I think you’re gonna have a good chance of getting in since you’re local! I’m so jealous haha

Hey y’all,
does anyone know how Cal Poly calculates your GPA when transferring? Do they look at the GPA you earned in your major specific/prereq classes, or just an overall? Thanks

@owls10: Your GPA is calculated based on all CSU transferable courses.

Found out that I will actually have a 3.93 after this semester haha! Whoops

Major: Biomedical Engineering
GPA: 3.66
IGETC: finished

Do you guys know if we are supposed to send in our transcripts to SLO now/son or do we only do that if we get accepted?

soon*

Hi guys! Late to the party, but just wanted to add my stats in. Good luck to everyone! I’m hoping to transfer into Nursing, but Cal Poly is my backup. I don’t have a required class, but I figured I could try anyways! 70% sure I’ll be rejected, but the stats are so random!!

I am surprised that not a lot of people are commenting on here. I have read past threads and they were so active

@buster2974 Maybe that’s a good sign that there were not a lot of people applied lol

I hope that’s the case?

@vastfish251 Have you heard anything yet?

Applied: Cal Poly, USC, Baylor, Texas A&M, Northeastern, Univ. Utah, Univ. Washington, Cornell, Univ. Minnesota.

Curious… I don’t see anyone applying to privates or out of state on this thread and the year before. What’s stopping y’all from applying? Many privates are generous with grants and many out of state schools give transfer scholarships. Take my #1 choice USC for example, it’s cheaper to attend USC than a UC if your low income.

For me, I’m planning to go to a competitive and cheap Cal State school for Undergrad, then going to a target school for my MBA (Business Finance Major). Would like to save some money for Grad School instead of paying for an expensive undergrad.

does anyone know around what time we’ll hear back from SLO?

I think it is going to be Monday for the first wave of acceptances. I have looked at past years’ threads and that is the pattern.
