Had one son admitted today in biology. His twin brother remains hopeful, although it sounds like odds are fading. We’re OOS.

Sorry for not understanding, but dies “recruited athlete” mean she is basically guaranteed admission?
I’m just trying to figure out if my daughter should hold out any hope or not. It would seem that if she hasn’t heard yet, it’s probably a no.

Check your SPAM or Junk folder. My daughter’s email is gmail and the Cal Poly email went to her SPAM.
They can not say they guarantee admission but I assume so. She has a 4.2 Capped/4.6 fully weighted so she certainly meets their admission standards. I just mentioned it here so people still hold out hope that more admits are coming! She did not apply to any other college so I hope so! Good luck!

Daughter Admitted 3/10/23 - found acceptance in portal around 3:45pm PT
SLO GPA: 4.21 /Unweighted GPA 3.95
Number of A-G classes: 25 years
Number of UC approved Honors/AP/IB or DE courses: 8
EC hours and with leadership or job related: Yes
Major: Public Health

Email from Cal Poly came through around 6:45pm, but it went to her SPAM in gmail so she didn’t see it until she found it @9pm.
Very excited for my daughter and congrats to those who were accepted, but also sad for those who did not get the news they were hoping for today. Two years ago my son did not get in for aerospace engineering and I remember how crushing it felt and how tortuous it was not to get the official denial for another two weeks. We kept holding out a sliver of hope, and then hoped for waitlist, but it would have been better to just get the bad news over with on the same day and be able to move on. Anyway, my son eventually moved on and was able to fall in love with a school that loved him back. He’s having a great experience.

Accepted for Architecture! OOS. 3.98 unweighted. She has 6 APs. Maxed on extracurricular hours. Leadership. No extracurriculars in her field of study. But she has 3 years of high school classes in architecture, dual credit. I don’t know whether they take that into consideration.
She got her email at 8:00pm. She did not know about checking her portal before then.
Best wishes to all of you who have not heard!!

Congratulations!!! I haven’t heard back yet - applied for architecture in-state.
Not sure if this was directed at me, but Cal Poly has always been one of my son’s top choices. He was pretty excited to get several of his acceptances, but the smaller class sizes and learn by doing approach trump the rankings for him. He attended EPIC at SLO and loved it.

Daughter accepted as an English major. We are beside ourselves, parents both being Poly alum. Her gpa was only 3.24 unweighted and 3.43 weighted. Honestly, didn’t expect an acceptance.
Best wishes to everyone… this is too stressful.

Same for my son!
Correct! For example, most UCs has a freshman class of about 6000 students, but admitted is around from 12800 (UCLA) to more than 35000(UC Davis). Schools that are more popular will not need to admit as many students to fill its Freshman class.

D23 accepted! Biology, OOS
4.0UW
4.6 UC WGPA (10th-11th, fully weighted using rogerhub)
4.32 CSU GPA (from her application form)
16 years APs
28 years a-g classes
Editor-in-Chief, founded two large clubs, varsity, part-time job, city volunteer award, no hooks.
Considering we’re OOS, there were 4.1K applicants for Biology prior year and with such a small cut (~500), we’re definitely happy she got in! We even contemplated whether she should apply for a less competitive life sciences program (i.e. Microbiology) and I’m super glad she didn’t because Micro is just too much memorizations LOL. She’s legacy SLO and absolutely LOVED the campus vibe, small class sizes taught by professors focused on teaching, and most importantly, perfect year-round weather. Morrow bay, Pismo, downtown SLO, weekly farmers market…what’s not to like!

Once your student has been offered admission and you post their acceptance stats here, you should request to join the Mustang Parents Facebook group. It’s a fantastic resource! Good luck everybody! (Cal Poly SLO Mustang Parents | Facebook)
