Cal Poly Regular Decision Thread 2016-2017

@magiebaste looks like we are in the same boat. Sounds great to me. And @santafriedrice yes, it says ‘you have been accepted to your alternate major’ and the new major shows in the application status grid.

thanks!

@Bigguy17 Was your friend oos or is?

Have yet to hear back from Cal Poly, getting quite discouraged.
In State
Major: Ag Business
Cal Poly Gpa: 3.9
SAT (new version): 1310

@ihatemylife1 My friend who was accepted into journalism is in-state. I have three other friends with really high stats who haven’t heard back. I keep checking this thread to see if more acceptances are rolling out because I’d like to have them at CP with me.

@dogrunner1 @magiebaste yay!! congrats you guys! I’m so happy for ourselves

@Bigguy17 what were your friends journalism stats?? Still waiting to hear :confused:

Remember, the term “high stats” isn’t relevant for Cal Poly admissions unless it’s translated into MCA. There may be “high stat” students (with their GPA and test scores) who did not hit the maximum MCA bonus points, compared to other applicants in their majors.

My older daughter (a Cal Poly student) argues to this day that there were students at her high school who had better “stats” than hers who did not get in…I can’t even convince her that the MCA algorithm is applied across the board.

Best wishes to all.

@mtd1111 did you check your portal today? Myself and @noahlazer both were accepted into our alternate major today (Env Earth and Soil Sciences).

Still waiting on a response. Majors were Computer and Electrical Engineering and I’m in-state

Still waiting. Any word on another wave??? Applied Electrical Engineering In-state

Still waiting here too. I applied for biomedical engineering

@VickiSoCal I’m sorry I didn’t clarify, the GPA’s I put on my response have no connection to my Cal Poly GPA. So yes my Cal Poly GPA is a 4.2.
