Chances of getting into Cal Poly SLO Early Decision

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I go to Interlake High School, have a 3.3 GPA UW, Full International Baccalaureate, over 200 hours of community service, 4 years of baseball, and 2 years of swim team, 2 years of key club, 1680 SAT score... I'm just worried that I will waste an early decision on a school i cant get into. </p>

<p>Intended major? CSU GPA? see link to calculate and SLO uses Freshman grades. <a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;

<p>if ur applying to engineering, then i would say no way. im applying to cal poly slo as an engineering major, and its a reach for me. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1676772-chance-me-cal-poly-slo-engineering.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1676772-chance-me-cal-poly-slo-engineering.html#latest&lt;/a&gt; (there are my stats). i think if you are applying to liberal arts then u might get into. but for engineering and architecture, it would be a pretty big no, and for business i would say its a low reach. please list your major.</p>

<p>also, if youre out of state, u need to have even better stats than the average, so take that into consideration. u should apply to cal poly pomona, or maybe the lower uc’s (santa cruz/riverside)</p>

<p>Take a look at the 2014 Freshman profile for SLO, your STATS way below average.

Regardless if your in-state or OOS, it would be a reach.</p>

<p>@adityamehta‌: My youngest son applied for CS at SLO this past Fall for ED admission (in-state). His UC GPA was 3.73 ACT 31 with 10 AP classes and 2 Honors. He was rejected from ED and RD. SLO is super competitive, so unless you can raise that GPA and get an SAT of 2100+, it will be a reach. I would suggest you look at some other state schools such as SDSU (where he is going this Fall), CSULB, SJSU and Cal Poly Pomona. You will have a better chance at these schools. I would still apply to SLO but don’t get your hopes up. Good Luck to you.</p>

<p>SJSU is also very competitive for CS, though less so for the similar software engineering major.
