You can appeal their decisions. Although I don’t know what you would argue for your position since they don’t tell us “why” we were accepted, rejected or waitlisted.
On your Supplemental, how many hours did you put for job & volunteering? Did you select “yes” for 25% of your job is related to your major?
WAITLISTED-
Business Finance
3.94 GPA
AS-T/AD-T: Yes
Pre-reqs: All Completed
Golden 4: Yes (A,A,A,A)
IGETC: Completed
Non Local- Modesto Junior College
Transferring with 75units
Was very surprised and upset that I was waitlisted since I had everything a good applicant would need to get accepted with a high GPA and completed all necessary coursework as well as extra business classes that weren’t part of the requirements.
The only thing I could think of that wasn’t on my side is I answered “no” on the question that asked “is at least 25% of your job is related to your major?”
Not going to get too down on myself since I still am waiting for my target schools SDSU, UCSD, and UCLA.
Also, can you appeal a waitlist?
no you can only appeal a denial. I was waitlisted last year and they ended up denying me that last day on July 15th so I don’t recommend it.
Have any denials been sent out? Or are they sending any more acceptances? I attempted to email admissions but received no response.
Where did you end up going since you were denied by Cal Poly?
no decision on my portal yet 
Anyone know about Cal Grant Financial Aid? @Gumbymom ? Only the Federal Loans are showing in my CPSLO account but I was awarded Cal Grant A last year but that was put on Reserve while at Community College. If & when will the Cal Grant A show up in my Cal Poly Slo account? I already accepted the offer.
@realitea @heyigotnoclue does your CPSLO Financial Aid package show your Cal Grant? ty
Accepted - Computer Science
GPA 3.94
Prerequisites: completed
@licol we’re you just accepted? or were you accepted yesterday
I got the email yesterday at 7:40am

CompSci
4.0 GPA - Local Transfer from Cuesta // Golden 4 all A’s
Local, domiciled, first generation.
25+ hours spent outside of school doing curriculum related EC’s
Really makes me wonder how they expect anyone who grew up here who can’t leave the area for whatever reason to attain higher education.
edit: added time of email
Cal Poly Accepted Monday night. I clicked on “accept” today. But I don’t see anything in financial aid. And I know I have some Cal Grant in reserve.
Could it still be posting?
Wow, I am sorry to hear that. Your stats are incredibly strong. Did you have all the required classes and GE’s done? That’s the only thing I could think of that would lead to a rejection of a local with a 4.0.
If I were you I would look into appealing the decision. Cal Poly is the only university around here, and they need to serve the local community. In your appeal you can talk about your deep roots in the area and how you don’t want to or can’t leave.
Good luck.
I hope so. When I log in CASC my 2020/21 Award is still pending. I don’t know how to add Cal Poly SLO as my school in CASC, I listed it as my #1 in FAFSA.
I was waitlisted for Civil Engineering. Does anyone have any statistics on waitlists for transfer students this really is my number 1 school.
I was waitlisted March 17 (5:20) for electrical engineering.
On the Supplemental, did you select “Yes” or “No” for 25% of your work related to your Cal Poly major?
Has anyone who applied as a bio major heard back yet?
