Colleges and Universities A-Z Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Anyways, everyone check in here if you’re applying ED!</p>

<p>Post:</p>

<p>Intended Major:
SAT: (M + CR out of 1600)
GPA:</p>

<p>Because that’s basically all they look at…</p>

<p>Specify what GPA your giving, like CalState 10-11 A-G weighted etc…</p>

<p>Also, if you would like, add a little bit about your course rigor and your Extra Currics.</p>

<p>We can chance each other, give each other support, talk about how awesome Cal Poly is, get to know each other, and ask general questions about Cal Poly in here.</p>

2

<p>Well, I guess I’ll start haha</p>

<p>Intended Major: Business
SAT: (M + CR out of 1600) 1400
GPA: (Cal State / UC A-G Weighted 10-11) 3.45</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure my ownage SAT score will counter my mediocre GPA and put me in.
My course rigor is fairly challenging, but nothing that special. And I have pretty good ECs.</p>

3

<p>Also, just a general question. How much do you think the economy and CA budget crises are going to affect Cal Poly? Everything from admissions, to graduation time, to quality of the college…?</p>

4

<p>Okay so…
Major: Nutrition
SAT: I submitted ACT which was 26
CSU GPA: 3.47</p>

<p>My classes were decent, a few AP’s mostly honors though. I’m wayyy anxious to finally here back from Cal Poly though!</p>

5

<p>Goodluck pinkvgirl! You have a pretty good chance!</p>

<p>Also, another general question. How would you rate Cal Poly SLO compared to other UCs / CalStates? When I tell people I applied ED to SLO, most people say it’s a great / pretty school. But some people say, wait, your applying ED to a Cal State and give me a weird look haha…</p>

<p>How would you rate Cal Poly overall as a school. I know some majors are a lot better than others, but overall, where would you rate Cal Poly compared to the UCs?</p>

<p>I see it like: </p>

<p>Berk / LA
San Diego
SB / Davis / Irvine
San Luis Obispo
Santa Cruz
Riverside
CSUs / Merced</p>

<p>Or possibly SLO should be tied with SB / D / I.</p>

<p>Is that about accurate? Or what?</p>

6

<p>Just ignore those look. I rate cal poly the same level as mid-tier UC.</p>

<p>Here at silicon valley, Cal Poly graduates are highly regarded in the eyes of major employers.
Good luck!</p>

7

<p>Wow! Same here! People either totally get my love for Cal Poly or they are wondering why im so pumped for a state school. But to answer your question I would say…
UCLA/Berkley
San Diego
SB / Davis / Irvine/San Luis Obispo
Santa Cruz
Riverside/CSUs / Merced
pretty much the same as yours! </p>

<p>Oh and LSkaiWalk I meant to say that I think you have good chances too! Let’s just hope the ED pool isn’t too intense.</p>

SAT (R+M): 1230</p>

<p>ECs: Varsity Swim, Chamber Choir, one leadership position and 64 hours of community service
Level of classes: 6 college credit classes and the rest are mostly advanced. </p>

<p>Major: Civil Engineering
