<p>Hey all, first post here.</p>

<p>Tried my best to search and post in the right section of the forums( but excuse me if I’m wrong)</p>

<p>Anyways. So quick run down. Just finished my first semester of community college at Pasadena City College. I basically wanted your guys’ opinions on Cal Poly Slo for Aerospace Engineering because that is my major and that is the major I intend to put down when I transfer eventually. </p>

<p>Also, lastly, any tips on what I can do to increase my chances of acceptance into SLO for aerospace engineering would be greatly appreciated, because I know it is a great school and is very selective. Currently my first choice because it’s in state, cheap, and a decent school.</p>

<p>I have a son at Cal Poly and have done a lot of research on admissions. For transfer students it is very difficult, what you need to do is keep a high GPA 3.5 or above and as important as many of your major’s courses as possible in the two years. Here is information that should help. [Aerospace</a> Engineering Transfer Criteria - Admissions - Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo](<a href=“Cal Poly Admissions”>Cal Poly Admissions)</p>
