@haleyf1105: Based on SLO target projections, Sociology expects 685 applicants for 55 spots. If you assume a 33% yield, then the projected acceptance rate is around 24%.
Here are some stats of admitted students:
Sociology
CSU gpa 3.83
1290 SAT
In State
No clue about MCA
Accepted 3/3
Is Cal Poly known for meeting the financial aid need of low income students? Do they primarily award aid through grants and scholarships or is a significant portion of it through loans?
@hsco2019: SLO like all CSUâs do not guarantee to meet need but if you are a California resident and you meet income eligibility limits, then between Federal aid and Cal grants, you could have your tuition and some housing costs covered.
What is your family income? How many in the household? Any other siblings in college?
Have you filled out the Net Price calculator to get an estimate of your aid? The issue with the Cal states is financial aid assumes you will be a local commuter.
@Gumbymom thanks for the information on the Marine Science. It will help me prepare my girlie for disappointment. She got accepted at Monterey Bay but of course, CP SLO was her first choice.
Hopefully we will all hear back today or over the weekend at least! Donât give up hope yet⊠fingers crossed. This chat is the only thing getting me throughâŠLol Thanks for all the info guys
