<p>Specifically engineering if you can find it. I can find the overall acceptance rate for the university, but I’ll take everything you can find, engineering or not. Thanks for the help and best of luck for admissions.</p>

there is no rate mentioned
but the figures are helpful...</p>
<p>CSUMentor</a> - Explore Campuses - Campus Facts - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo</p>
<p>look towards bottom, 47% of applicants were admitted</p>
<p>This also has some stats, just select the profile box.
Cal</a> Poly > admissions - vbook</p>
<p>Cal Poly releases common data sets.</p>
<p>Says the yield is about 29%.</p>
<p>Isn't Cal Poly the toughest CSU to get into? I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it sure is competitive...</p>
<p>Cal Poly has a 47% acceptance rate and San Diego State has a 44% acceptance rate</p>
<p>^ That doesn't mean it's better. All depends on the applicant pool.</p>
<p>True, those are just the numbers. From what I hear people say it is the hardest to get into and is seen as a really good school. But I have also heard that even though its a good school people do look down on it as it is still a cal state school.</p>
<p>as far as engineering goes, it was rated one of the top public engineering schools in the country... i think it is in a similar position with architecture (and ag?)</p>
<p>trust me, sdsu is not a great school. the average gpa to get in is mid to low 3.0.s, compared to cal poly's high 3.0s. its engineering school is nothing compared to slo.</p>
<p>architecture program is 4th in nation.</p>
<p>cal poly came to my school and left me and some friends with these statistics from the 2006 engineering applicant pool. </p>
<p>Applied: 5,944
Accepted: 3,612
Average GPA: 3.81
Average SAT (1600): 1280</p>
<p>So admit rate for engineering in 2006 was 60.77%</p>
<p>For Architecture (Actually, Architecture, Architectural Engineering, City and Regional Planning and landscape Architecture COMBINED) 2006-2007 </p>
<p>2450 Applications, 641 offered admission, 289 Actually enrolled. </p>

<p>SDSU had an 11.4% acceptance rate for their 2007-2008 admissions. They recieved 61,000 apllicants and accepted only 7,000.</p>
<p>Well SDSU had 61,000 applicants for 7,000 spots.</p>
<p>Cal Poly had 35,000 applicants for >5,000 spots. So SDSU will have a lower acceptance rate because they have almost double the applicants, but not double the amount of spots. Make sense?</p>
<p>Sure it's for 7,000 spots in SDSU, but keep in mind they will acept around 20k given that most kids will not be attending SDSU.</p>
<p>"SDSU had an 11.4% acceptance rate"</p>
<p>Hahahahahahahaha so now SDSU is suddenly as selective as Harvard. You left out that they ACCEPT way more students than actually enroll there. ;)</p>
<p>Collegemom16 seems to forget that the 11 percent acceptance rate means ACCEPTANCE RATE, not enrollment rate. when they have a certain amount of slots open, CSU's fill those slots with people they accepted. Based on the college, like Cal Poly SLO for example, they will admit a varying amount of more people than slot.</p>
<p>In Poly's case, they admit very few more and waitlist a few thousand more, because most people that get admitted to Cal Poly enroll there(They're not the #1 rated public undergrad engineering school in California for nothing).</p>
<p>Personally, I got declined with a 3.57 gpa with a 1330 CSU SAT(640 reading, 690 math).</p>
<p>So yes, their acceptance rates are much, much lower this year, and al least in Poly's case, can be compared to Harvard.</p>
<p>No Slophil3, you are the idiot. </p>
<p>She clearly corrected the poster who thought the acceptance rate was 11.4%. Learn to read. The acceptance rate this year is like 45% ish. They expect more than half of the students accepted to not go there, because they will go to a UC or private school. Its not like SLO is Heaven and everyone aspires to go there like you do. </p>
<p>And by the way, they waitlisted 600, not "a few thousand more." Get your facts right. Also, you cannot say that SLO has the top engineering program in California. Again, stay away from your fantasies. As far as Engineering schools go, yeah it is up there, but not #1. If you were to look at US NEWS rankings, SLO is ranked number 2 in California for "non-doctoral schools" Behind Harvey-Mudd. If you were to compared it to the other Engineering programs in California, CAL and Stanford are clearly above it. </p>
<p>You got declined with fairly average Stats as my friend with a 4.0 CSU gpa and higher Sat scores than you got declined as well. </p>
<p>And Harvard is not what you compare Slo to since Harvard is not only a private University, but not known for its Engineering Program. A better comparison is Cal and Stanford. </p>
<p>So thank you for pointing out your ignorance, as it was great fun for me to comment on.</p>
