What are my chances for Cal Poly SLO Economics Major:
MCA score: 4140
AP Biology-3
AP English Language and Composition-3
Senior year I am taking AP world history
CSU GPA: 3.67
SAT: 1390 superscored
6-10 hours of extracurriculars w leadership
16-20 hours of work related to major
I listed some achievements such as winning a statewide science fair but apparently they do not affect your decision unless you are a transfer (I am not)
*Out of State (NYC)
Also does Cal Poly take into account the rigor and ranking of your high school?
THANK YOU!!!
SLO considers HS course rigor in that they give extra Honors points in their GPA calculation for AP/IB or DE courses taken in 10-11th grade plus SLO uses 9-11th grades vs. other CSU’s which use 10-11th grades. They also give bonus points for extra semesters of A-G courses taken above the minimum. Class rank is not considered.
Being an OOS and Full pay applicant would make you a nice addition to their student body.
Last year’s Freshman profile for the College of Business was an average CP GPA of 4.01 and SAT of 1390. Your GPA is a bit low but SAT on target.
Economics has a projected acceptance rate of around 25%. Definitely worth an application but much will depend upon how you stack up against other OOS applicants that are applying for Econ.
Best of luck.
You GPA is light, so, probably not.
good luck.
