Ahhhh, ok, great to know! Thank you!
I donāt know - Iāve heard from multiple students who had different stories.
They said they stayed on the Waitlist at their #1 college, but accepted admission to their #2 college & held out to be taken off the Waitlist & accepted by July 15th.
The drawback was that they would lose their deposit at their #2 but itās usually only $100. Some are $250 though. I never found out what the final outcomes were.

With covid and all of the weirdness with this yearās admissions, I wouldnāt be surprised if there are a lot of changes this year with applicants. I am sure the universities are aware and planning for it!

3.9 Aerospace Major here. Nothing yet either, but to be honest, unless a miraculous 2nd wave of acceptances comes out, Iāve pretty much made up my mind about accepting Cal Poly Pomonaās offer and Iām genuinely excited about it 
.
From what Iāve read, their Aerospace program is right up there with SLO. The only downside to Pomona that Iāve heard is that itās a commuter school, but as a transfer student who just turned 30 Iām really just looking to get my degree and get on with my life! Like everyoneās been sayin, weāre going to end up where weāre meant to be and the more I think about the more I believe it. I wish you all the best of luck! There are tons of amazing GPAs here, be proud of what youāve accomplished and donāt let a single school get you down. There are many amazing universities here in Cali

does anyone know if being on the waitlist means a waitlist of only transfers? or did we get combined with the freshmen now?
I am not sure if you over 25 but cal poly has the worst age discrimination going on with accepting only 3% of applicants over 25! Donāt let their lack of diversity bring you down! By comparison SDSU is 10% and is nationally recognized for diversity.

Excellent question - Send an email to rrichey@calpoly.edu
She is the head of Admissions & she has been there for a while. If anyone knows, it would be her. Her name is Roberta Richey-Hamilton.

Transfer waitlist is separate from the Freshman.

does anyone know what the other mech e stats were that got accepted bc im lowkey confused as to why i didnt get in and i feel like i cant appeal anything because there is nothing wrong
CP Institutional Research Projections thing is out for Fall. It shows how many students they are planning on letting into each major. You can check yours and see how many got in vs how many applicants. For my major, they only let in 17 transfers out of 337 applicants, so like a 5% acceptance rate

How do you guys calculate the acceptance rate from the table?
So weird for those of us that have great stats and havenāt heard anything. Perhaps another wave of waitlists will come out? Or will this be it?
