<p>I’m wondering how hard Cal Poly EE is to get into? Do you need at least a 4.0 weighted GPA?</p>

<p>I have some friends with 3.8 weighted GPA’s who got rejected.</p>

<p>I didn’t apply to Cal Poly (should have done so, but I’m going for bio/chem anyways, not engineering, so UC’s would be better for me), but I’d really like to know what majors and honors / scholarships I could have gotten for Cal Poly.</p>

<p>What are my chances for:</p>

<p>UC/CSU weighted GPA: 4.21
Unweighted GPA 10-11: 3.96
SAT I: 2110, reading 670, Math 670, Writing 770
SAT II: 800, 800, 740, 720
1 honors junior year, 1 honors + 1 AP (Biology: 5) junior year
Decent EC’s</p>

<p>Probably guaranteed for all Cal Poly majors? Any scholarships or honors that I might have gotten?</p>

<p><em>bump</em></p>

<p>Anyone got rejected / waitlisted for EE, since I heard that people over 4.0 weighted GPAs sometimes get rejected by SLO.</p>

<p>i got accepted for EE and my stats are worse than yours ahah. You should be fine</p>

<p>D accepted CalPoly EE OOS. Loved the school, but the economy changed the plans. I think they go on a point system there. Her weighted (CalPoly) GPA was 4.2+. Like Texas, Virginia Tech, maybe ASU they take only English and math scores for ACT. She had 33-32. Also got points for ECs or employment related to Engineering. Try taking ACT and studying only Math and English. Look over their application when it is available online. She found every school was different in how grades, test scores, etc. were calculated, and she was a stronger candidate at some schools compared to others due to this. CalPoly average GPA and test
scores seem to go up every year. (Make sure you use their system to calculate GPA as they limit AP/Honors bump)</p>

<p>Actually I’m a high school senior right now who’s ready to go to UCSD now. But I realized that I should have applied to Cal Poly and regret having not applied, and just wanted to know what majors I would have gotten into.</p>

<p>I’ve heard cases of UCSD, and even Cal, admits who got rejected by CPSLO … kind of scary for a CSU. :&lt;/p>

<p>What about:
PSYCHOLOGY
ARCHITECTURE</p>

<p>any other hard majors to get into at CPSLO?</p>

<p>I got:

  1. UC Berkeley (accepted - spring)
  2. UCLA (rejected)
  3. UC San Diego (accepted and SIR’ed)
  4. UC Irvine (accepted + honors)
  5. UC Davis (accepted + 3K scholarship)
  6. UC Santa Barbara (accepted + Regents)
  7. UC Santa Cruz (accepted)</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about the psychology program, but SLO’s architecture is extremely high. I’d even go so far as to say higher than Berkeley’s.</p>

<p>Architecture is chronically ranked in the top 5.</p>
