The admissions committee for your selected field at the Smeal College of Business has decided to decline your preliminary application.
These faculty consider a variety of issues, including but not limited to GMAT performance, prior academic performance and appropriateness of the prior degree, expressed orientation toward research, and English language ability. The process is very competitive.
Good luck in your future endeavors and thank you for your interest in the Smeal College of Business' doctoral program.
yes. It seems only PSU uses this kind of preapplication. Its program is really competitive. But it depends on the match between your research interests and backgrouds with those of their faculty. It is really really hard for international student to survive there. One of my Chinese friends got admitted 3 or 4 years ago but droped after getting his masters degree. And one of my programmate who is in the second year got admitted by PSU but finally chose my school.He did not like their atmosphere.BTW, he is an American. So, do not be upset. There are many other good schools! Go ahead!!!
