Cal Poly Pomona Transfer 2016 Waitlist

I haven’t seen any thread for this so I thought it would be good to make one

I applied as a Junior for Fall 2016 semester. I was waitlisted around mid April and JUST realized I forgot to accept the waitlist offer. I just accepted it exactly at 9 PM on May 1 and cpp said, quote on quote, “you must notify us no later than May 1.” I was super lucky that I just noticed… but I’m worried this means I’m at the bottom of the list or something because I saw that some people got accepted in late april. Does anyone know if accepting it hours before the deadline will affect my chances of getting in?

It depends heavily on your major. If your major is not impacted, you can say you have a pretty good shot. If it is a impacted major, your chances are probably slim. Hopefully you have a back up college in case if this school doesn’t work out.

Do they wait list you for your alternate major too? Cause my alternate major is not impacted.

I heard that when you’re on the waitlist, they also review you for your alternate major before they make a decision but I just saw that on a thread on here so I’m not sure if its 100% accurate

Its kind of ridiculous. People with higher score got waitlisted while people with lower score got accepted. I suspect its first come first serve. dk…

I was waitlisted for Mechanical Engineering. I was wondering if anyone on the waitlist has heard anything being acceptance or denied? Thanks and goodluck!!

@lakers95 — my son is still on the waitlist as a freshman for ME. I know it is frustrating, hang in there!

@DERPYMAX Thanks, let me know how it goes!

@lakers95 I have a friend who is still on the waitlist for ME. He’s already been accepted by other uni’s but is getting annoyed by CPP’s delay.

Yeah I’m still on the waitlist too for ME does anyone have any idea when we should be notified?

@uctransfer16 yeah, i havent heard anything as of yet

Hi. Has anyone heard anything back from the wait list for engineering? I know that admissions said that they’ll be notifying people throughout June, but seeing as it’s almost July I’m starting to really worry.

I was also wondering if anyone has heard back yet. I am still waiting as of today.

I called pomona and they said they will announce the decision by today or tomorrow. If you didnt get any response call the admission office on friday morning

sweet.

@unclepenguin123 i just called this morning and it seems like the office is closed on Friday for summer, so i guess we will wait until tuesday?

so has anyone heard anything as of yet?

@lakers95
I just called this morning and they told me that we should hear back by the end of the week.

Hello. I was just wondering if anyone has heard back from the wait list. I’m considering if I should appeal or not.
