@emmithegoat Gosh, I hope not. S21 has 4.21 SLO GPA, 11APs, 4 honors, tons of leadership and over 200 hours of in-depth service and in-state so I assume he’s competitive.
Friend who got invited to UCLA regents (top 1% of UCLA applicants) hasn’t heard back from SLO so I assume that there are more acceptances coming. Unless they yield protect.

Any idea if oos admits for aero engineering is over? Due to the high achievement numbers necessary to get into that major and looks like they sent out to high achievers yesterday would this mean less impacted majors are left?
South OC here, D was accepted yesterday.

DS was admitted to Civil Engineering- 4.1 GPA, lots of relevant work experience. Good luck!
Congrats! Thanks for the good wishes.
Didn’t understand this either - wasn’t really clear and doesn’t make sense. Why would they be asking about Jr. High?

Still waiting… 4.0 U/W, 4.6 W business administration
a couple of my friends with 4.3 and 4.2 capped haven’t heard back yet I got in with a 3.8? they both applied during the application extension period could this be why?
They are specifically looking for accelerated/honors language or math classes that would have counted toward high school credit…its unusual
SLO awards extra MCA points for HS courses taken in middle school, such as Algebra, Geometry and/or foreign language.
But, for example, if you took French 1 in middle school, didn’t like it, and then took Spanish 1 your freshman year of HS, then SLO doesn’t count that French course in middle school, since there was no progression to the next higher course (French 2) in HS.
Same logic for math. If you took Algebra 1 in 8th grade and then repeated Algebra 1 freshman year of HS, then no extra MCA points are awarded by SLO for the middle school Algebra class. This is a SLO only issue.
Those extra points help with admittance to SLO.

My daughter was admitted yesterday as an English major with an UW GPA of 3.7.
All applications are considered at once. The due date extension is not a factor.
Are their actual admissions officers looking over applications or do they just put everyones application into a calculator or something.
Do you have any indication that Cal Poly considers the high school profile. At some schools, getting a 4. or greater every semester is much harder than at others.
