<p>naturelover, SCU’s RD transfer deadline is April 15.</p>
<p>Cal Poly SLO does an incrediable job communicating with prospective students and parents. We received a number of video messages from the campus from the 10th grade on. By the time it came to pick among offers of admission, SLO was a SLAM dunk…</p>
<p>Tell me your kidding Cal Poly Engineer. My mom went to “Cow Pie” (as we all know Cal Poly Pomona is called) and she talks all the time about the stench of cow manure there. Be fair, they are both agricultural schools and both of the smell like cow dung.</p>

“any additional information would be great…”</p>
<p>Another option would be to take any remaining transferable classes at Cuesta and file a TAG to UCD. UCD has an excellent CE program and will guarantee entry into your requested major if you fullfill their requirements. Cuesta offers an excellent engineering-based course selection. Plus, I heard from a friend, that the kids say that love it because they enjoy all the positive interaction with the CPSLO student body.</p>
<p>CalPolyEngineer- you seem to be a bit over the top about SLO- is it possible you applied and didn’t get in??? All kidding aside, I have no problem with Pomona. I attended SLO as an engineering student, but then lived near Pomona as I started my career. I actually loved where I lived near the Pomona campus, but as a working person with a family. The area just doesn’t have the student life of SLO. As a student, there is nothing to compare to the SLO campus. The town is built up around the campus and it is a great atmosphere for any student. Beaches and mountains are so close- while I note that you posted on another thread that beaches are within 30 minutes of the Pomona campus, you must have used a helicopter as there is absolutely no way! It is ungodly hot in Pomona 4-5 months of the year and the smog hides the mountains on some days. The Pomona campus is actually on the very edge of Pomona in a very agricultural area. Pomona is a commuter campus. And while as an engineer, our firm found very competent engineers graduating from Pomona, over-all most companies love the graduates of SLO for their more hands-on approach. Pomona is a good school- but it’s not SLO!</p>

<p>Yes you are right! I got rejected by the ubber-prestigious Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Department of Chemical Engineering (at par with MIT’s). Unfortunately, I was merely admitted to their far-less known Materials Engineering department. Hey who knows! Now that they are having self-supported classes at most CSUs for the summer, we will see every CSU turning into “REAL” Cal Polys where 65% of the students are upper-middle class and they drive all the poor and genetically inferior to the CCC system… yay for eugenics! Warren J. Baker and Charles B. Reed should get a freaking medal!!!</p>
<p>Yep, you’re definitely bitter.</p>
<p>Good to see that someone else got the intense sarcasm there, for which I applaud you, CalPolyEngineer. But…what exactly warranted that? You know as well as I do that the people on College Confidential represent probably less than five percent of the people actually going to SLO.</p>
<p>Yikes!!!</p>
<p>CalPolyEngineer^ I think it might be a good idea for you to move on and leave the CC site for CPSLO if it is upsetting you so much. You sound like you really like your school, so why are you on the CC site for CPSLO? Don’t make the students and parents here feel bad about their school choice. The truth is that anyone who gets into college is very fortunate and needs to focus on making the best of their education.</p>
<p>Okay, finally an update…my daughter called Cal Poly admissions (spoke to a very nice lady who didn’t rush her) who said that they accepted 9 out of 283 applicants for the Civil Engineering slots!!! What the heck?! I wasn’t on the phone so I’m not sure, but it may have had an impact that she would have been a transfer student (already has an Associates in Math/Science & Liberal Arts … again, 4.0 GPA). The lady was nice and looked her up and said something to the effect that “wow, you have unbelievable grades…blah, blah”. Bottom line, there is nothing she can do about it. She asked about Cuesta and the lady said that even if she took summer classes there that it doesn’t affect whether she is accepted at SLO or not. She said all schools that transfer in are considered the same…hmmmm? My daughter can not re-apply at SLO (I didn’t think so), under a different major until 2011, so she has to let it go (and so do we). She hasn’t heard from San Diego State yet…pray for her! Thanks for all the help.</p>
<p>Is that 9 slots for transfer students or 9 slots overall?</p>
<p>I just asked her and she said she’s not sure, but pretty sure it was for transfers because she had already told the lady that she would’ve been a transfer student and the lady was looking at her specific stats on the computer. Still no word on San Diego State…does anyone know what they are doing? Anyone accepted there yet? …still worried…</p>
<p>D was accepted at SDSU a few days ago but she will most likely go to Cal Poly.</p>
