I got in for Biological Sciences! (thatās the offical name for the Biology major)
wait so if the major came out already and u havent gotten urs does that mean ur either waitlisted or rej?
No. We do not have reason to believe that all acceptances - not even all acceptances for particular majors - have been released.
Do you gouts know if once Iām invited to the calpoly scholars program Iām supposed to do anything? Because I havenāt recieved the email but it is on my portal.
Never mind I recieved the email

has anyone seen an acceptance for political science?
I was told a little higher in the thread that there were a few in the stats thread. Iām in-state, non-local, and havenāt heard anything back for political science.
If you search this thread and the stats thread, then there have been 4 (four) separate acceptances to the political science major. One on this thread and three on the stats thread.
Has anyone seen an acceptance/decision for Anthropology/Geography?
Nada.

@gumbymom, I ventured onto the parent FB page recommended. Very informative just lurking and reading. There were a number of posts related to students not being able to get classes (i.e. parents sayihng that their kids were wait listed for every class and had already taken all of their GEās, kids who only got two classes and have no viable alternates and now may need to drop down to PT students unwillingly, a parent who said her student was a 6th year because of difficulty in getting required classes, etc.) The very helpful moderator provided a post basically saying āitās like this every quarter, hereās the process for your student to maximize class chancesā which talked about multiple rounds of waitlists, crashing courses, etc. and that viable class schedules typically materialize though it may not all be ironed out until after a quarter starts. I have a soph at another college and of course there is always some manuevering in getting a classā¦sheās had to sign up for a section of a class at a nondesirable timeslot, and has been waitlisted for one class every semester but has always gotten in by the end of the first day of classā¦but nothing like what these parents have described as being a difficult process. And she says sheāll have no problem, far fewer wait lists, etc. for upper class major classes. So, could you please share any feedback as to how big of an issue it is to get necessary classes, really? Are these anecdotes of parents just the exceptions, or is there a serious constraint issue that affects alot of students ability to get necessary classes ? I was just looking at college data on the % of students at SLO who graduate in 4 years and it was only 50.8%, with almost 80% graduating in 5 years, but I am not sure if that low 4 year rate is due to including programs that may be designed to take 5 years, or if it is just very difficult to get classes to graduate in 4 years. Thank you for your insight.

My wife and I are Cal Poly alumni and I have family who have graduated in the last few years. Suffice to say it is one of our sonās top choices if he is fortunate enough get admitted. The downside of Cal Poly is that it can be difficult to get classes. This depends a lot on major. In our planning we assume that Cal Poly may require more than 4 years to graduate based on our collective experience. On the flip side, I know many friends/kids who have graduated in 4 years and had no trouble getting the classes they needed. You can look at published graduation rates. They are not bad in general but it can be difficult.

I have to ask if this is a CS/Engineering issue only or does the problem extend to the other colleges within SLO, such as CLA, CAFES, OCOB, etc.?
