Cal Poly SLO Transfer Thread for Fall 2023

Rejected as well. Bummer cause I made it in 2 years ago for freshman year.

Son is rejected. Computer Science. GPA 4.0. Pre-reqs: Completed by Spring 2023.

Cal Polys decisions are so random. It seems like a lot of qualified 4.0 students got rejected and I, with about a 3.3-3.4ish gpa (I haven’t checked in a bit haha) got waitlisted. Obviously I didn’t get in but I didn’t get rejected either. I feel like it just depends on who goes through your application idk.

4.0 and not admitted is alarming to me… my son has the same GPA, he told me a few minute ago he hasn’t seen anything on the portal yet. From the list of rejections today, I’m asking him to be mentally prepared :frowning:

I was rejected with a 3.94 and 119 units at 21, I wouldn’t live with much regret. It’s always luck at the end of the day.

Son waitlisted for CS. Straight-A 4.0 student… this is tougher than we thought.

I was just wondering if anyone else has nothing happening with their with transcripts? Not new to sending transcripts and I’ve never had issues in the past but they still say ā€˜initiated’ even for the ones sent in January (from two different schools).

I would anticipate a rejection unfortunately. The waitlist is not used all that often, particularly for transfers. I hear of 1-2 waitlist acceptances per year. CS is one of, if not THE most impacted major at the University. I know the news really sucks to hear. Wishing the best for your son in his academic ventures, and I hope I’m wrong about the waitlist. Cheers.

I know, nowadays there are all kinds of non-academic criteria for California’s college admission. We found that out 2 years ago. Fortunately, he had been admitted to Santa Cruz and Riverside so far, still waiting to hear from other UC. One thing I heard is that if an immediate family member had college degree (especially post-graduate), it would be one thing Admissions use to EXCLUDE the applicant! If this is true, it is very unfair to the kids who work so hard.

For those accepted —

If you know you’re committing to Cal Poly, then you don’t need to go to Open House on April 13 thru April 16.

It’s really for those on the fence between colleges.
You’ll learn things about Cal Poly, but you won’t miss out on anything… if that makes sense.
