Cal Poly SLO - PSYCH - unimpressive stats :(

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I love Cal Poly. But I'm having to deal with the fact that I have a very slim shot at being accepted into Psychology.</p>

<p>My question is this: How much does work experience count? I have lots of work experience and lots of community service work, and all of my work thus far has been directly related to my major. </p>

<p>Plus, my high school is extremely competitive and one of the best in the state. And I'm a CA resident.</p>

<p>Do you think that could possibly counter my low GPA?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.23
SAT: 1850 (new scores come out soon, hoping to improve.
ACT: 27 (33 English, 27 Math, 26 Science)</p>

<p>Give it to me straight. But a little sugar coated. I'm already a little heartbroken that I didn't work harder in high school.</p>

<p>EDIT: And I have shown tremendous and steady improvement throughout my 4 years. If that counts for anything.</p>

<p>I'm curious too...since our stats are similar.</p>

<p>I'm sure the work experience & steady improvement count.
Maybe retake that SAT...you seem really enthusiastic about going there. So make sure you show that in you app essay</p>
