Hi I am going to apply for Cal Poly SLO this coming fall and am wondering what route I should take. To start, I currently have an 1150 New SAT score (without studying), about a 4.5 GPA unweighted, 4.0 weighted, lots of extracuriculars and athletics. I want to major in BioResource and Agricultural Engineering. So this is my question, the application for SLO open on October 1st and close November 30th. Should I apply right on October 1st with the SAT scores I have now or apply later in October or early November when I hopefully have a better SAT score? Because does it factor in at all when I apply to the college in their acceptnce time?
Your SAT score is below average for SLO based on last year’s Freshman profile. I would try and retake the SAT to make yourself a more competitive applicant. BRAE does have a high acceptance rate but it definitely could help your chances with a higher SAT.

It does not matter when you submit the application as long as you make the November 30th deadline.
