<p>Cal Poly doesn’t really look at anything other than sat 1 scores and gpa. 3.73 weighted is more on the lower side. improve your sat cr and math to at least 1400 and u have a decent chance.</p>

<p>thanks! yeah my CR score was not what i expected and I am going to definitely retake</p>

<p>There is an EC supplement app as part of the main application. But it is relatively minor. </p>

<p>Avg engineering admit GPA 4.08, SAT 1388. So you will need a great score since your grades are below. Try ACT, you might get a better score.</p>
