Hi Y’all I visited Cal-Poly San louis Obispo and loved it. I loved how much they focused on undergraduate teaching, how students get to do research, and how happy the students seemed. The one thing is Cal Poly would be a reach for me, I am out of state and not a tippy top applier.
About me:
Math Major
3.7 gpa (dual-enrolled similar to a head start program) This is considered a very high gpa for my program.
1320 new SAT/ 28 ACT
Oregon resident
Total cost of school should not exceed 45k/year (with very little federal aid expected)
my test scores aren’t great but with dyslexia and anxiety I do not test well. I have done a full year at my community college as a high schooler and kept a 4.0 in rigorous classes. I do believe that shows my college readiness better than a standardized text. I’m still a freshman applicant though because all my credits are done before freshman diploma.
I’ll have taken through multivariable calculus and the 200 level chemistry sequence.
ECs: volunteering at metropolitan science museum giving presentations and running chemistry lab.
tutoring to inner city students through non-profit
Helping elderly with technology at residential home
Would prefer lower party life, a diverse student body, and a school that would give me great opportunities to get me into grad school. As for location think western undergraduate exchange minus hawaii. College town or urban environment preferred.
