Final Transcript Spring Grades
Status just changed today from Eligible for consideration to Denied, CSU Elig, Not Redirect
Dangit. Any chance this may change once I send my Spring transcripts in?</p>
<p>@jimmypro Same here, and I have the same question as you…</p>
<p>And does anyone know what’s the application date for 2015 winter at cal poly pomona? Is only apply for non impacted major? </p>
<p>@zz123123 deadline for winter 2015 will be by the end of june. don’t know about non impacted major only though.</p>
<p>@tehjoadsta Thank you for the on time reply, by the way does anyone know about UC application for winter 2015? I know some of UC schools does not open for winter quarter…just wondering…</p>
<p>@justadude91cs thank you! I don’t believe any of the responses anyone gave when they called admissions. Mine said application received until 4/29, 4/30 it changed to waitlist and 5/1 I was accepted. You will probably wait a little longer since your major is impacted. Keep your fingers crossed!! </p>
<p>Ugh, so I was denied. Status changed today from “Application Received” to “Denied, CSU Elig, Redirected”</p>
<p>Any new updates from the waitlist anyone?</p>
<p>I’m a bit skeptical…</p>
<p>I’m a CIS major and WHAT IF I get a C in Java? I know for UCI, I have to get a B under the contract and wonder if there’s any conditional terms for CPP… </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure getting a C in Java won’t mess with your admissions. </p>
<p>That being said,I did not nor anyone I knew transferring get a C the final quarter before transferring. I did drop a ceramics class,though. </p>
<p>getting a C won’t do anything as it is still passing. But once you’re in CPP, a C- in CIS is NOT passing and you must retake the course. If you get a C- or worse twice in a course, you’re kicked out of the program.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input, @CalDud & @tehjoadsta. I’m typically not a C person so hopefully this won’t be the case again <em>_</em></p>
<p>C’s just do all sorts of bad things to your GPA. I can’t stand C’s anymore, they’re like the new F to me. C is actually an F in graduate school. Hopefully (fingers crossed) my application is reviewed positively and I’ll be attending here for Mechanical Engineering graduate school.</p>
<p>I think most people have learned this that are graduating this year…keep your GPA up. It matters.</p>
<p>GPA only matters if you’ve never had a job in the field. Once you’re in the real world, GPA doesn’t mean anything. Hell, I’ve talked with a bunch of my professors about it and they’ve told me that the employees that worked best for them were ones that had ~2.0 GPA. I guess they got bored in school but really understood ■■■ they were doing when it came to applying their knowledge. They said the employees who had ~4.0 in school didn’t know as much since they were too busy trying to memorize (useless) info. </p>
<p>^I think that is what they would say to a 2.0 student, what else do you think they would say? Your life is doomed forever?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think that depends on what field you’re getting into. Most of the people I know in engineering have internships and need to maintain a certain level of GPA if they want to work there after graduation (which is above 3.0). Not the easiest thing in the world to do in engineering. Just to get the internships is a competition unless you’ve got connections. A friend of mine who is a math major here just got an internship at a top tech company just because his uncle works there. Same with me, I just got a job offer at a tech company by knowing someone so I’m set after graduation if I want the job. So, if you’ve got connections, you’ll probably be okay with a poor GPA (not saying I have one but my friend definitely does). However, like I said, it depends on what you’re shooting for. I don’t know many slackers without really good GPA’s that work at Space X. There’s someone out there who can do it all - apply their knowledge, has experience, and has the book smarts. They’re your competitor. So, if you have a particular idea of where you want to work, you’re gonna have to kick some serious butt unless they’re relaxed about that stuff. I don’t talk to teachers really for career advice as they’re academics (gave up after asking three of them who have only taught and done research), I talk to a lot of employers to get an idea of what I should be doing to differentiate myself from other vanilla applicants. I kid you not, the first engineering employer I met with said to me “I have your resume. Why don’t you have a 4.0?” I was like “wow” in my head, and spit out my best reason. He told me “You better make up for it on your resume big time. If you’re just some joe schmoe going through the motions to get a degree”, he said, “We don’t hire people like that. We hire go-getters.” Needless to say, I got some pretty insightful but brutally honest truth. So, I edited my resume and I did well with employers at the career fair. You know, what do you have that a UC Berkeley grad doesn’t? If you come up short, you probably need to do something differently. Like I said though, it depends what field. Not all professions are super competitive in terms of getting jobs. GPA matters less after you’re out of school and build experience. It can still matter when applying to such things as graduate school or to a top company.</p>
<p>I know some employers on campus at the career fair definitely screened for GPA’s in the interview process.</p>
