What are my chances of getting into Cal Poly Pomona?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cal Poly Pomona

<p>First of all, I want to major in Electrical Engineering. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>I had around a 3.6 GPA in freshman year, but I got all A’s throughout Sophomore Year and took one honors course that year, and in 1st semester Junior Year, I took 2 APs and 2 honors and got all A’s except for a B in AP English. I’m also taking an Engineering class, in which I got an A. My weighted GPA is around 4.3. </p>

<p>Additionally, I have an officer position of “Events Manager” for the Neuroscience Club at my school, I’m in French Honor Society, and I’m a member of various clubs such as Science Club, French Club, and Speech and Debate. (I haven’t done anything for Speech and Debate, though, but I am still a member.)
I also volunteer at a local mosque, and I have volunteered at my local library, as well.</p>

<p>I plan to retake the SAT this coming October and hopefully get a score of 2100+ </p>

<p>And in Senior Year, I plan to take 4 APs, one being AP Computer Science A, and 1 honors class. </p>

<p>So, what do you guys think? What kind of chance do I have of getting into Pomona as an Electrical Engineering major, with the few Extra-Curricular Activities that I do?</p>

<p>*All help is appreciated, please and thank you!!!</p>

<p>For both Cal Polys (SLO & Pomona) always refer to the unweighted GPA and the SAT portions in math and reading (no writing needed). Also extracurriculars are not needed.</p>

<p>The average unweighted GPA in the College of Engineering at CPP is 3.51 and the average GPAs are 1156 (out of 1600). Since this number includes non-impacted engineering technology (a.k.a. technician-like majors), it’s probably fair to say that entering GPAs and SATs for electrical engineering are higher.</p>

<p>With this in consideration, for your major I would say that an unweighted GPA of 3.60 and SATs of 1600 out of 1900 (approx. 2000 out of 2400) will make you competitive.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Well I got in last year to computer engineering with much lower stats (3.1 GPA, 1210 out of 1600 SAT)</p>

<p>As this is said before, your extra-curricular activities and community service hours aren’t a factor of consideration at CPP. (I’m not saying stay away from them, but be aware of it).</p>

<p>Totally different thing but, @Bl4ke, did you get waitlisted last year? :$</p>

<p>Hence the notion of using the term… “average”. In the statistical sense, you are an outlier.</p>

<p>No, and most people got accepted in March last year as well so this year seems quite a bit different.</p>
