<p>My son has the following - </p>
<p>Act : composite score 33 (eng 34, math, 33,reading 32, science 33, writing 30)
Gpa (a-g): 4.12
Wt Gpa: 4.3
Unweighted GPA: 3.76 (9-11), 3.80 (10-11)
6 APs courses .. 1 (Sophomore), 2 (Junior), 3 (Senior)
10 honors courses
ECs: varsity basketball and volleyball and tons of community service hours</p>
<p>What are the acceptance rates at </p>
<p>a. Cal Poly SLO Computer Science department ?
b. Cal Poly SLO Business Major ?</p>

<p>Thanks a ton - </p>
<p>Is that GPA the a-g GPA or weighted GPA ?</p>
<p>so with a ACT of 33 and GPA of 4.12 … is it a slam dunk or is there chance he will not make it into Cal Poly ?</p>
<p>Those are weighted CSU (a-g) GPAs. I wouldn’t say anyone is a slam dunk for Cal Poly, especially for engineering. However I think your son has a very good shot given his 33 ACT and course rigor.</p>
<p>Check out the accepted student stats from last year on the Cal Poly SLO forum here on CC.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a 2nd year computer science student at cal poly. From looking at your son’s scores, he is likely to be accepted if I had to guess. Acceptance at Cal Poly is based on a composite score that is computed using ACT/SAT scores, gpa, extracurriculars, etc. Students that are above a certain score (the line is based on how many students can be accepted) are almost automatically accepted, those below the line usually aren’t. I’ve heard that having taken AP classes, specifically in english classes and the sciences is important, but this depends on what the high school offers. Computer science here is particularly competitive, around a 8-15% acceptance rate from what I’ve heard, but I think he should get in. If he does, (for comp. sci) I would advise him to go here as computer science is a highly ranked program and is well-known for having an extremely high rate of graduates who get jobs after or before graduation. The company I’m planning on interning at this summer has around a third cal poly comp sci graduates, much more than schools such as Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, etc. The same goes with big time software companies such as Google, Apple, etc; all of the computer science student graduates get nabbed up.</p>
