Applying to College
1

<p>So I want to apply early decision to cal poly.</p>

<p>I have 3.41 non-weighted, 3.63 weighted CSU and 3.83 weighted Gpas.</p>

<p>Sat- 790 math ( I LOVE math, 510 reading, 580 writing (have beeen studying all summer and expect to raise CR to 600-650 and writing to 650-680)</p>

<p>5 Ap Classes and 6 next year. passed 1, I was sick both weeks of testing so scores are not so great for junior year
World history: 3 (sophomore)
Calculus AB 1
Physics B 3
Language and Comp. 2
US History 2</p>

<p>senior AP's:
Calculus BC
Physics C
American govt.
economics
Literature
Latin V</p>

<p>Sports/Clubs:
soccer (9-11)/12
track (10,11)
Cross Country (11)
MASC (11)/12
Star Wars Club (9)
rubiks cube club (10) [treasurer]

<p>extra curricular:
bird rescue~300+ hours (yes, 3 hundred, my mom makes me)
Horse rescue~20+ hours
Fawn rescue~17+ hours</p>

<p>so my problem is I haven't taken the ACT yet and I was wondering if I should pay the late fee and get my scores back in time for early decision, or apply regular decision and register for the October ACT. </p>

<p>Also, I was wondering if you get a better chance at getting in with ED or is it about the same and do you get more financial aid with ED?</p>

<p>any advice would greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>If you are accepted ED to Cal Poly then you are obligated to attend and must withdraw other applications. Just be sure that CP is your #1choice before applying ED. I’m not sure how chances of acceptance or FA are affected by ED. Be sure to have some safeties that you would be happy attending as back up if you do apply ED. CP’s engineering program is very competitive and with your current stats is probably a reach. Look at past threads to see stats of kids who were rejected last year in engineering.</p>
