<p>Is it just me or does it seem like more students have been waitlisted this year than in years past? I know last year there was a larger waitlist because of budget cuts but it seems like there have been a lot of “I’ve been waitlisted” posts. I was just speculating that maybe Cal Poly has found it beneficial tomplace more people on the wait list to see if the student is really interested which would increase their rate of acceptance of offers. Last year there were far more people accepted off the waitlist than years past. It’s just my speculation, but any thoughts on this?</p>
<p>@universityfreak: I have no clue. I just hope that they will accept a lot of people off the waitlist like they did last year as I’ve been waitlisted myself. What I don’t get is why freshmen are expected to hear back about their status (May 15) before transfers are supposed to hear back (July 15). You would think that transfers have priority. Do you have any idea why this is?</p>
