****official cal poly slo class of 2018 decisions****

<p>@jwale23 Wow, that’s surprising. You have amazing stats and should’ve been a shoe in.</p>

<p>Just curious: has anyone been officially denied admission yet? Nothing has changed on my portal and I’m starting to get really worried. </p>

<p>@HSotahoe22 Honestly if they have been rejected I feel like they wouldn’t post it… Admissions go out until the end of this week though so hold tight!</p>

<p>@unicorntimmy, wow those are really good scores! Now i feel like i won’t get in :frowning: i have a3.4 uw,3.6w,790math 640cr, and 10aps. Really hoping to get in</p>

<p>I wish you guys all good luck! I hope everyone knows before we reach 100 on this thread!</p>

<p>That would be nice wouldn’t it! I am too anxious! I wish there was a button where everyone could find out at once, but the amount of applicants this year would crash the server!</p>

<p>@justin7473 i have a friend who got in with a 3.4 for civil, few aps but we come from a pretty competitive school…idk how much calpoly plays that into it but idk. u should be close tbh…his sat was in the 1370-1400 area</p>

<p>And to all the bus folk, we shall wait on. i think tomorrow is our day since eng had a bunch today</p>

<p>@tschaser, when!? I go to uprep in redding, and it is one of the best schools in the nation, ranked 167th and #10-16 in California so that is good! I just want to hear back!</p>

<p>awhile back in the first wave of students. i think it was 1 1/2 weeks ago but i cant remember exactly…he had a decent amt of pts in extra cirrics and whatnot, dunno if he had the other MCAs…our schools are prettyyyy close in ranking so i would say you should be fine. as mentioned before, i think cal poly may aim for more diversity…he is definitely in the minority of the campus so maybe that helped him. i want to say your fine but i dont want to raise any hopes.</p>

<p>My portal still didn’t change… Applied ED to cal poly but didn’t get in. I really hope I get in : { </p>

<p>Have any kinesiology majors heard yet?? If so what are your stats? </p>

<p>@hailsrob23 my D was wait listed for Kinesiology, 4.1 CSU GPA, 2010 SAT, 33 ACT.</p>

<p>@dietz199, I don’t think there’s much hidden here. CP SLO numerically ranks their students using an algorithm that maxes out at roughly 5000 points. They rank within each major. The reason many with weaker stats may end up above someone with better stats is twofold. One, stats don’t show course rigor. Poly uses a simple way to figure this out, just number of classes in a given subject area. This can, behind the scenes (I.e. Not reflected in just comparing GPA and test scores), boost a candidate 10% or so. The second, and oft overlooked part is that the algorithm can be boosted by holistic adders, child of a CP SLO employee, child of parents where neither attended college, student from a specific disadvantaged school. These add ons are are potentially huge, particularly if taken in combination. Since both the Poly employee adder and the disadvantaged school adder apply only to instate students and they are ranked separate from out of state students, it can really skew things. It is objective, but has a holistic bias built in.</p>

<p>@eyemgh do you know if they are still sending out acceptances?</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t know. </p>

<p>As a parent of an OOS student, I can’t conceive of what the instate parents are going through. Unlike the OOS rollout, your process looks from the outside to be pretty random and protracted. Hang in there!</p>

<p>@eyemgh yep you got it other that only approximately 35% of the students can use the “holistic” adders (like the term), but that is a lot of students. I must be heart wrenching though to see it and very frustrating. Glad we used ED for 2012. Hope your OOSer is as happy to be there as my in state kid.</p>
