How is housing priority done at SLO? Is it lottery for anyone who accepts/puts down the deposit before the May 1st deadline, or is there any sort of first come/first served priority based on acceptance/deposit date? I think SLO is our likely destination, but wondering if I should hold off just to see what shakes out from the UC admissions.

Well I think the acceptance rate for the school is 30 percent so that sounds about right.

Same. 75% Colorado and the rest Cali. We were only ones from Washington.

Is CalPoly offering an accepted students event in Washington state? I would imagine there are quite a few applicants from there too.

So that means acceptances are over?

I cant imagine they are over. They said you would receive notification by April 1. I have to believe there will be additional waves.

LOL, when we did a tour of UW, 99% of our group was from CO. D refers to it as the WA-CA-CO triangle like it’s a thing. I thought it was because we as parents have ties to those three states, but maybe it’s more that those states are very similar in some respects.

I do think it is (but still holding out a little hope for us, as my DS has not heard).

@Randi_Hirsch - For what it’s worth, ours (Denver) was mentioned in pretty un-notable font way way at the bottom of the email announcing his acceptance. It’s possible Washington isn’t having one, but it also would have been very easy to miss, especially in the excitement of bolting from email to portal to confirm status.

I believe freshmen decisions are done, unless you get accepted off a wait list.

When people start posting WL status, we will know that the Admit pool is done. Until then, we wont know for sure that 100% of the admits have gone out.

@Randi_Hirsch I just searched my email for cal poly and several more emails came up that weren’t in my inbox. Very strange, but one of them was a welcome event in Bellevue. March 27. The other was just a what’s next email.
