No restrictions. You'd have to be criminally insane to not get accepted into PSU. And then they'd just prep you for the administrative track anyway. Har, har.

It is not terribly difficult to get accepted to PSU. Make sure you do decent on your ACT or SAT and do decently in High School. It is more than likely you will be accepted.

I attended Lane Community College in Eugene first, andDec 23 2010Other
I attended Lane Community College in Eugene first, and though I kept my GPA at a 3.5, I don't think PSU requires more than a 2.5 upon entrance, which I think is way too low. It's always best to be certain what degree path you want to take BEFORE you waste time and money on college. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches if you take time to do some soul searching before entering university. Community college is a fantastic place to get your feet wet and do some exploration prior to entering university. Once you've got an idea of where you want to end up in terms of your future career, you've then got a track to follow, and the university system won't seem like such a labyrinth.
