No:(
Actually, Cal Polyās Finance concentration has a curve with students competing with each other for an A. Only the Top 25% in the class are given an A.
The following is directly from my syllabus:
Grade Conversion
Specifically, the policy is:
A: Maximum of 25%

Luckily I had the opportunity to check out Slo this week and it was my first time seeing the town/campus. It ended up not being what I expected which was disappointing, but good at the same time. Because of that I will be removing my name on the waitlist and looking at the six other schools I got into. I wish everyone sooooo much luck and fun at slo or wherever you guys end up!! Loved this group, you guys are gonna have so much fun!

just out of curiosity did you happen to major in accounting or finance? Iām trying to figure out which major has the most upside in terms of long term salary pay and increase.
Im an accounting concentration! Out of all the concentrations it has the highest job recruitment percentage! The Cal Poly Accounting Club does an amazing job of connecting students with firms and if you join, you will 100% get a job right out of college. I got an internship with just being at Cal Poly for 5 weeks. If you want to privately message me, I would love to tell you more about the club and accounting concentration! I am now on the board of the club and love talking to fellow transfers:)

Yes, someone posed the link higher up. CS was 3.3% last year with 32 transfer admits. Itās a serious competition. Thatās just as tight as Cal.
You heard any good things about quant analysis? Thatās the concentration I wanna shoot for and Iāve heard some good things so far.
here you go:)

I have not heard much, but I know its a good concentration! Cal Poly is heavily recruited, so I do not think you could go wrong with any concentration in Business:)

Yeah, thatās part of the reason why I wanna go so bad. The recruitment is top-notch and Poets and Quants RoI for business undergrads has Cal Poly pretty high. Itās quite impressive. I wanted to do QA so I could boost my app for the MIDS program at Berkeley. I wasnāt worried about jobs anyways tho. I did an internship while in CC and impressed enough to get hired full-time even without a degree.
I was more interested in how the classes are and how the concentration feels. Iām taking CS and Calc 2 rn, and Iām gonna do linear algebra in the summer, so Iām not going to have much to finish for the concentration. Was thinking of picking up a stats minor.

I was thinking about a STATS minor, but I do not have enough time! The one STATS class I took at Cal Poly was 252 and it was amazing! All the teachers are super sweet! I wish I had more info about the QA concentration!
