***cal poly slo early decision thread 2015-2016***

@tle123 I do not think anyone has received their acceptances yet.

Is anyone applying for business?

I am:/ feeling not very confident lol

I called on Friday to ask if they could still take my ACT score that came out that day, and they said they were making decisions this week! Not sure if that means they are releasing them this week or next.

@eca1998 yeah I saw your post, don’t be unconfident! Even if your scores are a little bit below average there needs to be people below the average in order to actually set that average! And I’m sure if you have ample extracurriculars and work hours you’ll be fine :slight_smile: especially since we’re all applying early, that probably looks great too.

I know that decisions come out soon, but chance me please? I need some hope that I could possibly get in

I might just call them this week and ask if I got in HAHA

@tle123 I feel like they’d start coming out in the middle of this week…super nervousss

@sportsgirl820 - Did admissions say that they would consider your new ACT scores, or is it too late since they are so close to decision time?

@Mumstheword2 They said that since they had not made decisions yet, they would.

@swimkarenna i did too lol but im not very hopeful

@swimkarenna i guess if theres one thing to be hopeful about is that it seems not many people who did ED applied for business, the majority looks like they applied for engineering.

@Northwood16 ahh don’t be unhopeful! So many unhopeful business students!
I’ve definitely noticed that there are very very few business applicants, even at my school I’m the only one (that I know of).

My son applied ED for Construction Management, anyone else? We are anxious to find out if he got in!

I’m beginning to grow so anxious as Dec. 15 approaches! I really want to get in for ED so I don’t have to worry anymore.

Did anyone apply for the college of science and mathematics?

Also I heard cal poly only looks at math and English act. So does that they completely disregard your composite score and the average of your math and English is your new “composite” score?

@tle123, you heard correctly - Cal Poly only considers the ACT Math and English scores, but rather than average the 2 to come up with an abbreviated composite score, they use a conversion on each subject to come up with an equivalent SAT Math and SAT Critical Reading score (see the “Confused about MCA score” thread which is pinned at the top of this forum for a conversion chart.)

Applied Early Decision under Bio Resource and Agricultural Engineering
Very nervous to get the results back.

Cal Poly GPA: 3.68
SAT: 630 Math 600 Critical Reading (1230)
15+ hours EC per week.

Chances?? Even though I’ll find out soon…

Such BS that slo only considers ACT math and english…I just don’t get it

@malanana, you can call, but they won’t tell you anything. They’d get swamped if they did.

As for not submitting your SAT, you should have and should if you get deferred. They super super score, meaning they take the best subscore ACROSS BOTH PLATFORMS. The SAT math is better than the ACT math.

Good luck.
