<p>Cal Poly’s admission rate for Fall 2014 applicants is the lowest in university history — 28 percent.</p>

<p>Of the 51,707 students who applied for Fall 2014, only 14,749 students were selected. In regards to freshmen, that number was just 13,303 out of 43,803 — a 30.4 percent acceptance rate. For transfers, 1,320 out of 7,868 were selected — a 16.8 percent acceptance rate.</p>

<p>Freshmen accepted to Cal Poly also had the highest academic profile ever seen in admitted students — a weighted grade point average of 3.97 and a combined reading and math SAT score of 1318 out of 1600. The average ACT composite score was also at 29, Associate Director of Admissions Terrance Harris said. </p>

<p>I would think that the low admittance numbers is good news for wait listed students. Does anyone else agree? </p>
