<p>Hey Guys!! </p>
<p>So Cal Poly SLO’s ED application has started and the deadline is Oct. 31st!! </p>
<p>So this is the ED thread for 2013-2014.
I know there were others like this for 2009, 2012 etc… </p>
<p>so
If you applied for ED: </p>
<p>Post:</p>
<p>Intended Major:
SAT: (M + CR out of 1600)
GPA:</p>
<p>And if you could, add a bit about your course rigor.
:)</p>
<p>Intended Major: Industrial Engineering
ACT: 35 composite (35 english, 34 maths)
Weighted GPA: 4.0</p>
<p>What are my chances??</p>
<p>wow! They are both high scores, I think you have a very good chance of getting in!</p>
<p>woah haha…
Well
Intended Major: Computer Science
SAT: 1090/1600 (590 math, 500 reading)
GPA: 3.705
I think it’s a stretch but the thing that could possibly boost my chances is my sport. They’re a D1 school and I want to dive with them. I have higher scores in dive than a lot of their divers and I’m sending the head dive coach a letter about me.
Do you think that would boost my chances at all?
What are my chances??
Also I’ve taken 4 AP classes, 3 of them relating directly to my major.</p>
<p>4.17 g.p.a , 32 ACT. Biomedical engineering. Im so scared I wont get in!</p>
<p>@calpolyslodream</p>
<p>Dude, if you can’t get in I really wonder about those of us with a below 4.0 gpa …</p>
<p>@bshuttup</p>
<p>see the problem is that cal poly doesn’t actually see what your ECS are… they only ask you about how many hours you spent in that EC… You and I have a similar gpa my SAT is a bit higher than yours 1310/1600 and I took 5 Ap classes and yea 3 do relate to my major too 
</p>
<p>we are both applying for the same major as well!! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of, which is why I emailed the head coach a little bio about me and why I want to go there/be a part of the team. Not sure if the head swim/dive coach is going to have any influence at all on the overall application though, what do you think?</p>
<p>gpa: 3.6 weighted
sat: 2190 superscore (1420 math + cr)
act: 33
major: computer science
would appreciate chances thx</p>
<p>My daughter is debating about applying SLO ED (since there is some question about whether it’s her first choice and because of the locked in major, that may decide for her). However, I would love to hear from people applying ED their rationale for doing so? I have heard both points of view; that it is better to apply early and be in a smaller pool and it is better to wait until the regular process. Any thoughts, other than it’s just that Cal Poly SLO is your dream school?</p>
<p>@ GoldenWest
My biggest reason for applying to CAL SLO ED is because I KNOW 100% sure what it is that I want to major in. I have ABSOLUTELY no thoughts of changing my major anytime and also I don’t mind being legally binded to CAL SLO.
That’s another thing to consider, if it isn’t your dream school or you aren’t sure 100% about your major don’t apply to CAL POLY ED</p>
<p>Also it IS NOT a school for people who want a more theoretical (research oriented) approach to things.</p>
<p>So have most people finished apps? I really dislike the slo app cause it doesnt let me show my wonderful E.C that relate to my major. Also all my leadership and everything. They should really get a better sysyem… dont get me wrong I love the school. Im just so nervous I wont get in because its so unpredictable:mad:</p>
<p>Thank you kaplogy…that is along the lines of what I thought. Another question…does Cal Poly SLO send you some sort of additional questionnaire after your submit your application? I hear they ask for freshman year grades and EC’s that relate to your major (mostly, a job), so I was wondering how they get that information since it is not part of the CSU Mentor page.</p>
<p>@calpolyslodream, although they won’t look at your EC’s (which i’m sure they’re amazing), your stats are really impressive and are above the averages for the college of engineering (4.08, 31). so i wouldn’t fret if i were you!</p>
<p>@goldenwest, actually while i was filling out the csumentor.edu page for SLO, i was supposed to enter all my courses along with the grades i got each semester. i was laso asked whether i was employed anywhere and for how many hours i worked (i put none for both since i didn’t have any work experience). are you sure you’ve not skipped those parts?</p>
<p>@bshuttup</p>
<p>Well I’m actually not sure. Maybe it does… I mean there are students who go to Stanford through sports… maybe??</p>
<p>Major: Business Admin
ACT: 24
GPA: 3.4</p>
<p>Kinda feel hopeless looking at the stats, but a man can hope right? :(</p>
<p>Major: Environmental Engineering
ACT: 34
GPA: 4.02
8 AP classes, and will have 3 college courses done by the end of the year</p>
<p>thanks Tigerash; I checked with my daughter, and these items were in fact on the application form, so that answers that.</p>
<p>For those asking about athletics, ofcourse being an athlete can help you get in a school, but you need to be a committed athlete, not just using it to get in. DI college athletics are not recreational, they are serious business for the athletes and the school. In general, if you are good enough to be recruited to play, the college coaches already know about you, that goes for every sport. They know a year or years ahead of time who they are going after. On November 13 many athletes from several sports will sign their letter of intent to play for the school next fall, with verbal commitments made to many long ago. Sports at Cal Poly can be as competitive as academics and you need to be willing to spend hours everyday practicing and competing. Club teams are available for those that want to play something but don’t have the level required or want to commit the time required to be part of a DI team.</p>
<p>Hi guys! I applied ED but seeing these stats makes me realize my chances are pretty low…</p>
<p>Major: Computer Science
Cal Poly GPA: 3.33 (cumulative hs gpa is 3.6 I believe)
ACT Composite: 30
SAT: 1330/1600, 2060/2400</p>
<p>10 AP courses, 2 honors courses. 21+ hours a week of extracurriculars and volunteer work.</p>
