Hi, my Child applied to Calpoly, received an email stating they received application etc, however, there was nothing in the email about creating a portal. Has this happened to anyone else? Does this come in another separate email?

S24 submitted his app about a week ago and just got the email about creating a portal last night so it may just take a little time.
The email about creating the student portal can take a week or more as noted by @Mamabear9. Check the spam/junk folder before calling.
Hi, did he get two emails? She received one shortly after she applied, thanking her for applying and telling her to add them to her email etc. but nothing about creating a portal? Wondering if that comes in a separate email? She applied weeks ago. I’m thinking we need to call admissions?
Hi, she applied 10/6. Received an email 10/14 saying they received her application, but nothing about a portal. Now it’s another 2 weeks. Nothing in junk/spam. Trying to find out if they get the one email saying they received app and another later about opening a portal, as this is different from the other CSU she applied for. I’m at this point thinking something is wrong and need to call.

Thank you! My daughter just informed me the email showed up late last night! Crisis averted! I guess I need to calm down 
Yes there were 2 emails….one after submission and then one about 8-9 days later with instructions for the portal.
Someone told me it helps to apply early. Does anyone know if that is true?
No advantage for admissions if you apply early. As long as you submit the application by the November 30th deadline, it will be evaluated the same as all the other applicants. Decisions will not be out until March 2024.
Hi
This is a question about CSU application portal.
My daughter is taking Linear Algebra and Multivar calcular as dual enrollment class. I would assume she will enter both of these as college course. However what is the appropriate value for Subject Area drop down. It has dozens of values to select from including Algebra, Calculas, Mathematics etc etc.
Appreciate any help.
Can you post a screenshot of the options so posters can help you?
Listing them under Mathematics is fine.
Thank you !
@aafat Just make sure at the end of the Academic History section where there is the summary of the A-G Subject Totals that these college courses are assigned the “C” for Mathematics. Cal Poly has some great Youtube videos including this one Cal State Apply - A-G Matching Tile - Academic History
Edited: Reminder that the GPA that is calculated is capped weighted CSU GPA 10th-11th and not the Cal Poly GPA that includes 9th grade.
Yes… I put C on those. Now she has 7 years of Math(C) lol
Hello, can you clarify if the GPAs listed on the First Year Student Profile for 2023 is the range of all selected for admission, or if it is the middle 50%?
For example, if you have a gpa by their calculation of 3.98 and the range for engineering is 4.13-4.25, is it even worth applying? Has leadership, major related work experience.
