@Domboloid Congrats!! Are you in state or OOS?

There is honestly no place i’d rather go to school its always been my #1 and im so stressed out about being on the waitlist.

Is Cal Poly going to do that thing again even for waitlist decisions where people who get accepted hear first and the rejects don’t hear back til another week??? So inconsiderate!

@pleasgod I’m in state. I’ll definitly be going, it was my number 1 choice all year. Now there’s an extra spot at UC Davis

Does this mean acceptances off the waitlist are over??

Hey does anyone know for the conditional acceptance requirement of keeping over a 3.0 GPA… is that weighted or unweighted?

@doodlebop06 Weighted.

Has anybody gotten off the waitlist for business admin? Pls respond pls.

my friend was waitlisted for that and hasn’t gotten off yet

@nervouspop Congrats! My son chose CalPOLY computer science.

I would not worry about housing choices. All freshman get housing. I’ve read that around 50% are randomly assigned roommates because they didn’t identify any roommates in advance, while the other 50% may have selected a roommate in advance. However, in either case you can’t select your residence. You provide a preference on living groups but you won’t know which living groups will be housed in which dorms. So it does not seem like there is much disadvantage to being late in selecting housing.

Has anyone that’s on the waitlist heard back from journalism yet?

I just called as well. They said: nothing today, first wave in the middle of the month, second wave at the end of the month, maybe even beginning of June.

@Marinay did you call about the waitlist?

@Marinay, are you talking about transfers or first time freshmen?

As it seems like this thread is more active than the waitlist thread, I am posting the same message here.
