<p>Cal Poly received over 48000 applicants for Fall 2013. It is a record number that exceeded the previous year’s record of 45000.</p>
<p>I think this accounts for why they are so slow in getting back to everyone on their decisions.</p>

<p>Plus, CP typically accept 13000 students (frosh + transfer) so you can imagine their workload.</p>
<p>This year Frosh acceptance rate will probably fall below 30% for the first time.</p>
