Industrial Engineering.

Thanks very much, @ucgraddad!

I would say most likely they are over. Maybe a couple random acceptances may still come out. I think at this point all we can reasonably hope for is waitlist.

There is one in Bellevue, March 27th. It was down at the bottom of the email I believe.

Thanks. How is Cal Poly typically with regard to the waitlist? Do they tend to admit from the waitlists or is it just a soft rejection?

There are no guarantees that it would be similar this year, but here’s the data from the most recent CDS they posted:

My friend calls the admission today and their staff insists the admit for freshman and transfer are not over, though unable to provide a timeline

I have not heard one person being placed on WL status yet…have you?

Look back at past year threads and they say that every year. I’m not saying there are not some here and there but I doubt another large wave of acceptances.

They’re probably trying to avoid having to listen to people argue about why they or their child should have been admitted

I’ve been checking this forum frequently. I did hear of one person being waitlisted for Cal poly San Luis Obispo but this is through a friend who heard it from her daughter about a good friend. A little too much distance to take this as absolute truth but in my heart I am bummed out because my daughter is still waiting for a decision and this has been her number one school for years. As a former Cal poly alumni I am still holding out hope until there is a definitive answer.

Can you share stats please?

Yes, I know at least five kids from the city of Los Angeles (as opposed to “LA area”) who were admitted. Several from LAUSD.

Still waiting to hear from SLO. Son got into SDSU and UC Davis for engineering.

My impression is the admit is quite abnormal this year. Late, OOS and in state are released on the same day. If no another wave this week, most likely the waitlist is the next wave for next week.

Maybe waitlist wave comes this Thursday…
