portal just changed and confirmed the waitlist
Specific high school course requirements and recommendations are listed here: High School Course Requirements | Cal Poly
subject | required | recommended |
---|---|---|
History / Social Science | 2 years | |
English | 4 years | 5 years |
Math | 3 years, including 2 years algebra and 1 year geometry | 5 years, including 2 years advanced math such as trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics |
Lab Science | 2 years, including physical and biological science | 4 years |
LOTE | 2 years of the same language | 4 years |
VAPA | 1 year | 2 years |
Electives | 1 year |
Coursework is counted from 9th-12th grades, plus any applicable 7th and 8th grade coursework for Math and LOTE.
One might ask, what does it mean for coursework to be ârecommendedâ?
- It is believed that the extra years give bonus points, as in the old MCA calculations.
- Math probably gives more bonus points than the other coursework.
- Additional years (such as more than 5 math years) are probably not counted.

If SLO is doing the waitlist like previous years, you do not opt in since you are automatically on the waitlist but you can opt out of the waitlist.
Do they usually have a waitlist round and then wait to have a rejection round? I donât see any rejection yet? Thanks! Good luck everyone.
Yes, the denial wave comes later. Last year it was March 27 and the 2 years before it was March 30.
darn
are there any chances at all of admits now?
waitlisted with option button to accept to be on the waitlist or not by April 15th
There have been some admits posted the last couple years with the waitlist wave and in-between the waitlist and denial wave. I cannot say if it will be the same for this year.
Yes, I first I didnât have the opt in option but I do now
S25 waitlisted for Aerospace. After rejections at UF, Wisconsin and UIUC, we will take it as a mini win! Heâs 100% committed to VT but still nicer than a rejection.
Thank you for the information so they are asking for an opt in this year. Good luck.

still havenât heard am i cooked
D waitlisted Anthro & Georgraphy
Not too bummed and pleasantly surprised because her 9th grade grades were not great so her Calpoly GPA was quite a bit lower than her UC GPA.
Itâs so ridiculous that they havenât released ANY transfer decisions yet. I know this is the freshman forum but this is the latest transfers have ever had to wait.
Thanks Gumbymom Iâm just so impatient sorry
still âAwaiting Decisionâ. And waiting⊠AndâŠwaiting. I went to SLO high '92. Never would have thought CPSLO would ever be like this. On the bright side, at least all the UCs except UCB are outâŠ
my friend got rejected
wait she got a rejection?
