<p>I’m going to apply to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this year, but I was hoping someone could tell me what my chances are of getting in with a major in Kinesiology.</p>

<p>High School weighted GPA: 3.95
*SAT CR: 620
*SAT Math:610
*SAT Writing: 650</p>

<p>*AP Exam Scores: Psychology-5
*Taking 3 other AP’s this year along with a Junior College dual enrollment course.</p>

<p>I’m going to apply for the early decision. Does anyone know if that effects my odds of getting accepted?I’m also curious about the stats of people who were accepted/denied for the upcoming school year.</p>

<p>Apply early! It might help you… I know people that turned down UC Berkeley for Cal Poly’s Kinesiology Dept. Its really good, hands on, and gives you a ton of experience.</p>

<p>Its going to be extremely difficult to get into Cal Poly premier majors this year, so good luck.</p>

<p>Hey there, Im a senior kinesiology major at Cal Poly right now. Its really tough to get in right now, cal poly only lets people in the fall, and I know that in the kinesiology department they only accepted 50 new freshman for this 2009 academic year, all this is because of the california budget, we have received 2 tuition increases in 5 months, and cal poly is in debt so they have to limit how many people they accept. I know that there are about 30,000 applications a year, and the acceptance rate is about 25-30% making cal poly highly selective. You seem to have a good transcript goin for you, it’s better than mine was when I was applying and I got in, so I think your chances are better than most that apply. Plus, our kinesiology department is awesome, great classes and hands on experiences.</p>

<p>Okay thanks for the input. =) Yeah I’ve heard good things about the Kinesiology Department at Cal Poly but I know it’s competitve getting in. Does anyone know anything about Food Science and Nutrition at Cal poly? I’ve been looking at Nutrition as another possible major but i wasn’t sure if it has a good reputation at cal poly.</p>

<p>My daughter got denied, I appealed and she was denied again.</p>

<p>GPA 4.03 (includes freshman year)
SAT 1710 (yours is much better)
AP and honors Classes, Two College Courses.</p>

<p>She did not do early enrollement, but I hear it helps.</p>

<p>She started at Cuesta last week, she got accepted to other schools, but is holding out for Cal Poly Transfer and thinking about a change in major.</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>Thanks! Did she apply for a major in Kinesiology?=/</p>

<p>yes Kinesiology.</p>

<p>hm ok. I don’t know if it’d be better to major in nutrition or kinesiology=/ I’d love to major in either of them but I don’t know which is harder to get into</p>

<p>I know someone who is a freshman at cal poly right now got into kinesiology with a 3.96. I’m sure that your chances are very high. She got admitted through early decision.</p>

<p>^^ My daughter is a freshman in Kinesiology, as well. I can’t remember all her stats, other than she had a 30 on her ACT and 4.27 UC/Cal Poly GPA. I know she took all the necessary classes that they look for, including Algebra in 8th grade. She applied Regular Decision.</p>
