<p>Thank you eyemgh. That is everything spelled out, but unfortunately I don’t think some people really want to see everything spelled out. They just want to believe there is some kind if conspiracy. </p>
<p>Did any Engineering majors get accepted/rejected yet?</p>
<p>So just to demonstrate that some of us have read the 50 page package while others simply talk about it, on page 20 there is some detail as to how specific classes (like speech) can create 700 point swings in MCA scores in Model # 72 for Business Admin. What’s in the first 71 models? Model #7 is shown on the prior page. Undoubtedly, there are dozens of these models, one for each and every major. So where’s that information? Dogluvr1 - did you read the document? Eyemgh - How about you? Where’s the grid for Mechanical Engineering? How about Economics? This presentation is illustrative, not complete by any means.</p>
<p>Interestingly, US News says there are about 70 majors. I think we’re missing 95% of the content of the scoring models.</p>
<p>First, if you aren’t in yet it doesn’t mean you aren’t in at all.</p>
<p>Second, if you don’t have another option that you aren’t happy with, you or someone who’s advising you set you up to be disappointed.</p>
<p>Third, SCOOLS CAN AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. It just so happens that CP SLO is at least marginally transparent about it. For instance, no one who is one ever wants to believe in the power of being a legacy at an elite school, but someone from Stanford finally studied it. You know what your admissions likelihood is boosted if you’re a legacy? 25percentage points! That means at Stanford you go from 5% to 30%. Fair? Not really, but it is what it is.</p>
<p>Those who are resilient and able to move on in the face of adversity tend to be both the happiest and most successful.</p>
<p>I know you are understandably disappointed and wish you luck in your quest, but in the end you need a plan B.</p>
<p>Yes I did read the full package. This is very unproductive. Even if you get the “complete” presentation you will still not be happy with the outcome unless it is in your favor. </p>
<p>If the student applies to a very small major with limited spots, some are really surprised to get rejected with high stats. Happens every year with Kinesiology which usually has like 50 spots and thousands applying. Aerospace is another major limited spots too. </p>
<p>Starting this coming Saturday March 15, I am pretty sure for most of us Cal Poly decision will become irrelevant, as most of us will move to UC decision threads. Even the ones who got admitted to Cal Poly, because as we all know only ~30 actually will accept Cal Poly admission.</p>
<p>Opps, I meant ~30%</p>
<p>@norcalparent, I just called UC Davis and the message said that they start releasing decisions this Friday the 14th, after 5pm. Hopefully all the rest of the UC’s do the same:). </p>
<p>So long as the process is transparent, the outcome is irrelevant.</p>
<p>Well said @norcalparent. My son for one has stopped looking at this posting and wondering if he will get accepted by SLO because he got accepted early at UCSB and UCSD. I am the one checking only because I find it entertaining to read some of the postings. I would say that SLO is a Cal State school and their process should be very simple as most Cal State schools are. They are not a UC or Private school so it doesn’t need to have all the scoring and adders it just makes it more complicated than it needs to be. Everything happens for a reason so in the end don’t get upset if you don’t get in and don’t get so uptight about the process. Move on there are more important things in life to worry about. But the postings are entertaining. </p>
<p>@cmms123 I didn’t know that UCSB and UCSD did early decisions. Did your son apply to a specific major? Oh and big congrats to him!!!</p>
<p>So many complain about the early waves of the Cal Poly roll out, but like it was mentioned above it is nice most know of CP decision well in advance of UC’s and some ivies. Holding the rejections seems new, but I think they are hoping to extend an admit or waitlist spot. Cal Poly has 19k enrollment, UC’s are significantly higher. If CP remains relatively small as a public the competition for limited spots will get higher.</p>
<p>UCSB does send out early annoucements to top canidates (check UCSB posting). UCSD called some students as well (Check out UCSD postings). He is happy to get accepted to both, but dont get me wrong, he would have been happy if he got accepted to SLO. It is a great school in a very nice area.</p>
<p>@cmms123 Congratulation on UCs admissions! So far SLO thread was the only game in town, so I tune here often. For those with high stats and not admitted to Cal Poly, lets be honest, if you did not apply ED, Cal Poly was not your first choice to begin with, and Cal Poly knows that.</p>
<p>Amen! Well said cmms123. Best wishes to all who are waiting for a UC decision. With all of the great stats that have been posted I know everyone will end up in a good place. Stay positive and open minded. </p>
<p>One thing to note is that last year CalPoly SLO had lower acceptance rate than most UCs. Only UCB and UCLA had a higher acceptance rate.</p>
<p>SLO - 34.5%
UCLA - 19.68%
UCB- 20.83%
UCSD - 36.76%</p>
<p>Congratulations to all newly admitted students. Some majors admit very few students compared to the number of applications that are received and compared to the university’s size. You had no opportunity to write an essay or list your EC’s. Many low funded public colleges have no other choice but to use numbers. But you beat some of the most difficult odds. You deserve to be proud. In the years since my acceptance, I have never seen such ungracious parent comments. I suggest you find your “entertainment” elsewhere. As others have said, move on.</p>
<p>Were there any instate Mechanical Engineering majors accepted on this thread? I’m still waiting to hear… 4.12 w gpa, 31 ACT, 2100 SAT, 10 APs… </p>
<p>@aaronjcann - there has only been 1 in-state Mech Engr acceptance back on Feb. 21. (that has been posted on t his website anyway) . Good luck to you</p>
