<p>I’m just wondering how much credit i really get for being
Cuban,
First Generation College,
and in need (Fafsa “EFC” of 0.)</p>
<p>here are some stats:
In state
I applied with a CSU gpa of somewhere between 3.48 and 3.6
I applied to Business Admin
and an SAT of 1200/1600 (math and CR)
i have lots of various EC.
a decent amount of major related hours work per week
150 hours of community service,
graduating with 350 units
and that’s it?</p>
<p>i would just like to get a “chance”, and some honest feedback on how I am going to do, i have not heard anything yet, still says “no determination” </p>
<p>and i would like to know how important those first 3 things are in the selection process</p>
<p>let me know if there is anything more info i can supply</p>
<p>THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!</p>
<p>Cal Poly’s a california state school so it doesn’t practice affirmative action plus admissions is mostly a numbers game at CSUs… you’re not going to get much help from those three.</p>
<p>I think you probably have a 35% chance of getting accepted. Your GPA is kinda low, and there was record high number of applicants this year . I don’t think you get priority for being a minority. CSUs can’t discriminate by race. I’m also waiting for Business Administration with a 3.95 GPA and 28 ACT. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Alright! thanks i really appreciate all the honesty! so i’m still going to hold on and keep checking but now i have a better idea, at first I was pretty in the dark,</p>
<p>and also out of UCSB, UCSC and Sonoma State, which would be best? in terms of highest percent chance of acceptance, (probably sonoma) but i mean just in general, like what are my chances for those schools and out of them which would you suggest to look into more?</p>
<p>Where did you find that figure that said “record high number of applicants?”</p>
<p>45,000 that is an amazing number of applicants. If taken proportionally to campus size and enrollment, I think that Cal Poly now ranks as one of the most popular schools anywhere in the US. Incredible…</p>
<p>It’s not hard to believe that so many students are interested in Cal Poly - with it’s top academic reputation (especially for engineering), beautiful campus and surrounding area, and very reasonable cost (especially for out-of-state students!) It is the only out-of-state school that we considered for our daughters - and it is looking like we’ll have 2 Mustangs soon!</p>
<p>@slolearner i think 45,000 applications includes transfers. </p>
<p>36,929 freshman plus 7486 transfers</p>
<p>44,415 total, that’s ALOT</p>
<p>its 44k. The 36k is freshmen only. There is another lot for transfer.</p>
<p>I stand corrected. 44K is really impressive.</p>
