<p>I've applied early decision
GPA- 3.97 Weighted (on their scale)
3.81 unweighted
ACT -29 (32 on math, 30 on science so more related to my major of biochem)
SAT- 1980</p>
<p>I can also swim for their D1 team (coach has said I can have a spot if I get in)</p>
<p>Ooh I forgot to mention I decided biochem major-
I will have also taken the following AP courses- Chem, Calculus, Bio, Env Science
And have several honors classes
4 years varsity swimming + 5A state championship</p>
<p>I think your chances are good, particularly so if you’re in-state. Are you in-state? Very pricey if you’re not, and it seems that you’re not since you refer to Cal Poly SLO as Cal “Polytech” SLO.</p>
<p>I’m out of state but price isn’t an issue. Also state residency is “not considered” according to their webiste</p>
<p>You look strong for Cal Poly!</p>
<p>Thanks! It’s so hard waiting in uncertainty for that decision =(</p>
<p>lol dude its a csu, ur sure inwith your scores. People applying have like 1250’s on sat and 2.4 gpa’s.</p>
<p>Yes, doctor123 dude LOL, “people have like 1250’s on sat and 2.4 gpa’s” do apply to Cal Poly. People with even worse scores apply there. </p>
<p>But unfortunately, they won’t get in. Cal Poly’s 2010 admitted freshman averages are GPA 3.9 and ACT 29.</p>
<p>@OP
You look good to go for Cal Poly.</p>
<p>Thanks. I’ve heard that’s largely why they have such a low acceptance rate compared to other CSU’s. Tons of people apply just because its a CSU and there in state</p>
<p>Your observation is quite true.</p>
<p>Also, there is a sense of ingrained sheer ignorance amongst a minority of high school students that because Cal Poly is a CSU, it should be easy to get in. </p>
<p>Unfortunately for them, for 2010, Cal Poly’s admission criteria are practically identical to UCD, UCI and UCSB. </p>
<p>For Cal Poly’s engineering, its requirements are even higher than that of the mid-tier UCs for certain majors.</p>
<p>That’s exactly true, and is why I posted a chance for it here. So do you think I have a shot ickglue?</p>
<p>I think you have a very solid shot for Biochem. </p>
<p>Foundational sciences majors in Cal Poly are generally easier (by easier I mean slightly) to get into than engineering or other impacted departments such as architecture, and business.</p>
<p>For Science majors in Cal Poly 2010 admitted freshman, </p>
<p>Avg. GPA 3.97
ACT 29
SAT 1301 out of 1600</p>
<p>Yeah. Based on academics alone it looks good. But does it helps that the head coach for one of their sports has offered me a spot on their team? He asked when I was applying and everything</p>
