Official Cal Poly Early Decision

<p>Just curious, missboo, what is your class rank? A friend of mine with similar GPA is #2 so I assume youre up there somewhere?</p>

<p>I’m first unweighted. My schedule got screwed up last year, so I ended up taking 2 semesters less of weighted courses than I had planned to take, so in comparison to my closely-ranked peers I have less. I believe I’m fifth weighted.</p>

<p>WOW! You guys have some GREAT stats.</p>

<p>I’m surprised I’m the only business major so far…</p>

<p>some of my friends are applying to the business program, i don’t know if they did ED though…</p>

<p>also, just looking at one of your previous posts…</p>

<p>i think it may affect the majors individually.</p>

<p>and i don’t think the CSU’s will really raise their fees too tremendously much, not anywhere close to the UC’s projected 30%. besides, hopefully our economy won’t be in such a sinkhole by next year.</p>

<p>How hard do you think it is to get into Bio compared to say… engineering or architecture</p>

<p>i applied regular admission…?? :slight_smile:
architecture
uc gpa: 3.5
sat M+R: 1490
yes to leadership
11-20 hours per week. cross country, track, senior class treasurer</p>

<p>Im applying economics
cal poly GPA: 3.52
SAT: 1370/1600
good ecs work experience related to major</p>

<p>Calinate, we’re very similar. Both applying to business school. Except your gpa is a tad higher, and my sat is at tad higher. i say we both have a really good chance.</p>

<p>so, once, (if we do) get accepted. the only requirement for our senior year to get admission is to pass every class you signed up for with a C or better right?? just to make sure. not that im gonna slack or anything. :D</p>

<p>Pretty much, yeah. Getting accepted would be about the best motivation to not slack off the rest of the year. =)</p>

<p>On a side note: 16,000 applied to SLO in October.</p>

<p>nice gpa and work experience sam. u hav a good shot!</p>

<p>wow, koreanboi, that’s rather concerning… hopefully most of those are regular decision.</p>

<p>Yeah, at my school, almost everyone I know who applied to SLO did early decision as well.=/</p>

<p>I’m talking about maybe 20 people.</p>

<p>yikes. i havnt talked to that many people at my school yet. but so far im the only one appling ED. most people at my school who i’ve talked to are applying to slo as like a 4th choice under some UCs, or as their safety if there really smart.</p>

<p>im worried now!!</p>

<p>But yet again, because SLO accepts based on majors and most of the people I’ve talked to were in engineering, I’m not too worried yet since I only know like 1 other bio major.haha.</p>

<p>haha cool cool nice.</p>

<p>anyone know anything about the dorms?? </p>

<p>all i know is the info here:
[University</a> Housing - Cal Poly](<a href=“http://www.housing.calpoly.edu/oc_futr_frsh_where_live.cfm#]University”>http://www.housing.calpoly.edu/oc_futr_frsh_where_live.cfm#)</p>

<p>i heard sierra madre was supposed to be the best dorm… from the pic, it looks like the ugliest…</p>

<p>anyone know what the best dorms are supposed to be in order?? or do specific people go to specific dorms?? are the living learning any good? the apartments look nice, but are those reccomended for freshmen?? i have no clue about housing / dorms.</p>

<p>and i heard getting your top choice of dorm is hard, so apply ASAP, us EDers have a slight advantage there. but, what are the best dorms and can anyone give me a decription of each one?? haha thanks</p>

<p>Check this out: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cal-poly-san-luis-obispo/700650-cal-poly-class-2013-top-dorms-choices.html?highlight=Housing[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cal-poly-san-luis-obispo/700650-cal-poly-class-2013-top-dorms-choices.html?highlight=Housing&lt;/a&gt; or simply search the forum for ‘Housing’. There are many good threads on the topic. FWIW, Sierra Madre gets the most “best dorm” votes however, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. Depends on what you want. Visit them and get your preferences and deposit submitted asap.</p>

<p>kk, thanks i think i will deposit? Will I need to know right away, say when i, (if i) get accepted ED? or do they start the housing applications later??</p>
