My daughter is enjoying her freshman year and is happy with her choice to become a Mustang.</p>

<p>Yup both kids at Cal Poly and my wife and I are also CP grads. Our daughter cant wait to push the accept button when it shows up on her portal.</p>
<p>For those that had their early decision disappear, we know of quite a few kids that did not make ED but were accepted RD. Good luck! **</p>
<p>Will I have a good chance of getting into Food Science? GPA (that I listed on the application) is 3.81 and I have a 26 ACT.</p>
<p>Does Cal Poly expect me to keep the GPA I listed on the app through senior year too? Because I know San Diego State does it.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a 100% positive answer for the whole “early decision” disappearing issue?</p>
<p>I got in for child development on December 4th, 2010!!! yay!! anyone else get in to Child Development?? For some reason it won’t let me log on to my cal poly portal? It says that I have entered an invalid username of password but it’s right? and it won’t let me change my password either!! But I got an email saying congratulations! So i’m pretty sure I got in =]</p>
<p>stephjmay’s post reminded me to make a point. Last year some students, including my daughter, did not get the email. After some investigation it turned up in her junk mail folder. So, if you have the portal ED acceptance message, and several days go by without the email, look in your mail system’s junk mail folder.</p>

<p>seriously, one of you guys should give admissions a call and get the definitive answer on this. The accepted definition of ED is BINDING except for medical or financial reasons, but either of these would have to have supporting documentation to null the contract.</p>
<p>I don’t see that Cal Poly’s policy is any different than EDs all over the US: don’t apply ED unless this is your first choice, and you can live with the finaid package. Maybe Cal Poly has some window of “I changed my mind” implied by the Jan 15 deadline to reply, but that seems unlikely.</p>
<p>I don’t have a horse in this race, so don’t feel compelled to call, but some of you clearly need an answer. Come on, make the call, and post the answer!</p>
<p>I just called the admission office…the message changing from “early decision” to just “thank you for applying” means that you in fact got deferred from early decision and moved to regular 
i was deferred for early :/</p>
<p>Same here 
sucks</p>
<p>stephjmay, what are your stats? my dtr is interested in applying to the child development major next year.</p>
<p>I got conditional admission for bio. I also applied for some of the UC’s. I’m not sure whether the bio program at slo is better than at UCSC, UCI and Davis and the deadline to reply is Jan 15 so thats way before the UC decisions. Any insights on what I should do???</p>
<p>^^^ If this is an ED acceptance, I would imagine you would just notify the other schools that you got into your first choice school and hit the accept button for CPSLO…although I’m hearing that you’re not sure about Cal Poly now?? I thought once someone applied for ED, it meant they knew that acceptance was binding under most circumstances.</p>
<p>I didn’t realize that I applied for ED but it said I did so idk. And im not sure that its binding bc its giving me the option to not accept it.</p>
<p>vrprpl Im in the same position as you!</p>
<p>I found out you can decline the offer.
If you hit “accept”, it is binding, you must go to the school nomatter what.
If you hit “decline”, you loose all chances at attending the school.</p>
<p>So it is a very tough decision, and I do like Cal Poly, but I know their science program is not as strong as the UCs.</p>
<p>Sigh… I also clicked ED without realizing it also.</p>
