Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

no, because they are called landscape architecture BA's. They have three specialty streams: lawn mowing, weed and feed, and weed whacking.

I think they're two different animals. Landscape architecture is designing and building parks and shit. It's what Eddie George majored in before getting an MBA at Northwestern. Parks & Recreation is more maintaining the shit that your betters designed and built--you know, making sure that the grass is mowed, there's no squirrel crap in the sandbox and the teeter-totters are properly lubed. Of course, at ped state, most of the students sign up for the latter class thinking it'll instruct them into how to make sure that the tiny-tots are properly lubed.

It is just sad that they carry on so. You can bet that some of them are beavering away, trying to find some way to show that the ACT SAT score comparison can be slanted in their favor.

SPAB was already hard at work with the exaggerations
Your numbers are way off. When you take out the branch campus kids PSU's SAT rises considerably to above 2000 - elite status or public Ivy. The branches are taking anyone with a pulse these days dues to a declining business model and losing kids to the World Campus. ACT is irrelevant because SAT is the gold standard for PSU kids.

Above 2000? :lol:


And 9fold delivering on my prediction about Harvard...
Penn State is definitely a Public Ivy. Speaking of academics, Penn State's Schreyer Honors College is an Ivy League school within Penn State. See the link. Schreyer is outstanding. You don't develop an honors college like that with weak academics to start with.

Penn State isn't just a Public Ivy, but an outright Ivy League school. Just ignore the fact that it isn't actually an Ivy League school... just the honors program has acceptance standards on par with the Ivies.

Essentially the tbux guy dropped the microphone on them. His only failing was that he didn't link directly to the common data set on the PSU website and failed to truly dig into the common data set and show the statistical gap in Ohio State's favor. Eventually, they'll do what they do with any inconvenient FACTS! and EVIDENTS. They'll flush them down the memory hole as if they never existed, and tomorrow morning, they'll awaken as if the hard cold statistical evidence that Ohio State has an average ACT of 29 and they have one of 27 will never have existed in their world. In some BWI groundhog day universe, they'll be capable of making the same completely erroneous arguments in every bit as strident a manner a week from now as if nobody had ever produced hard, verifiable evidence that they were wrong.

As for their honors college, I'm sure it's very similar to that of Ohio State (and almost all the other Big Ten universities) in both content and admissions requirements. That being said, those entry requirements are still a big step down from what it takes to get into a truly elite (Ivy, Chicago, Stanford, MIT/CalTech) school.

I'm not him but one night when I was younger I got obliterated in Pittsburgh and from what I can recall of the next morning, I'm pretty sure I fucked the Pennsy Kraken.
