<p>Okay I got accepted ED and read the terms and conditions but one part confused me. “The self-reported information contained on your Application for Admission is accurate and complete, and Cal Poly can successfully verify that information via your official transcripts.” By “self-reported information” are they referring to community service, work experience, and ECs? Because at my school only grades, classes, and test scores are reported on my official transcripts. I’m kind of worried about this so any help would be great!</p>
<p>They’re referring to your grades that you entered when you applied via the CSU Mentor website. They’ll cross-reference those with your transcript. Cal Poly won’t spend time verifying ECs and work experience as these are very small parts of the admission calculation.</p>
<p>Congrats on your ED acceptance!</p>
<p>I was wondering the same kind of thing. I just got in ED under business and I keep looking back over my application to make sure everything is right because they don’t take every course that you took (just the a-g courses) and so I am hoping that I reported the gpa right on the calculator. But do you think its fine if I was off a little on the gap calculator because right above it has all the grades individually?</p>
<p>And to answer your question yes, they only need to verify your grades and test scores.</p>
<p>I accepted the admission but Im just hoping everything is fine with my application.</p>
<p>Cal Poly will recalculate your GPA so you don’t need to worry about that. </p>
<p>You’re in, congrats!</p>
<p>Well I looked at my application and it turns out I made a small mistake; for government 12 I accidentally put in progress for both fall and spring semesters when it is just a one semester class. It doesn’t seem like this would be significant enough to get my admission taken away but I would really like to know someone else’s opinion.</p>
<p>And I also forgot to put marching band in the non a-g classes. But that probably won’t change anything because I’ve gotten A’s in that class every semester. I’m actually mad that I forgot to put it in cause it could have helped (not that it matters cause I got accepted anyway)</p>
<p>there is a more significant issue in the Terms and Conditions. Regarding grades, there are two requirements in the written contract:</p>
<p>1) Attain at least a C grade in every course Senior year, and
2) Maintain the CGPA reported on the Application.</p>
<p>Those two requirements are contradictory. Which is it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Now, a lot of us who got in ED have overall weighted grade point averages of 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 etc. To maintain that would necessarily mean nobody admitted ED could have a Senior year with a Sr. Year CGPA lower than it was entering Sr. year. WHO WROTE THIS CONTRADICTORY nonsense (certainly nobody who has passed basic math or introductory logic), and better yet, who APPROVED IT?</p>
<p>UCLA and UC Berkeley are very, very clear on the grade requirements for Sr. year. UC Berkely requires an unweighted 3.0 in each of the final two semesters, individually. UCLA requires an unweighted 3.0 for the two Senior semesters combined. Yet Cal Poly requires grades much higher than that for at least 90% of freshman admittees (all those admittees with CGPA above 3.0 unweighted). Why?</p>
