Cal Poly SLO Transfer Thread for Fall 2020

Congrats! Nice to know they are still handing out acceptances, gives me a little hope now.

email or by portal?

Would it be too early to start looking for roommates? Specifically, for those interested in living on campus.

Continuing students have already completed their housing applications so I thought some of us could get together! I can start a separate thread if that would be best.

That would be a great idea!

Is there anyone who is interested in off campus housing?

I think what you meant to say was… “Congratulations”
Hahaaaa

Girl, you are thirsty for some roommates!

Definitely, my kinda roommate cuz you’ll take the smallest room, pay the most in rent, put down the entire Deposit for everyone, and still be happy. Hahaaaa

@BillDin AYEEEEE WHAT A LEGEND CONGRATS!

YEAH, Baby!
Excellent job!

I created a transfer Facebook page but the post is under moderation since it included a link. Just look up “Cal Poly SLO Transfers 2020” on there!

I did

@thadiplomat22 SLO days isn’t until August, so I do not think it is going to be a problem.

I’m just trying to secure a living arrangement at this point :slight_smile:

Both!! portal first, then email 30 mins later

Accepted on Mar 17, 7:20am by email!

Major: Computer Science
GPA: 4.00
Golden 4: As
Pre-reqs: All done
Local: No, Mount San Antonio College
25+ hours of work a week/major related (tutoring math/comp sci)
Applied: Caly Poly SLO (Accepted), CPP (Accepted), SJSU (Accepted), CSUF (Accepted)

I’m honestly so happy and relieved, this is my THIRD time applying for transfer. Non-traditional student, dropped out of UCR in 2011, and this is my second attempt at my Bachelors! I got rejected to SLO last year and saw that their target transfer rate is around ~1%. I applied but didn’t expect to get in. Had already accepted the admission to CPP but I saw an email from Cal Poly saying I was accepted in my spam mail haha. Withdrew my application from CPP and went ahead and accepted the decision for SLO :smile:

Worried about having to take out loans since I am low income, but they gave me a good chunk of financial aid and there’s options for sub and unsub loan as well. Really excited to be going to SLO and feel super blessed they upped the target transfer numbers for this year!

So happy for you and I am glad to hear you persevered!

@Hip2DaGame That may be it . I got accepted as an aerospace engineering major a weekish ago with only a 3.71 GPA; however, I was able to complete every prerequisite, including additional courses, within two years. I am on track to completing my BS in 4 years, so maybe they do want people who will come in and out. In addition, I have a lot of hours from work experience/volunteering/extracurriculars.

Orientation fees were like a punch to the gut with parents included

Finding a place off campus is definitely next priority.

Anyone know how to read their Financial Aid award?

Also, how much does Cal Poly cost with all their fees, tuition, blah, blah, blah so I can compare it to determine how much I have to put in?

Look under the finanacial aid section of their website. It will show you all of the information required.
