What are my chances to get into Cal Poly SLO? My weighted GPA is 3.72. My ACT Composite score is 24 and my SAT score is 1660. I am taking the SAT again October 3rd. I have all A’s and B’s, except one C…
I have taken APUSH (3 on exam), AP English Language (4 on exam), and AP Government (haven’t taken test yet).
I have had a steady job all of high school. I have done Leadership and am ASB Treasurer, as well as community service. My major is Sociology and my CSU GPA is 3.6.
Your GPA and test scores are below the average for the College of Liberal Arts:
Average GPA: 3.89 ACT: 28 SAT (Math+CR): 1277
Unless you bump your scores, SLO is probably a Low Reach. Approximate acceptance rate for Sociology is around 22%. Applying ED could help your chances.
Good Luck.
Rather than convey bad news, I will suggest you take a look at UCR, SDSU, Sonoma and Long Beach.
SLO doesn’t have ED. And why go to a tech school for a Sociology degree? Unless you are interested in EnvSci, hard sciences, engineering, or agriculture, then don’t go to SLO. Besides it’s in the middle of nowhere.

SLO seems to think they offer and ED option.
