Cal Poly Pomona Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

@collegeishard95 Sorry to hear that. I agree it seems very strange they would reject you after they promoted you to a provisional admit. Something must have changed since your application. I would definitely investigate if further. Did you apply to any other colleges or do you have a backup plan?

@Bob8246 Congratulations on your acceptance to CPP! Was it a provisional acceptance? Are they awaiting your transcripts for spring? If so, I’m not sure I would drop the class yet (though I know the drop date for a W is very near). I would keep trying to confirm it would okay to take it in the summer. It seems like messing with the in-progress plan submitted during the application phase can cause an immediate rejection.

@socaldogmom @TooOld4College
Thanks a lot for the sentiment. So I managed to get through to the admissions earlier today! I was told that I am supposed to meet in person with a counselor to discuss my issue but I somehow managed to discuss it with a counselor over the phone after speaking to a representative. And apparently, my official transcript did not show that I am taking my speech class this semester. Possibly because my speech class is an 8 week course and instruction is not going to begin until 04/24. So the counselor advised me to send in an appeal and show proof that I will be taking my oral communication class this semester, and then I think I’ll be a provisional admit again, hopefully!

@collegeishard95 Well that’s promising news. Hopefully they’ll respond and get you back to admit status much quicker than the original admissions process. It sounds like you have a great chance. Best of luck! Let us know how it turns out. I have a feeling I may need to go through the same appeals process since CPP said I won’t complete my ADT before Fall. I may have to argue that since I will enroll in my last ADT course this summer.

@collegeishard95
Now I’m more worried haha. I am also taking fast-track Spring class that just started, so I hope they see that.

@collegeishard95 I’m still in “ready for decision” status

@collegeishard95 @socaldogmom I thought they were sending out approvals/rejections after the 15th of April?

@Neeman123
Yeah, that is what the director of the dietetics department told me. Mine is still at “pending admissions decision” and it’s been like that since the first week of February.
Do you think they make decisions on the weekend too? Because the 15th is a Saturday. Or do you guys think we will know on Monday or sometime next week? I think she said their deadline is May1st, though I’m not 100% sure.

@TooOld4College
Thank you and certainly will! Hmm yeah maybe… I think if they don’t ask for about it anytime before 05/01 you’ll be fine. Best of luck though!

@socaldogmom
Ahh you don’t have to worry, they should catch it if that class actually doesn’t appear on your official transcript. And if they do, you should do what I’m doing as well and you’ll be fine

Yes it was a provisional acceptance and the last W drop date for my community college is April 21 so I will probably wait a little longer and meet with a counselor next week for an appropriate action

Thanks I appreciate the help/information!

@Neeman123
When I called the admissions office yesterday, they said that all decisions will be made by the end of April

Got in around 12/18/16.

Major: Business Administration-Human Resource & Mgmt
Current College: Pasadena City College
IGETC: CSU GE to be completed by end of Spring 2017. 6 AP tests used for credit.
Major Prep: To be completed by end of Spring 2017. Qualifying for an ADT as well (AS-T Business).
GPA: 3.8 at application, likely around 3.7 by transfer.
ECs: Volunteer org, job as secretary.
In-State, Out-of-State: In-state.

I applied straight out of high school (grad: 2015) with a 3.7 GPA and was accepted as an Environmental Biology major. Went to a community college instead, switched major to business.

I am literally just waiting on financial aid to be processed before I confirm enrollment. Can anyone tell me if they’ve got their financial aid on their account already? :confused:

Congratulations @amiene on your acceptance! I’m a business major as well (Tech and Op Mgmt). Can’t help you with financial aid, sorry. But what made you switch from enviro bio to biz?

my status changed from “ready for decision” to " pending student response" does anyone know what this means

@permanentglue: You have been waitlisted so you need to accept the waitlist or not.

I’ve been waitlisted

Major: Nutrition (Dietetics)

I just checked and my status changed from “ready for decision” to “pending student response” and I just accepted to be placed on the waitlist. I am staying positive!!! BTW, my major is animal health science.

Waitlisted for Computer Science, on the bright side, theres hope!
