Cal Poly SLO Class of 2028 Freshman Discussion Thread

This is the post I found on a different thread. It states that new students for 2024-2025 would have the opportunity to participate in this new offering:

Could someone ELI5 please what the year round program would entail? Would it be mandatory? Would it mean taking a different semester off that year? etc.

SLO several years back accepted In-state students a day before the OOS students and would post admission decisions alphabetically by the College starting with College of Agriculture. Things have definitely changed.

Cal State system has 80% in-state students, and UC has closer to 90 percent, which is much higher than UVA’s 65%. We just also have a lot more high school students in general, and most people applying are narrow-minded in the 2-3 CSUs and 5 UCs they want to consider, even though they are all governed by the same board of regents/ trustees and commonly share faculty.

You have it reversed since UC’s are capped at 18% OOS/ International enrolled students so 82% in-state. Other than a few popular campuses, the majority of CSU’s have 90% or higher enrolled in-state students.

I would need to do more digging on your data points because our high school has about 100 acceptances across both the UCs/state schools per year and that’s a good year. (Approx 500 students per class)

In any case this is probably not the place to discuss. Let’s keep it to decision date:)

we received an email about a week ago with a survey asking about our preferences/feelings relating to the year round option.
