Hey there! I have just calculated my MCA score and it comes to about 4,460. My prospective major is biochemistry and if someone could give me an honest estimate for Cal Poly SLO that would mean a lot! Thanks again! :)>-
What is your CP GPA, ACT and/or SAT scores, EC’s including any that are major related?
Hello Gumbymom!
My unweighted Gpa is about a 3.8 and weighted is 4.08
Throughout high school about 80% of my curriculum consisted of either AP, IB, or H course specifically leaning towards math and sciences.
My ACT is a 29 (30 superscored)
I am a tutor (more towards sciences but I tutor anything)
I attended and NSCL medicine and healthcare program over the summer
I am an athlete (varsity until sophomore year when I was diagnosed with an illness)
I am an active member in our Science Honors Society
I volunteer as an assistant youth track and field coach
Female, Hispanic, In state student
Since there is little MCA by major for Cal Poly SLO. An MCA of 4700+ has been a competitive threshold for many majors so it is difficult to give you an answer other than the projected acceptance rate for Biochem is around 16% and all majors are impacted. Much will depend upon how you stack up against the other Biochem applicants.
Your test scores and GPA are on target for the School of Science and Mathematics so best of luck.
Check last year’s decision thread to see if you can find any MCA data for your major. I would also like to point out that SLO is overenrolled this year and received a record # of applications for Fall so it will be very competitive for this year’s in-coming class.
