11.3%!!!!!!

<p>Wow, so unfortunately for me i Got denied for admission at cal poly. I just got my rejection letter yesterday and they told me how many applicants applied and how many seats were available. The numbers are startling. I know oops was saying how he felt maybe the acceptance rate was going to drop to about 33% this year, well subtract 22 from that and u have ur acceptance rate. Yeah the acceptance rate this year at cal poly was 11.3%. They had over 37000 people apply and only enough space to admit 4600 students. I will say whoever got accepted to cal poly this year, I have to say again congratulations on getting in during a very very competitive year. Hope you all do well.</p>

<p>Ohh, jeez. I'm sorry to hear that. A lot of my friends got into Cal Poly for majors like Computer Engineering, Political Science, Social Sciences, etc.</p>

<p>:) I'm sure you'll get into other great schools! Don't worry about it.</p>

<p>WHAT? No.....Wow I feel so special right now! OMG :o</p>

<p>I don't really care, the first not i was bummed, but then i just accepted it. I'm not going to stress and worry about something due to the outcome when it already happened. I have 4 more schools to hear from so hopefully good news comes in those waves.</p>

<p>I'm sure the admissions rate was very competitive but I don't think it was at 11%. I think 11% represents the amount of people who are accepted then actually enroll at Cal Poly. All schools take into account a large percentage of people who are accepted but then go elsewhere.</p>

<p>With 4,600 available seats and the yield of 33% (which in reality is probably lower) they need to admit 4,600 * 3 = 13,800 people which is 35-40% admission rate.</p>

<p>^same. 11% just seems too low. it's probably the % of admitted students who will actually enroll at Cal Poly.</p>

<p>too good to be true for me ha.</p>

<p>yield rates will prob go up because of the economy.</p>

<p>For Fall 2008, </p>

<p>37,913 applied
12,416 were selected (32.75 percent)
4,194 enrolled (11% of applicants, 34% yield of selected students) </p>

<p>Sounds like the number of applicants for Fall 2009 was almost the same, and if they enroll 4600, that would be more than actually enrolled for 2008. I suspect the yield may exceed 34% this year because Cal Poly is much better priced than the UC's, and Cal Poly competes for many of the same students.</p>

<p>I thought Cal Poly was trying to reduce the enrollment size?</p>

<p>i guess i read into it too far, sorry about that guys.</p>

<p>Yeah I'm pretty sure Cal Poly accepted more than 11% of applicants.. Im guessing about 40-42k applied and maybe 13-15k will be accepted.. Overall about a 27-32% acceptance rate.. But everyone that did get accepted should feel pretty privileged.. I know people that would kill to be going to Cal Poly next year.</p>

<p>like me.....lol.</p>

<p>Oh wait, read your statement wrong.lol.</p>

<p>KoreanBoi92, a girl got into Cal Poly Biology from my school with a 3.3gpa 1800sat. Might give you a little hope..</p>

<p>hmm.nice. I dunno, I'm going to be pre-med, but I really do not want to take bio classes like 24/7.lol. So I'm leaning towards nutrition because it doesn't have as much bio requirements. But I'm doing ED for sure though.</p>

<p>i got in with a 3.8 1470/ 2400 sat I lmao. </p>

<p>i didn't care about sat I because i thought i was going to go to a jc. I also took the sat I only once.</p>

<p>about me :
asian
lots of hard science classes (ap chem and ap physics )
business focused classes </p>

<p>dont give up hope!</p>

<p>Amazing Snipy.. You got into Orfalea School of Business? You are extremely lucky.</p>

<p>nice.</p>

<p>I still don't agree with Cal Poly's service area thing. Not too many people live in SLO county and surrounding areas. They should extend it down to Ventura county,LOL.</p>

<p>On the other hand i did win awards in computer accounting. i also have a slew of business based classes. I'm also a minority so i guess that plays a big role. What I'm trying to say is don't lose hope! </p>

<p>my friend got in human resources and management.</p>

<p>about him:
asian
sat I 1500/2400 gpa: 3.3
lots of business classes
no aps o.o </p>

<p>now that is lucky!</p>

<p>Ethnic status plays no role in admissions whatsoever.. Human resources and managemnt? Do you mean Forestry and Natural Resource Management?</p>
