CONFUSED - still waiting for other colleges? yet housing starts in a week?!?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

<p>So, right now I say I have a 50% chance of attending SLO now that I got accepted. I heard housing applications start next week. The other college I will probably get accepted to, I will hear back in March whether I get in or not. I can’t choose which college I would rather go to, they both have major draws! haha. so im 50-50 right now on which one i want to go to. Yet, I want to get into the dorm of my choice if I go to SLO… So, do I wait til I hear back from my other school, and take some time to think about it? Or should i apply february 23rd or whatever for housing to get the dorm i want. but then do i have to accept cal poly for sure and pay a deposit, when i might go to the other place instead??</p>

<p>advice?</p>

<p>Sign up for SLO housing and pay the $800 deposit. If you decide not to attend, the deposit is refundable until early August.</p>

<p>okay thanks. ill think about it, and if i decide i have a decent chance of going will deposit. its kind of unfair that cal poly does this before most people get all their acceptances! thats kind of mean! i heard you have to pay a small processing fee too if you refund your deposot. ok thanks for the info!</p>

<p>It’s like $20 or somethin for the processing fee. I think this method will tell Cal Poly which acceptees actually want to go to SLO.</p>

5

<p>ok sweet. thats like nothing. yeah, i guess its a good strategy to get kids to commit and get excited, not sure if its the right thing to do though haha.</p>

<p>Do all admission results come out before housing opens up?</p>

<p>^
No, students continue to be admitted after housing applications begin.</p>

<p>If I accept admission will cal poly tell the other schools i applied to? I want to get a good dorm, but I still want to hear from ucsb and santa clara. Ahhhh</p>

<p>^^kaicosmoz, I have the same question too. It seems that CA public universities would have access to this kind of information and it may influence the admission decision. Any, feedback??</p>

<p>The information goes into a database that all CA schools can access.</p>
