Cal Poly Regular Decision Thread 2016-2017

My son was wait listed for his first choice CS.
@Merlin2020 , that is hilarious, Cal poly Purgatory. Lol

@STEM2017 would you mind sharing your stats?

@Gumbymom is there any way one can tell where they are on the waitlist?

@mcg2021 with such amazing stats, I am wondering if you put down an alternate major? You should have got into that. Also for @SCGoalie00

@Tbmbf2013: I would call admissions and ask if they can tell you where you stand.

@ZHB1999 was that in state or OOS?

Waitlisted for CS
3.83 uw and 4.04 w
2120 SAT

@windchime1 In State

@dogrunner1 I’m pretty positive I put an alternate major- maybe political science. Do you know how to check?

@SCGoalie00 I think you can log back on to your CSUMentor account and check. If your alternate major was less competitive than your first choice major, I would have thought you would be accepted.

Waitlisted for CE (in state)
GPA: 4.12
SAT: 1200
ACT: 25

Honestly, I’m surprised that I even got waitlisted haha.

My son was just waitlisted for kinesiology.
GPA 4.5
ACT 30
SAT 1479

Supposed to be SAT 1470

Waitlisted for biology
GPA: 4.2 (capped) UC GPA- 4.4
ACT: 32 (just English and Math)
MCA: 4715 using the calculation guidelines posted here
Kinda surprised honestly, but Cal Poly wasn’t my first choice school so I’m just hoping this isn’t a prediction for how the rest of decisions will go. Congratulations to everyone accepted!

Waitlisted for Business Administration
3.55 Cal Poly GPA (sucks that none of my honors/IB classes ended up counting for extra points)
ACT: 33 (but for Cal Poly it’s 35 English, 32 Math)
Work 6 hours/week, sports and service around 20 hours/week
Cal Poly was one of my top choices, so this stings a little, but better than getting rejected

Has anyone gotten the email about the waitlist yet?

@Molly55 I haven’t

I just wanted to wish all of you waitlisted applicants the best of luck; really hope you get into SLO soon. If not, I hope you all end up somewhere else equally great!

Still at no determination…this is it huh? Rejectionville it is
