Good point! However, I would venture to guess that the yield rate differs for different majors and that the more specialized, top programs like those listed above have a higher yield rate. So maybe not 4-5x?

How about the first-generation status? Did he come from a title 1 school? They consider those factors too.
Has anyone heard as a Mathematics major? (In State)
Anyone heard from Art & Design? Assume decisions will be later since the portfolio was only due on March 1st and was later than usual. Also, any idea as to what percent of applicants are invited to submit portfolio? Earlier there was a post that said Art & Design last year had 878 applicants and only 53 spaces. Wondering if that 878 number includes all applicants or just those invited to submit portfolio.

In the application it states that in order to fill in the math requirement for Algebra I and Algebra II they would take middle school coursework. If we forgot to fill this part out, is our admission decision impacted by it? And also, is there anything that we can do at this point?
We are still waiting as well. My daughter is in the top 3% of her class, three varsity sports, 300 volunteer hours, NHS, took AP Psych, max APs factored by Cal Poly, and no response. I wish I could know how they fill the spots.

SLO target projections shows 878 applicants for 53 spots but since not all admitted students enroll, SLO will accept more than the 53 students and they will invite more students to submit a portfolio than they will actually admit.
Last year portfolio based majors heard on March 24 and they were also late in reviewing last year.

You have almost identical stats to my daughter who is also admit status unknown. Hardcore Stem classes not paying off here. Seems like their formula doesn’t take rigor into account as much as I thought it would.

I’m curious about this too. Per your post, I just checked my son’s app. He filled in 8th grade geometry but not 7th grade algebra. Surely they assume it was taken? Please update this if you find out. Thanks!
Cal Poly does not assume anything. They are a stickler for reporting all Math and Foreign language taken in Middle school. This has tripped up many applicants over the years.

I have a couple friends from in state cali waiting to hear for communications I have not seen any Coms acceptance on here does anyone know if those come next week for that major ?
I have seen a couple of Graphic communication admits. There is no indication that there will be another wave of admits. Have you checked Reddit since students seem to post on that website vs. CC.

Hi all, DS did not get an email saying decisions were out but heard that admissions were coming out so he logged onto his portal. There is a video saying “Congratulations”. Is this an official admit?

My son also got into most of the same schools and pretty same credentials as yours hasn’t heard either for general engineering.
