Ugh, that’s such a bummer. Of course the school we’re all hoping to go to is not interested in accepting more incoming students.
So I applied into environmental protection and management with an u weighted gpa of 3.89 and math + reading sat score of 1110, what are my chances? I also held leadership positions and more than 25% of my work was focused toward the selected major.
@roma1998 calculate your MCA score, then post your score here. That’ll give people a good way to chance you 
@zdutta123 why the fuck did you apply early decision if you were planning to go to another college…early decision is binding and unless you have a legit financial excuse you kinda have to go. I have heard it can affect your other college choice. Sorry bud lol
@roma1998 here is a link to calculating it: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cal-poly-san-luis-obispo/1694769-confused-about-mca-score-p1.html
are we seriously going to have to wait till the 15th to get our decisions??? I don’t think i’ll be able to wait that long…
Don’t the decisions usually come out earlier???
@NJDevilsFan2012 Yeah they can come out anytime this week. I heard last year they came out on the 10th and the year before on the 5th. I think I read somewhere on here that someone heard they might be telling us tomorrow?
@zdutta123 your other applications are expected to be withdrawn. if not, your acceptance to the other school will be rescinded
@sfgiants061306 i hope so! i’m going crazy checking my portal every 20 minutes…
Does anyone know if Cal Poly accepts a certain number of people per major when they select who they admit for early decision or if it’s just one solid number, ignoring the # going into each major?
Also @NJDevilsFan2012, we’ll probably get them sooner than the 15th, that’s how it’s gone the past couple of years.
@Jamin648 Not sure but I’d assume they wouldn’t fill up each major with ED applicants by more than like a third of its capacity.
@NJDevilsFan2012 me too! I hope it works out for you! What major did you apply into?
whwn I visited cal poly slo they said that they might be pickier this year than in previous years and that ED will not be any easier than RD

@eyemgh
@NJDevilsFan2012 nutrition! I have a friend who’s at Cal Poly right now for business admin and absolutely loves it
@NJDevilsFan2012 I applied Business and I’m FREAKING OUT! Are you feeling confident?
I’ll FIFY.
Reduce OOS and foreign admits by half each year until the total is well below 5%. We paid a fortune in taxes, why should we give up slots to OOS?
Freeze Admin salaries and reduce non-academic positions. Particlarly deans and provosts, To pay for that.
Get out of D1 athletics and stop admitting jocks who wouldn’t get in otherwise. Eliminate all but need based scholarships. CP doesn’t need to pay students to attend.
Reduce liberal arts and social science departments, and add Stem and business slots
Do this for all CSU and UC. Let Stanford and USC alumni pay for all the frills that are not affordable anymore.
FIFY
@swimkarenna Im freaking out as well! I feel very unconfident about my chances of getting in. Seems like my MCA score is way lower than what everyone else applying for business has…
