<p>Some majors are harder to get into than others. I don’t know where animal science stands; maybe someone knowledgeable can address that.</p>

<p>My son is a freshman Engineering major. See if you can find out on the website the percentage your major admitted last year, itll give you an idea. Last year’s overall freshman admission was around 25% of applicants, it’s becoming a very popular school. Youve done all you can do now so dont stress too much! Be sure to put any EC’s that even sound like they relate to your major field of study. Its great youre doing early admission, itll also get you your first choice in housing if you get admitted.
One thought, if its truly your dream school and by some chance you dont get in, go to Cuesta comm. college in SLO for a year or two, they are affiliated and its easy to get accepted and transfer from there. You can find out more when the time comes…best of luck, its an incredible place and a great goal to have.</p>

<p>Although Cal Poly is getting more popular and selective, the overall acceptance rate is not 25% (yet). For Freshmen entering Fall 2012, the rate was 31.3% (11,549 accepted / 36,946 applied).</p>

<p>If I get into Pomona, but not SLO, can I do the same transfer thing I would do at the community college?</p>

<p>No transferring from a CSU or other state college decreases your chances of getting in. Coming from a CC are your best chances.</p>
