<p><a href=“Cal Poly Admissions”>Cal Poly Admissions;
<p>Here is the current Freshman Profile. GPA’s are unweighted. Cal Poly IS one of the few California State Universities that does consider extra-curricular activities/sports to some degree (they have athletic teams and need athletes). No CKI currently (my son was a Key Club President, and he and some friends were talking about re-starting one that had gone dormant, but found they just don’t have the time - he’s Aerospace Engineering).</p>
<p>I know that when we toured, the Admissions Officer said that overall GPA is important, but isn’t everything. They are looking for both “well-rounded and well-lopsided” students. So, if your math and science grades rock, but your English/Social Sciences grades are a little lower, that would not necessarily rule you out when it comes to ME admission. I would encourage you to apply - tour the campus and talk to people if you can. It really is a great school.</p>
