UCB/UCLA: Low Reach due to below average ACT
SLO: High Match

Much will depend upon your portfolio, so too subjective to determine.

URM status not applicable to California publics.

Good Luck.

@Gumbymom Thanks so much for your opinion! Also, I applied to SLO for ED but still have “no decision has been made at this time” written on my portal… Even though I was probably deferred into RD, does Cal Poly take into consideration that i applied ED?

If your portal states:
Thank you for applying to Cal Poly. We have received your application. No determination has been made at this time.

= deferred

The “early decision” part has been dropped.

Yes, SLO does take into consideration you applied ED. but the RD round is more competitive than ED, so your chances decrease but that is no reason to give up hope. Based on my son’s experience with SLO, if you get an acceptance in the RD round, it will usually be posted on your portal around Feb 14-28th. If you have not heard by then, most likely you will be rejected and these come out at the end of the long wait at the beginning of March.

Good Luck to you.
