Yes there have been several Bioengineering admits.

If we haven’t heard anything yet, does it imply rejection?

711

High probability of Waitlist or Denial based on their historical decision pattern.

Not to sound bitter (which I guess I am :sob:) but of all the colleges I’ve applied to, SLO seems to have the most inexplicable decisions rolling out process. Like no other college seems to do it this way? Acceptances, then waitlists, then rejections. Over weeks!

Many of the Cal states have a drawn out rolling admission process.

SDSU admitted some applicants early in January but the majority of decisions including Waitlist/Denials have not posted.

Cal Poly Pomona has been trickling out their decisions since Late February and many applicants still have not heard.

Is there any financial information in the acceptance? Where do you look?
Thank you

Definitely noticing a pattern here with yesterday’s acceptances – both for SLO & UC Davis – of reported unweighted GPAs of 3.9 or 4.0, but very few lower. Whew! Tough.

My kiddo is among those who didn’t hear back. Considering all the metrics: CAASP, ELC, 9-12 grades, lots of A-G, weighted GPA above 4.0, etc. etc, I know SLO is never assured, but it also seemed a real possibility. Guessing their unweighted GPA of 3.8+ was a deciding factor?

I think what SDSU, Pomona, Cal Poly Humboldt etc are doing is what I would expect colleges with rolling admissions process go about their business. But SLO is not rolling admissions as far as I know ? Also, based on historical pattern, this has been consistent behavior : acceptances, waitlist, denials. So, they’ve already made their decisions. Wonder why they are prolonging it then.

My neighbors daughter graduated last year from SLO with Construction Management major. She had incredible internships all through her time a Cal Poly (even during the pandemic) and had a job lined up before graduating. She currently works in SF and doing FANTASTIC.
