<p>what percentage of waitlist applicants are accepted to slo?</p>
<p>It all depends. It sucks because you have to wait until after may 1st (decision deadline) to find out if you have a chance which means you need to turn down all of your other colleges.</p>
<p>I would assume the percentage varies per year because more people are applying and the ones that are accepted which don’t decide to attend are replaced by people on the waitlist. Sorry I couldn’t give a better answer</p>

<p>1) 2012
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 2,555
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 1,064</p>
<p>2) 2011
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 642
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 49</p>
<p>3)2010
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 1,746
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 31</p>
<p>Wow, huge differences every year. Oh Cal Poly, why must you be so hard to predict?</p>
<p>Has anyone received the survey to fill out for wait listing?</p>
<p>The 2012 %'s are a little off because this is the year they accepted less at first because of the budget cuts. Once the budget passed they were able to add more. I think the others are more accurate. Unfortunately!</p>
<p>Do we seriously have to wait until may 1st until they tell us? What is this madness? </p>

<p>Best wishes to waitlisters. FWIW, I suspect the low apparent eventual acceptance rate off the waitlist gross ( say less than 8% in 2011) is misleading. That is to say, some portion of that gross will have opted out of waiting, leaving the end number of active candidates rather smaller, and thus the net acceptance rate more optimistic for those who wait to the May finish. How <em>much</em> better the net acceptance rate is we can only speculate.</p>
<p>A lot of people will probalbly respond before May 1st so if you are high up in the waitlist you have a chance</p>
