<p>Hey y'all, I am Lmcleod1 and I am new to this site. I know there are other threads out there about Calpoly admissions, but I figured why not start one for 2014 admissions. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I have a chance at calpoly slo. All of my junior and senior classes are university classes at Eastern Washington University though the Running Start program, so I actually go to the college instead of high school. I have had 4 B's in my high school career and 3 of them where in college classes here at EWU and one was in an engineering class. Please feel free to leave advice, or any information on calpoly and good to y'all on your admissions!</p>

<p>My instinct is that for an out-of-state person, your test scores are too low for Cal Poly SLO. Your college courses may help you though, so of course you should apply and see what happens…but have a good backup plan as well. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>Hopefully not! But I understand, for calpoly, Washington and Oregon are kind of instate as far as tuition goes, so hopefully they will consider that! Thank you for your response!</p>

<p>How is it that Cal Poly treats Washington and Oregon residents as in-state for tuition? SLO is not part of the WUE program, and even if they were, that program has nothing to do with admissions decisions. Where are you getting this information?</p>

<p>It was on their website when I applied. I just have to take my chances, hopefully they will consider me. Anyway thank you!</p>
