2009 Acceptance Rating for Cal Poly SLO

<p>I got into the college of engineering, but my friend didn’t. On his denial letter it said a record 37000 kids applied and of those there are 4200 slots. Is this true?! I’m only wondering because an acceptance rate of about 11 percent is ridiculous!</p>

<p>is everyone retarded... just because there are 4700 spots doesnt mean everyone who gets accepted goes to slo. i could have applied to slo and harvard, gotten into both, and slo needs to account for that</p>

<p>If they said 4200 then that is the yield they hope to achieve...meaning they accept more than that and plan on 4200 actually attending. The acceptance rate is higher than 11 percent.</p>

<p>ok yea thats what i thought</p>

<p>But still...congrats on your acceptance!!!!!! Not an easy feat!!!!! Great engineering program and a great place to go to school!!</p>

<p>It was prob. still around 25% or so....which is small :/</p>
