Cal Poly Regular Decision Thread 2016-2017

I got the honors email too!!! :slight_smile:

Received the honors e-mail as well.
The e-mail links to a FAQ with this breakdown:
Students from all six of the Cal Poly colleges are enrolled in the Honors Program. The current breakdown is as follows: CAED (10%), CAFES (14%), CENG (27%), CLA (17%), CSM(19%), OCB (13%).

Does anyone know if they usually start calling people off waitlist before May 15?

Yep, received the “Talk with Cal Poly This Week” email at 4:12pm and then the “You’re invited to apply for the University Honors Program at Cal Poly” email at 5:12pm today (Sunday the 5th).

@momzof3 sorry for the very late reply.

Computer engineering, 4.2 GPA, 1250 SAT

My son got the honors email. Is there a link to the application in the email?
What are requirements? How many essay questions, recs, etc.?

We didn’t receive the email but I was looking over requirements I found last week.

“Responses to several essay prompts” is what the website reports as a requirement on number of essays.

@jjmama, yes, in the 2nd to last paragraph there is bold blue hyperlink line of text that says, “Apply for the Honors Program through this link or indicate if you are not interested.”

@jjmama There is a link to the honors application in the email. The link is individualized for each applicant. There are about 6 short response questions.

@Tannison @lkg4answers thanks!! How is it individualized for each applicant?

@jjmama the link leads to the application and is prefilled with the student info. It just asks you to answer the short answer questions.

Just confirmed my enrollment but haven’t received an email and the housing application isn’t open yet for me. Does it just take a little time or do I need to do something extra?

How long does it take items to disappear from the to-do list? I got an email asking to send in my college course transcripts (some of my high school classes count as community college classes so dual enrollment) so I sent it but it’s still on my to-do list.

@Dankiel first, thanks for the great information! read about “connections” themes for freshman dorms? What is that? D will be applying for housing in April and so far is wanting towers double or 4 in the CV. will she have to pick a theme? how do we know what the themes are?

Also, if you do get a chance, please post about changing majors. Thanks again.

@CAMOM888, changing majors from what to what?

Anyone still got no decision or is it just me lol… I feel like they forgot to accept/reject me

@toastiecheez what is your major? I am assuming you have checked your portal?

@CalPolyQ , we toured a week and a half ago and they told us the housing portal would open March 1st however, someone in the “GroupMe” chat said that they called and were told that housing is not open until April 1. Have not accepted yet so can not confirm or deny. April 1st would be good news to us who are waiting on UC’s though. Anyone else that has different info, please chime in.

Mech Eng… checked my portal everyday for the past 4 weeks haha. I’m sure all acceptances have gone out :frowning:

@toastiecheez that is strange. If I remember correctly, you are from the UK, right? Is it feasible to give them a call or at least send an email?
