@Nicoleg17 someone was waitlisted yesterday for Kinesiology. Post #1353. So my best guess is that even though we have not seen any acceptances for Kinesiology, that this thread only represents a portion of people applying and is not a good gauge.
S was Wait-listed
Major: CS (first choice)
OOS
UC gpa (capped): not sure but estm at 4.1-ish
SAT: 1460, ACT 32
Good luck to those wait-listed, congrats to those accepted.
Accepted ~week ago Computer engineering
UC GPA: ?? didnt calculate U/W GPA 4.0
act:35
@Nicoleg17 there’s also this separate thread regarding Kinesiology that may be of interest if you haven’t seen it:
@CAtransplant Considering I can’t even see a spot for alternate major, I guess I didn’t put one. Although, I find that odd since I feel like I would’ve. Also, I’m in state.
I believe admissions calculates GPA themselves based on the courses and grades you self list on the application.
DS just got the waitlist email. Check your email if you are waiting for the survey.
@SCGoalie00 Did you get to a page that says at the top “2017-2018 CSU UNDERGRADUATE APPLICATION
SUBMITTED INFORMATION PRINTOUT”? I got to it by going to Apply, then Undergrad, then 2017-2018, then click on View Appliction Confirmation next to Cal Poly SLO, and then a few lines down on the page that appears you’ll see “If you wish to print out a copy of the information you submitted in this application for your records only, click here.” and if you click on it, you’ll get to the page that has in capital letters what I wrote above. Then near the top of the page, it says for my daughter:
ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
Term applying for: Fall 2017
Intended major: Psychology (BS)
Emphasis/Concentration: Cognitive Science
Alternate major: Sociology (BA)
So that’s where I see the alternate major.
@STEM2017 Any chance you could share stats?
@CAtransplant Thanks! Apparently I listed political science as my alternate major.
@SCGoalie00 I would have thought you would have got your alternate major!!! Is Poli Sci very competitive also? Or maybe it filled up fast? I bet they have to fill it with the first choice people first and then if there is space then the alternate majors get in.
@dogrunner1 Yeah, the whole thing kind of confused me but thats life!
@SCGoalie00 I hope you have lots of other amazing options!!
@dogrunner1 Thanks!!
So at this point, with still no determination, it isnt looking good huh?
