Interesting Transfer 2012 Situation

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

<p>I’m planning on transferring to Cal Poly for fall 2012. By the end of this year I’ll have all my required pre-reqs done, I’ll have completed my IGETC, and I’ll have about 66 units completed. However, I’m still in an interesting situation.</p>

<p>I took seven AP classes in high school, and passed all seven tests which earned me a total of 30 units of transferable credit at Cal Poly. It also fulfilled a bunch of my IGETC requirements; basically, if I finished my IGETC, I could be in and out of community college within one year and that’s what I’m doing right now.</p>

<p>However, because this is only my first semester in community college, I don’t have any grades with which to apply. So, no GPA to put down. I have A’s in all my classes so far and we’re three months in, but what am I supposed to tell Cal Poly? Do I put projected grades for the fall term? do I just put “in progress” and “planned” for every course I list, and then if I don’t meet the requirements later they rescind me?</p>

<p>Obviously I’m in the same situation with every school, so any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>PS. Applying as a sociology major.</p>

<p>Call admissions</p>

<p>I emailed admissions and they eventually got back to me this morning. Obviously, I will not have any GPA to apply with, which isn’t a problem for UCs because they allow you to update transcripts in January. But the email from Cal Poly stated that I won’t be competitive at all in the admissions process because I will not have a GPA until two weeks after applications are due.</p>

<p>BUT…say I were to submit my application at the end of november. If I were 99% confident of the final grades I am going to receive, would I be able to just put these projected grades down as final grades? I know I run the risk of being rescinded if my projected grades are not correct, but if what I project and what I enter are the same, is there a problem?</p>

<p>Please don’t rip me apart for thinking about that, if it is indeed bad. I’d just like some opinions/ideas :)</p>
