Cal Poly SLO admissions

<p>I have a question regarding their “desired semesters”. I meet the “required semesters” but not the “desired semesters” (I have the desired semesters in some subjects, but not all) that they state for admissions. </p>

<p>Would I be better off changing my schedule to classes that will allow me to achieve the desired semesters, or staying in the classes I have that are a bit more rigorous? Does taking more difficult classes take precedence over having the desired credits when they are making admissions decisions?</p>

<p>Depends. What are you taking and what haven’t you taken enough of that they’d like for you to have? I know you get a lot of extra points if you have more math classes, and some extra points of like science and English and stuff. I think someone once posted exactly how many extra points you get, but I don’t remember what post that was in. I just remember that taking extra math gets you a lot of points come admission time.</p>

<p>It’s performing arts that I won’t have enough of.</p>

<p>hmm, I think as long as you meet the required semesters you should be ok. If you have less than what’s required though, you might want to add a performing arts class so that you have enough. If you’re really concerned, you can always give admissions a call or email to see how this might effect your admission status.</p>
