Cal poly slo fall 2017 transfer thread

Still no determination… bus admin

@Tssteiner were all of your major prep/required classes done? Including public speech etc.

@justinmega1 All major prereqs done with only 2 Bs, golden 4s with all A’s, and 5 major preps done (1 IP atm) with all A’s.

Atleast it’s not a rejection though!

Anyone know anyone that heard back for Biomedical engineering? don’t think anyone has posted on here and I don’t know if that’s because it’s possible that BME decisions haven’t been released yet for transfers or if there just happens to be no posts from anyone. Losing hope slowly, my GPA is a 3.91 and I have all requirements except for speech which is in progress. Honestly still kind of confused by the major prep courses, I was under the impression we’d be sending our transcripts and they would have a full list of all the classes we’ve taken, but since that’s not the case, it worries me I didn’t fill it out the app correctly. Too late to do anything now… just have to keep waiting…

@Tssteiner dang sorry man. I have basically the exact same stats, so I’m going to join you soon enough. So you have taken 7 major prep classes? 4 math, 1 chem, and 3 physics classes is a total of 8.

@justinmega1 By major prep, I meant classes in the supplemental 1,2,3 sections.

@bianca123456 I’m also taking speech now and didn’t hear anyone post about my major either. I’m rooting for you though!!

@Tssteiner Oh I see. And can you verify that you’ve finished all the required classes on this website? Remove the space: https://admissions. calpoly.edu/applicants/transfer/criteria.html

@justinmega1 Yes I’ve finished all of them. The only one in progress on my application (which I’ve finished also with an A) was differential equations.

The 2 B’s were in calc I and II.

Don’t feel bad if you are/will be denied/wait listed. This is a highly competitive school and some majors are almost impossible to get into like mechanical engineering.

@Jaximus Fellow Bus Admin wishing to concentrate in accounting and “still no determination has been made at this time” for me as well. This is killing me. At least I have my local SJSU acceptance. Just waiting until Mar/Apr for UCI bus Admin, UCD Econ, and UCB Econ.

@schneybley it’s just the hearing nothing that sucks, I have virtually no hope for an acceptance at this point but I’d like SOMETHING, even a waitlist or rejection.

Psych major from Bay Area, just logged in and it still says no determination ugh

another question, if anyone knows, if I’m a transfer from out of state and not a community college in the area, and put my courses as they are listed from my school and not “Cal Poly equivalent” (for example Physics 212, BMEN 211), will that ruin my chances? The application wasn’t very straightforward for someone out of state when California schools operate a lot differently. Don’t know why they just can’t take my transcript and clear it all up. Stress levels high

@Tssteiner dang. I regret applying to ME since its so competitive. I could’ve applied to EE and just switched over.

@Jaximus same. I wish they would just say something. They reserve the right to wait until April 1st honestly. My sister didn’t get denied until March 25th last year. It’s even more torturous when we know people are hearing back

@Tpw417 Are you sure they didn’t say they were nowhere near done sending out admissions decisions? Because they used those words when I spoke to them on Tuesday. Saying there are still admissions decisions going out isn’t the same as “there are still acceptances going out.” In fact, I wouldn’t expect them to actually say that, as admissions at universities usually like to be more elusive about those kinds of things.

I’m sure some acceptances might still trickle in through the end of March, but I think it’s rare at this point. Most of us probably didn’t make it.

Bus admin (accounting), just checked again and still nothing. Hopefully this weekend we hear something. Since people are already getting waitlisted, idk if that’s a good thing or bad thing for those of us who haven’t gotten anything yet. Still keeping hope alive, but this is like pulling teeth at this point.

@mysticalforest @jonathaanv My concentration was for accounting too, that makes three of us.

does anyone know the acceptance rate for waitlisted students? i can’t find much info
