<p>Nevermind,It changed to official admitted. I really dodged a bullet there. Guess cal poly is really desperate for money right now. Well see you guys there.</p>
<p>Would anyone who was accepted as a transfer be okay with posting their stats? Like their major, GPA, IGETC or CSU breadth, how many prereqs they had completed, etc…</p>
<p>I’m applying as a transfer for 2012 and I’m a little paranoid, hahaha.</p>
<p>Chandy-im a electrical engineering major. my transfer gpa is 2.4. Did all physics, math and chem support. Living on campus</p>
<p>Chandy810:</p>
<p>Major: Anthropology/Geography
GPA: 3.3
I used the IGETC, it looks more “competative” to CSU’s and gives you more options if you are also considering UC’s but CSU breadth would be acceptable also.</p>
<p>Did I read that correct Jimbo? 2.4 GPA as an EE major to Cal Poly? Nothing personal but that GPA does seem kind of low. What ec’s set you apart?</p>
<p>Haha that’s what i thought. “whaaa” i don’t have anything that stands out. It’s not fair but i got in. I dont know why=</p>
<p>Are you an Out of state student?</p>
<p>Nope. I am living on campus and mabye that is why i was admitted. I guess they need the money and to fill up the rooms.</p>
<p>Funding in Cal Poly does not work like that. Whether you live on campus or not will not affect your chance for admission. Rather, if you are out-of-state, and you are paying for the full tuition then it will affect your acceptance chance.</p>
<p>Cal Poly is either really slipping (no offense intended for you), or you are 1 of the 5 people with 2.4 GPA they accepted for engineering transfer.</p>
<p>Either way, Cal Poly needs to get their crap together in admissions, if they want to stay relevant. </p>
<p>Also, as a word of advice from an EE alumni, EE is enormously math intensive. You previously mentioned you got a D in one of your math support classes. You will surely need to raise your math competency if you want to graduate with an EE degree from Cal Poly. The school does pride itself in flunking out 67% of the starting freshmen out of engineering.</p>
<p>Haha ill keep that in mind</p>
<p>Question for you guys, are you guys transferring from another CSU, or a UC by any chance?</p>
<p>And if so what major and GPA, stats a nd credits did you guys transfer with?</p>
<p>II am starting my first year here at CSU, Chico but I hate it here and I want to get out. The academics here are a joke.</p>
<p>I applied as an engineer major last year when I was a senior in high school to SLO, but I was rejected due to my low SAT score.</p>
<p>Please inform me guys. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Where are you getting “1 of the 5 with a 2.4 gpa”?</p>
<p>I think I was one of them this year. My overall is around 2.6 for EE. But that is because I had like a 2.0gpa when I came out of high school, but then I took a break and went back to school to finish where I had about a 3.0 while working 50 hours a week and was the president of the math club and joined the engineering clubs. I definitely feed lucky in getting in, but I also feel like I can do well there. I will find out shortly.</p>
<p>It has not come out for this year yet. But you can look at Cal Poly’s common data set for the more precise number of acceptance at various GPAs for 2011 admit. </p>
<p>Here is the preliminary data: </p>
<p>College Engineering
Transfer applied: 1,401
Transfer admitted: 277<br>
Average GPA: 3.40
Acceptance rate: 19.8%</p>
<p>If you look at Cal Poly’s transfer admission average for an engineering stats, with the median of the Gaussian curve being at 3.4, you can “guess-stimate” the number of 2.4 admits.</p>
<p>We can reasonably assume 2.4 is on the near-far left tail end of the Gaussian curve. And assuming that 2-3% of the admits are at this portion of the curve, you get 5-7 admits. </p>
<p>And yes, you are lucky to get in with a 2.6 GPA for EE.</p>
