Oh ok. Thank you very much for explanation, I was very confused at first to make sense of it but now all clear, thanks a lot!!!
Hi!
My senior â22 son got into CS as well,
I have a question in regards to my current junior interested in data science-can you please share more about research with google? That sounds really interesting and am looking for something similar for my junior.
Thanks!!

8 honors courses
7 APs (can only take AP CSA your soph year with math dept approval and then you can take the rest of APs during your junior and senior year so harder to get a really high weighted GPA.

Accepted to: Cal Poly, CU Boulder direct admit into engineering majoring in CS with Chancellorâs merit scholarship, Texas A&M engineering
Rejected: UCLA
Waiting on UCSB
Summary: Cal Poly has been her top choice (even over the UCs) and would have gone to Boulder if she did not get into Cal Poly since it was direct admit into CS and better engineering support/advising than UCs and A&M.
So excited DD will be part of the Cal Poly family!!!

I know ECs and volunteering are not considered for admissions to Cal Poly but wanted to include to help give more insight into DDs gpa with context in how involved she was with her ECs, rigor of coursework, why her GPA isnât as high as others bc the of the competitiveness and timing of getting into honors/APs at her school. With all things considered and amount of time she had during the day to commit to schoolwork and studying I think she did a pretty good job balancing everything.

D22 accepted to Psychology on 3/10.
Not sure about Cal Poly GPA.
UC GPA: 3.8, weighted capped 4.07, uncapped 4.36
Good ECs
Anybody know what is the reason for the delay in rejecting the remaining applications? Are they waiting to see who enrolls and manage the yield till the end of the month?

Thank you and congrats to him! It is good to know some out of state students are still being accepted.
I agree this notification system is unbelievable.
Admission Decision: Waitlisted 3/29
Intended major: CS
GPA: 4.0/4.32 SLO GPA
In-state/OOS/International: OOS
Local/Non-local: non local
HS course rigor: IB Diploma Candidate; 4 years foreign language, 5 years math, 4 years lab science. FWIWâŠHS has program where students who are on honors accelerated track since elementary or middle school are able to do IB Diploma program a year early (completed by junior year) so they are able to take additional AP and IB courses to add to overall course rigor senior year. Only students accepted for SLO CS so far from this HS were students who did the accelerated IB program. Course rigor matters.
ECâs and major related job: 16 to 20 hours/week ECs (with leadership) and community service.
