<p>ok, so i have heard that some of the acceptances are coming out this week, and was wondering if that is indeed true?
if so, when should a civil engineering major hear by? (I heard they do it by major) i talked to a friend who goes there, and he said that he got accepted for computer engineering end of feb. also, sorta late, but chance me ;)</p>

<p>MAJOR: Civil Engineering</p>

<p>UW gpa: 3.45; csu gpa: 3.65 (low, i know :frowning:
SAT: 2010 (superscore) CR+M: 1430/1600
10 APs: world history (10), AP US History (11), AP Lang (11), AP Physics B (11), AP Calc AB (11),
AP Calc BC (12), AP Physics C Mechanics (12), AP Gov (12), AP Econ (12), AP Lit (12), </p>

<p>started AP Latin, but dropped, teacher didnā€™t like my writing, and i didnā€™t like how it was effecting my gpa</p>

<p>lots of sports (soccer, track, cross country)
Lots of clubs (MASC, Science Bowl (Captain) and many othersā€¦)</p>

<p>got a job, but after the filing period was over, or else i could have put 10 hrs work per week</p>

<p>so yeah, little late, but any answers/ chances? THANK YOU!</p>

<p>According to the official site, the average GPA for the freshmen engineers is a 4.08. BUT your SAT score is really high so that balances out the low GPA part (<a href=ā€œCal Poly Admissionsā€>Cal Poly Admissions). As for the rest, Iā€™ll let someone with experience besides showing statistics give you an answer. Good luck! </p>

<p>CSU diff from Cal poly btw. Cal Poly is basically UC Cap Weight (8 honors max + Freshman year)</p>

<p>No one can really give you your chance per se, but I can tell you that GPA counts as 45% of your numeric evaluation. That will be your biggest hurdle. With that said, rigor and test scores combined also count 45% and both are pretty strong. ECs only count 10% and are bumped by both leadership and work experience. Civil isnā€™t as competitive as aero or mechanical (so Iā€™ve read), so youā€™ll get a bump there too. Take this all with a grain of salt as chancing is a crazy wild guess at best. </p>
