Cal Poly Regular Decision Thread 2016-2017

It is weird about kinesiology. I wonder if the delay is because this is such a popular major for athletic recruits? Maybe they’re trying to nail down how many of the athletes they’re recruiting are going to sign and take up spots in the major, before they release the space to regular applicants? This is total speculation based on exactly zero inside knowledge, so feel free to shoot down the theory - just a thought. :slight_smile:

interesting theory @aquapt

I believe the biology program at SLO is listed as impacted and next to engineering, this major would be one of the most competitive to apply for. I looked up the student profile for 2016 students and i’m not 100% sure, but these could be average stats

COLLEGE: Science and Math
APPLIED: 10,335
SELECTED: 3,001
GPA: 4.09
ACT: 30
SAT1: 1352

Best of luck to all…hopefully more admits will occur!

Every single major at Cal Poly is impacted.

Hi there…I just found this page so sorry for posting late. My daughter was Accepted on 2/16: Major: Liberal Studies, UW 3.4 SAT, 1180 In State (We didn’t calculate MCA). Her sister also attends Cal Poly (not sure if they look at that at all, but another girl at her HS with an older sister at Cal Poly also got in, but for for Nutrition Science, no one else at their HS has heard so far) My daughter never planned to get in with her stats, so now she is re-weighing her options. Good luck to everyone. I know the wait is crazy. We didn’t have this with my first daughter as she applied 2 years ago ED to BIO…

@eyemgh do u think there will be more waves of acceptances of majors that already came out?

My son got accepted to his alternate major (his first choice was Political Science) yesterday.
Unweighted:3.7(11-12), around 3.6(9-11)
Weighed:3.9
ACT:28
One AP
Highly rated public school in CA, but we are low income family(if it has anything to do with the decision)
No volunteer,one sport(9-11)
Job experience(20 hours per week)

He is still happy that he got in with just one AP class in 11th grade.

I forgot to add that my son was accepted to his alternate major Anthropology.

Doesn’t look like any acceptance notifications for today, not a good sign for those still waiting.

Still haven’t heard back from biochemistry. This is not good.

According to last year, on the 24th of February, they sent out some acceptances, but mostly waitlist notifications. March 1 was when lots of rejections were sent (last year’s thread).

Just checked my portal, waitlisted for construction management. Not surprised because my cal poly GPA is 3.53, thanks to freshman year

My son was just waitlisted for Environmental Management and Protection. His MCA was approx. 4000.

Put on the waitlist for CE and EE backup. How do I calculate Cal Poly GPA?

Hi everyone, writing here to hopefully gain some insight or help…
I applied to Cal Poly as a Biological Sciences major and still haven’t heard anything back yet. Around 10 people I know from my school all got in with lower grades and lower test scores, all for different majors such as Business, Communications, or Architecture. I know Cal Poly acceptances vary greatly based on majors due to competitiveness, so does anyone know if the fact I haven’t gotten accepted yet means that they are simply still sending out more acceptances or that I will be declined later? My other friend who applied for Bio (who has extremely better grades than I do) also hasn’t heard back, and nor has my friend who applied for Computer Science. (again, almost perfect grades and scores) Any help is appreciated… driving myself crazy over here, lol.

Here’s my stats
Cal poly GPA: 3.98
SAT: 1380

seems to me people are starting to get waitlisted… are acceptances done??

Confused… so are acceptances done???

@collegegirl5824 probably, as the same acceptances and waitlists are around the same time as last year. so now everyone that was waitlisted please fill out the survey saying you don’t want to be considered :wink:

Just checked my portal and I got waitlisted for Business Ag.

Waitlisted for Ag Business gpa 3.7 SAT 1280. Do you think I could get in or should I just give up?
