Cal Poly Pomona Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cal Poly Pomona
141

Major: Mechanical Engineering
Current College/University: Saddleback (so cal ccc)
IGETC: Yes, both IGETC and CSU
Major Prep: Everything that my CC offers, missing (EGR 100, ECE 231, MFE 201, ME 215 218 219 232 233) I have all Math Physics AutoCAD and Chem done
GPA:3.43 on application, 3.35 now
ECs: Activites Chair on our Engineering Club, a little internship experience at a few companies
In-State, Out-of-State: In-state, I don’t think they consider me local

After being denied to SDSU and SLO ( both reaches I know) I’m praying for CPP. I’m nervous about missing so many of the major prep classes listed above. What do you guys think? How much will that have an effect on admission?

142

@mechman24 Hey I’m in the same boat. Mech Eng denied from SLO, but hopefully we get into Pomona!

143

@mechman24 Bro as long as you have calc1-3 or equivalent and golden 4 you should be good for it. You have physics done thats a plus. I also have a few extra courses done tor my major which is CS so yeah , good luck!

144

Thanks guys! This waiting really is killing me… Another question, if accepted, are you commuting, renting or living on campus?

145

@mechman24 financially its probably more feasible to live off campus for me, but I really want to live on campus at least for the first year.

146

I would have to move from the northern parts of California so yeah
:slight_smile: gonna have to rent a place out

147

I could drive, but it would be forty five minutes in average traffic :’(

148

Just looked on my to do list and it’s asking for tax info from financial aid. I haven’t been accepted but is this a good sign?! :slight_smile:

149

This wait is getting frustrating… D:

150

The wait is almost over, isn’t it?

151

@FishoMath
Acceptances are sent out until the end of April, I believe. I’ve also heard that late acceptances and waitlisted people are contacted even in May sometimes. I received an acceptance from another college over a month ago but CPP is my preferred school.

I have also read that locals and transfers are given priority. I am local (less than 15 minutes from the school), I’m a transfer, and my major is not impacted. I’m going crazy…

152

The wait has been driving me crazy.
So far rejected from SDSU and SLO
Accepted to CSULB and Have a TAG for UCD.
Crossing my fingers for cpp. May the seven guide me!

153

Still waiting for Engineering major (sign)

154

Also anxiously waiting :S

155

Did anyone here send in their transcripts? I was accepted and was asked to send them by April 1 and I sent them last Thursday and my portal still says I need to send them? Is this normal?

156

@brpere1175 I mean back in January yeah. Did you send them electronically? Make sure you keep your receipt of them being sent. It might be holding out for you spring grades.

157

@Zygole My school doesn’t do electronic transcripts. I have the receipt from the post office, but I doubt that will help. I’ll just call tomorrow…just wanted to see if anyone experienced this. Thanks!

158

When sending my transcripts (they were due 3/15) it took them forever to process them. It took just under a month (even though I rush ordered all my transcripts) for my status to change from needs documents to received on time. So maybe it is semi-normal for them to take a while.

159

Yeah they take a long time to process em
don’t worry as long as you sent em on time

160

You should be fine. They asked for mine back in January. My portal didn’t change till the second week of March.
