<p>Looks like stats for incoming freshman were indeed higher than 2007.</p>

<p>OOS enrollment is 6%. Any idea what they look for in these applicants? Are only top tier considered? Should an OOS applicant with mid-range stats even bother?</p>
<p>Cal Poly admissions is entirely based on statistics. They look at GPA (9-11 grades weighted and capped as far as number of extra points given to honors/AP courses), SAT CR and Math scores, and 4 additional questions regarding hours worked and EC hours, and whether job/ECs are related to your major. If your statistics put you in the top of the ranges for incoming freshmen, then by all means apply. Mid-range stats for OOS students without significant job/EC hours would make your chances of acceptance fairly low. </p>
<p>Cal Poly is hard even for top in-state students to get in, especially for impacted majors.</p>
<p>It's up to you. The application itself is easy to fill out online.</p>
<p>In addition to the statistics mentioned by vballmom, Cal Poly considers "rigor of secondary school record". This RIGOR SCORE is calculated using the number of college prep A-G classes beyond the minimum required, the number of AP/IB/Honors classes taken in grades 9-12 (I think), and any college courses courses taken in grades 9-12. (1 semester of a college class counts the same as 2 semesters of an Honors/AP/IB high school class.)</p>
