If you come in with your private, you take a written test consisting of 50 questions (I think) right off the FAA Private Pilot Written. 70% is a pass. If (or should I say, when) you pass, you take the 2nd flight course (commercial) the fall of your freshman year.

Not to nit-pick, Evan, but that test is actually only to test out of AT144 (PPL ground). If you come in with your PPL, you're automatically in AT243, which is Commercial Flight I. If you don't test-out, you have to take AT144, but you're still in AT243.
