunities for undergraduates to do research. Recent graduates from there have gone to some top graduate programs.
• Question:-How to get college information mailed to you from Clemson University?
  I'm a Junior in high school and I have been requesting information from many colleges to be mailed to me, from their website.
  
  For some reason, I can't find any link on the Clemson site to fill out a form for information to be mailed to me.
  
  Can someone help me out?
  
  Answer:-Here's a link to request program information. Good luck!

• Question:-Do students who apply to Clemson from out of state usually get accepted?
  I am a student attending high school in New York and my main choice for college is Clemson University. My grades are above 90 and I play baseball as well. I have yet to take my SAT's so that is the one thing I need to do well on before I apply to Clemson. Please, let me know any additional information on what else I need to do before I apply to Clemson.
  
  Answer:-Clemson's student body is about 1/3 out-of-state students, but it's a competitive admissions environment for out-of-staters. I would recommend your SAT scores be above the 75th percentile, which is around 1360 (out of 1600; they require all 3 sections of the SAT now, i believe, but I don't know what the percentiles are for the scores out of 2400). Anything over 1400 (out of 1600) will definitely get their attention. If you're taking any AP courses, sending your scores to Clemson will get their attention as well--providing they're 3 or higher of course :) Also your class rigor (how many advanced classes you're taking), GPA, and class rank will have a big effect on their decision.
  
  Clemson doesn't consider extracurricular activities in their admissions, so don't go overboard with those trying to be a "well-rounded" applicant--Clemson's more interested in your academic potential, with the philosophy that there will be plenty of time once you get there to become well rounded (and that's true--there are oodles of extracurriculars to choose from on campus).
  
  Lastly, if you have a relative who's a Clemson alumni, you should absolutely mention that on your application. It does have an influence on admissions decisions.
  
  Best of luck!!
• Question:-What is the hardest majors at Clemson University in order from hardest to easiest?
  I have been searching the web and can't find a place that shows the hardest majors at Clemson University...Does anyone know where I can find one or have a list of them in ranking?
  
  Answer:-You won't find such a list because Clemson doesn't publish one--officially it doesn't exist. But unofficially and off the top of my head, the hardest majors at Clemson traditionally include
  + Architecture (Clemson has an elite architecture school)
  + Engineering of any kind
  + Nursing
  + Business
  + Accounting
  + Graphic Design
  + Microbiology
  
  Clemson also has an outstanding education department; I know it's considered very challenging, but I don't know if it's considered "hard".
  
  Easiest majors are traditionally ones like PRTM, Language and International Trade, English, and some of the liberal arts courses. But to be honest, I think that's misleading--those majors are all very challenging! I don't know of any majors at Clemson that are "easy". Your guidance counselor would probably have better insight at what majors are easier to *get into*, though.
• Question:-How is the undergraduate engineering program at Clemson?
  I have a previous degree in bio and am considering transferring to Clemson for engineering. I have an interest in biomed/mechanical engineering...how is the program and the school/ area overall? Any advice?
  
  Thanks!
  
  Answer:-Clemson has an outstanding undergraduate engineering program in all the engineering disciplines, including Mechanical engineering. It is known as an engineering school, and with good reason.

• Question:-Is Clemson university among the top universities like Georgia Tech?
  I would like to know the ranking of Clemson university. Is it a top university?Is it a private university? Is it among the top-graded universities? What about the placements?Please help.How do you compare Goergia Tech with Clemson ?Is the former a good university?
  
  Answer:-Clemson is a public, land-grant university. It has been ranked the 22nd-best public university in the country for 2 years in a row now (and I believe 61st best university overall?), so yes it's an excellent school. It has an outstanding engineering program that is highly respected throughout the Southeast, in engineering hubs around the country (i.e. Washington DC, Washington State), and indeed nationwide. It is one of the harder schools to get into.
  
  Georgia Tech is absolutely an excellent school as well and you would do well to be accepted by either institution. I think Georgia Tech probably has a better reputation than Clemson as an engineering school, but I suspect that's because it has a huge focus on engineering itself while Clemson has a much broader set of majors in engineering, science, humanities, and the liberal arts.
• Question:-Has Clemson ever worn orange jerseys and purple pants? If so do you know when was the last time they did?
  Has Clemson ever worn orange jerseys and purple pants? If so do you know when the last time it was?
  
  Answer:-No, they've never worn that combination. They've worn the opposite combo (orange pants and purple jerseys) multiple times, but never orange jerseys and purple pants. It's the only combination of orange, purple, and white they haven't worn.
  
  I believe that before the 2006 Georgia Tech game, the team warmed up in purple pants and orange jerseys. But they switched to all-purple before the game started.

penn state

• Question:-Penn state?
  What would you consider the best branch campus of penn state and why? im applying for main but if i dont get in, i probably am still going to go there. thanks for the help/suggestions!
  
  Answer:-I'm a sophomore at Altoona. Honestly, I love it SO much. It's only an hour from main campus so the option of attending games is always there.
  
  This campus is beautiful any time of the year. The classes are smallish (my largest [the Gen-Eds] are about 80 kids) and the professors actually care about us.
  
  I adore it here, definitely consider PSU Altoona, and feel free to contact me with any questions :)
  
  Oh, BTW--I'm from NJ, but I still feel right at home and comfortable at PSUA.
• Question:-Penn State?
  im a junior in high school, and im looking into colleges. i was on the Penn State website, but it doesnt specify if i can get a degree in interior design (and fashion if possible). Does anyone know if Penn State offers degrees in those?
  
  Answer:-It doesn't look like Penn state offers an Interior Design degree. However, the following schools in Pennsylvania do:
  
  Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts - York
  The Art Institute of Philadelphia - Philadelphia
  The Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
  Arcadia University - Glenside
  Drexel University - Philadelphia
  Harcum College - Bryn Mawr
  La Roche College - Pittsburgh
  Marywood University - Scranton
  Moore College of Art & Design - Women's Art and Design College - Philadelphia
  Philadelphia University - Philadelphia
• Question:-penn state?
  what are the the required scores for the sat and act for penn state college?
  ya Penn State U
  
  Answer:-You mean Penn State University? We're a university, not a college. What are your current SAT scores? You're going to need high SAT scores if you want to get onto Main Campus. If you have lower SATs you'll probably get an offer acceptance at a branch campus, then you'll transfer to Main in about 2 years.
• Question:-How does the Penn state football team travel to away games in other states?
  When the Penn state football team travels to away games how do they get there? Is it by plane or bus?
  
  Answer:-mostly by airplane
• Question:-Is it possible to reapply to a different Penn State campus after already applying to another?
  I recently sent in my application and set Penn State Berks as my primary choice and the University Park as my alternate. I thought I wanted to go to Berks for sure, but I'm thinking I might as well take advantage of my good grades in high school, and try to go to University Park.
  
  I already paid the enrollment fees, and have accepted Penn State's offer. Is it possible to try and switch yet? Or is it too late?
  
  Answer:-It's not too late until classes start.. your enrollment fees will vary from college to college as refundable.. each probably has a cutoff date to cancel the enrollment, check with the college administration... only they may know that answer..doesn't hurt to ask
  
• Question:-How does a sorority at penn state purchase a house/senior house?
  I read that it would potentially be possible for a sorority to purchase a house at penn state and use that instead of living on the floor and having a suite. I was just curious if there is any truth to it.
  
  Answer:-There are no actual brothel laws ANYWHERE. Anyone who says there are, is just repeating old rumors. See source.
  
  There are no brothel laws at Penn State, but there are zoning restrictions on land. From The Collegian archive; http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2003/10/10-07-03tdc/10-07-03dnews-01.asp
  
  Talk to your house corporation board, they will know if there is any way for you to get official sorority housing. If you getting a house would make you the only sorority with a house, Panhellenic will have a problem with it. Dues will go up if you get a house.
  
  To circumvent all the issues (and get a house quickly) have a few sisters get together and rent a house. Work around the zoning restrictions. You won't get the official sorority house designation, but you can hold sisterhood events there.
• Question:-How good do you think Penn State football will be next season?
  I was wondering your opinion on how well penn state will do, and how far they would make, and how high would they rank, stuff like that. Also please tell me how big our chances are at getting Terrelle Pryor if you can. Thanks!
  Also maybe how big is the chance we install the spread with Daryl clark and/or Terrelle pryor?
  
  Answer:-not very good and also not very bad. They need to hire new coach.
• Question:-What is Penn State looking for in the personal statement?
  It's only 1200 characters! How do I fit anything into that? My introduction is 808 characters already.
  Anyone know any sites with examples of penn state personal statements? Or better, personal experience with writing it?
  
  Answer:-Yeah you're going to want to cut that intro down hun! They get tens of thousands of applications yearly, so it takes a long time to read anything. Basically, have a short intro introducing yourself, explain a few qualities about yourself in the body (using real world examples) and then wrap it up with a nice little conclusion. Short and sweet is the way to go! Keep it basic but also make sure you can get your points across and make your personality shine through, and you will be fine!
• Question:-What type of personality do you have to have to go to penn state main and fit in?
  What type of personality do you have to have to go to penn state main and fit in?
  What kind of personality gets into Penn State Main? Like, when they were in high school, what were they like? Or what were you like in high school (if you made it in)? Do the shy kids make a reputation there? Or are most of the penn state main students partiers from the start?
  
  Answer:-there is no such thing

• Question:-What campus at Penn State should I go to?
  I'm a junior in high school, and once I graduate, I was planning on going to community college for a year or two so it won't be as expensive. From there, I was planning on going to Penn State (of course, if I'm accepted) and I want to major in Astronomy and minor in Physics.
  
  I just don't know what campus to go to? I'm planning on going to that campus for two years, and then going to University Park for my Junior and Senior years.
  
  But what campus should I go to for my Freshman and Sophomore years?
  
  Answer:-I, too, don't understand the math and why you're planning for 6 years to complete your bachelor's degree. But assuming you start at a Penn State branch and end up at main campus, you're best bet is to attend a branch that has a bachelor's degree in Physics and/or Astronomy. Otherwise, there may not be many physics or astronomy courses available for you to take before transferring to University Park.
  
  I searched the PSU website for branches that have Astronomy or Physics baccalaureate programs and found only Penn State Erie (The Behrend College) with a listing of Physics as a major. In fact, I don't see Physics listed at University Park as an available major, either, but perhaps there's an explanation for that. As for Astronomy, only University Park appears to have this available, and it is in conjunction with Astrophysics.
  
  Of course, every branch will have plenty of gen eds to choose from. If your choice is based on campus location preference, I recommend Penn State Harrisburg. I earned my master's degree there and I really like that campus for its location, its proximity to a pleasant but not remote surrounding area, and its active campus life. I also like Penn State Altoona and Penn State Berks; Altoona is close to State College, which is a nice feature, and Berks is just a pretty campus.
  
  If money is the only factor (and you're not going to a community college), I will point out that the tuition difference between Harrisburg/Berks/Altoona/Erie and University Park is only about $1700 per semester right now, or approximately $3400 a year. If attending any other branch campus (other than the graduate schools at Great Valley, Hershey, and Dickinson), the tuition difference is more like $2200 a semester.
  
  I hope all of this helps! And go Penn State! :)

  Talk to your house corporation board, they will know if there is any way for you to get official sorority housing. If you getting a house would make you the only sorority with a house, Panhellenic will have a problem with it. Dues will go up if you get a house.
  
  To circumvent all the issues (and get a house quickly) have a few sisters get together and rent a house. Work around the zoning restrictions. You won't get the official sorority house designation, but you can hold sisterhood events there.
• Question:-How good do you think Penn State football will be next season?
  I was wondering your opinion on how well penn state will do, and how far they would make, and how high would they rank, stuff like that. Also please tell me how big our chances are at getting Terrelle Pryor if you can. Thanks!
  Also maybe how big is the chance we install the spread with Daryl clark and/or Terrelle pryor?
  
  Answer:-not very good and also not very bad. They need to hire new coach.
• Question:-What is Penn State looking for in the personal statement?
  It's only 1200 characters! How do I fit anything into that? My introduction is 808 characters already.
  Anyone know any sites with examples of penn state personal statements? Or better, personal experience with writing it?
  
  Answer:-Yeah you're going to want to cut that intro down hun! They get tens of thousands of applications yearly, so it takes a long time to read anything. Basically, have a short intro introducing yourself, explain a few qualities about yourself in the body (using real world examples) and then wrap it up with a nice little conclusion. Short and sweet is the way to go! Keep it basic but also make sure you can get your points across and make your personality shine through, and you will be fine!

• Question:-What campus at Penn State should I go to?
  I'm a junior in high school, and once I graduate, I was planning on going to community college for a year or two so it won't be as expensive. From there, I was planning on going to Penn State (of course, if I'm accepted) and I want to major in Astronomy and minor in Physics.
  
  I just don't know what campus to go to? I'm planning on going to that campus for two years, and then going to University Park for my Junior and Senior years.
  
  But what campus should I go to for my Freshman and Sophomore years?
  
  Answer:-I, too, don't understand the math and why you're planning for 6 years to complete your bachelor's degree. But assuming you start at a Penn State branch and end up at main campus, you're best bet is to attend a branch that has a bachelor's degree in Physics and/or Astronomy. Otherwise, there may not be many physics or astronomy courses available for you to take before transferring to University Park.
  
  I searched the PSU website for branches that have Astronomy or Physics baccalaureate programs and found only Penn State Erie (The Behrend College) with a listing of Physics as a major. In fact, I don't see Physics listed at University Park as an available major, either, but perhaps there's an explanation for that. As for Astronomy, only University Park appears to have this available, and it is in conjunction with Astrophysics.
  
  Of course, every branch will have plenty of gen eds to choose from. If your choice is based on campus location preference, I recommend Penn State Harrisburg. I earned my master's degree there and I really like that campus for its location, its proximity to a pleasant but not remote surrounding area, and its active campus life. I also like Penn State Altoona and Penn State Berks; Altoona is close to State College, which is a nice feature, and Berks is just a pretty campus.
  
  If money is the only factor (and you're not going to a community college), I will point out that the tuition difference between Harrisburg/Berks/Altoona/Erie and University Park is only about $1700 per semester right now, or approximately $3400 a year. If attending any other branch campus (other than the graduate schools at Great Valley, Hershey, and Dickinson), the tuition difference is more like $2200 a semester.
  
  I hope all of this helps! And go Penn State! :)

• Question:-Penn state?
  What would you consider the best branch campus of penn state and why? im applying for main but if i dont get in, i probably am still going to go there. thanks for the help/suggestions!
  
  Answer:-I'm a sophomore at Altoona. Honestly, I love it SO much. It's only an hour from main campus so the option of attending games is always there.
  
  This campus is beautiful any time of the year. The classes are smallish (my largest [the Gen-Eds] are about 80 kids) and the professors actually care about us.
  
  I adore it here, definitely consider PSU Altoona, and feel free to contact me with any questions :)
  
  Oh, BTW--I'm from NJ, but I still feel right at home and comfortable at PSUA.

• Question:-penn state?
  what are the the required scores for the sat and act for penn state college?
  ya Penn State U
  
  Answer:-You mean Penn State University? We're a university, not a college. What are your current SAT scores? You're going to need high SAT scores if you want to get onto Main Campus. If you have lower SATs you'll probably get an offer acceptance at a branch campus, then you'll transfer to Main in about 2 years.
• Question:-How does the Penn state football team travel to away games in other states?
  When the Penn state football team travels to away games how do they get there? Is it by plane or bus?
  
  Answer:-mostly by airplane
• Question:-Is it possible to reapply to a different Penn State campus after already applying to another?
  I recently sent in my application and set Penn State Berks as my primary choice and the University Park as my alternate. I thought I wanted to go to Berks for sure, but I'm thinking I might as well take advantage of my good grades in high school, and try to go to University Park.
  
  I already paid the enrollment fees, and have accepted Penn State's offer. Is it possible to try and switch yet? Or is it too late?
  
  Answer:-It's not too late until classes start.. your enrollment fees will vary from college to college as refundable.. each probably has a cutoff date to cancel the enrollment, check with the college administration... only they may know that answer..doesn't hurt to ask
  
• Question:-How does a sorority at penn state purchase a house/senior house?
  I read that it would potentially be possible for a sorority to purchase a house at penn state and use that instead of living on the floor and having a suite. I was just curious if there is any truth to it.
