My chances of getting into Cal Poly SLO?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello, I've applied to Cal Poly early decision and have been worrying over this past week (I applied right when applications opened...) about my chances of being accepted. </p>

<p>UC/CSU Weighted GPA: 3.53
SAT score: 1110 (M: 520 & CR: 590)/ 1720
Honors/AP courses taken: H/Algebra 2, H/College Math, H/English 2, H/World Studies, H/Human Anatomy and Physiology, AP Language and Composition (exam score: 3)
Senior year courses: AP Chinese, Marine Biology, AP Calculus AB, H/AP Economics, AP American Political Systems (next semester), Expository Reading and Writing
Community Service Hours: 153.75 and accumulating
Extracurriculars (even though they don't ask for specifics): Ocean Science Club, Awana Clubs Leader in Training, piano, choir(s), Vacation Bible School Junior Leader, cross country, track, Medical Explorers Program, Pre-Med Club
Anticipated Major: Biochemistry</p>

<p>Poor points:
-GPA and SAT score below school's average by .4 and 100 points respectively
-failed H/College Math sophomore year with D's, only got B and C when retook class.
-no Honors Bio, AP Chem, AP Bio, or Physics
-lower grades in most second semesters
-class rank barely top 25%</p>

<p>What is your major? Major will affect your chances.
If its Engineering, I’m sorry to say you dont stand much of a chance.</p>

<p>also…what is college math??? After Algreba 2 you are supposed to take Pre-Calc and then Calc if you are that advanced.</p>

<p>Overall: Its great that you have applied ED, but I recommend you apply elsewhere as well (chances arent that good, for reasons you stated)…Cal Poly Pomona is a good school so I would recommend applying there.</p>

<p>In my post I stated that Biochemistry is my anticipated major…</p>

<p>My school’s official name for Pre-Calculus is College Math.</p>

<p>I’m currently taking Calculus…also mentioned that in my post.</p>

<p>I have applied to three other schools as well, but Cal Poly is the only school that I would actually want to go to. </p>

<p>Although I am in no position to be picky, Cal Poly Pomona doesn’t quite measure up to the “real” Cal Poly, so I didn’t apply there…</p>

<p>Thanks for the response.</p>
