I applied for a major in Animal Science.
GPA: 4.0
SAT:1420
ACT: 24
Other applicants from my school going into the same major got accepted a while ago and I just got my denial email… and mind you these applicants are (to be honest) not as academically strong as I am.
One girl had a 3.2 GPA and 1070 on the SAT. I don’t understand.
I feel so confused. I have a stringer academic background and more experience…
I have heard of smarter applicants getting rejected … but I am just lost.
I am really worried about now not getting into other colleges.

That said, since you were denied, it is probably healthier to put it behind you and focus on the schools you haven’t heard from yet.
Getting denied from SLO is not an indication on how you will fare with the rest of your decisions. I agree with the poster above and move on. Get excited about the other schools on your list. “Love the school the loves you”.
Sorry to hear that. I was just on campus a while ago and the smell of cattle and livestock was strong today. Ag is big at CPSLO.
AG is big yes. Exactly why i wanted to go there. Then I am waiting on Chico and it is already April and they have not yet given me a response yet.
I’m sorry you got rejected. It’s possible it’s because of your ACT score. I hope Chico or another school accepts you. You’ll be awesome no matter where you go.
Thank you so much for all of your encouragement. I got into Chico for the major in Animal Science and although I was upset about being denied before at Poly… I could not be happier about Chico. I have lots of opportunities there for me that were not as available to me in San Luis Obispo. I think the reason I wanted to go to Poly so bad was that of the aesthetic of it. It is by the beach and one of my friends went there.
