Cal Poly SLO Statistics

What are the admission statistics (# of applicants, # accepted) for Cal Poly SLO for the Class of 2019 for each category:
Cal Poly SLO itself, the School of Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering Program?

Well the admissions aren’t actually done for this year so it’s impossible to have 2015 data.

2015 Planning Estimates:

Based on 2015 planning estimates, the following is for a yield rate of 37% of admitted students:

College of Engineering: 19.79% admit rate- 1,185 spots for 16,177 applicants
Biomedical Engineering: 11.26% admit rate - 80 spots for 1,920 applicants

@r77r77 actually for bioengineering, that would be a 4.17% admit rate :slight_smile:

Just out of curiosity, how did you get the numbers for the college of engineering and for biomed?

@biofio They admit more people than spots to account for the fact that the majority of students won’t end up attending due to attending other schools, cost, location etc. The percentage that ends up attending is called the “yield %” Hope that makes sense!

@ltorres15 See the two links in my original post! The 2015 planning estimates are particularly useful! :smile:

Looks like an internal Cal Poly document, so does the admissions office have a leak?

They post that on their institutional research page every year.

They post that on their institutional research page every year.

University posted that 1,283 Early Decision Freshman have accepted enrollment for 2015—this is about 28% of the total 4,594 they are seeking to admit which goes to explaining why so many RD applicants with great stats were waitlisted or denied this year. My son is very happy he did ED.

GPA of enrolled freshmen so far is 4.0 and SAT (M+CR) is 1333.

@Dadfan‌ and @classof2015HS where did they post that information?

95 out of 1478 applicants selected for College of Business - Transfer 2015

That’s 95 spots filled. You can assume that they offered acceptance to roughly 250-300 to net those 95.

@ltorres15 the 2015 admission information was published in the Daily Mustang last week.
