Thanks @Gumbymom for all this data. August 6 date for appeal decision is really late. do you know what’s the % approvals for appeals??
Unfortunately I do not have any data on the % of appeals approved but usually under 3% is the historical information.

Looking at past Instagram, kids posted about getting off the waitlist around June 20 - 25 and then again after July 15. So it just seems easier to have those dates in our heads.

Just an FYI. After June 1st Cal Poly newly admitted students cannot choose a roommate, a dorm building or a room. They get placed and can’t change

I am not sure why there is a waitlist. according to this article, they already have way more confirmed freshmen than their targeted allotment for each college. Cut us all loose so we can celebrate the schools are already selected.

I think the writing is on the wall here and that is why they have been waiting for the UC’s to shake out. They over enrolled. My oldest is a Freshman at CP and she just registered for Fall classes and is waitlisted in all but one class. She can’t even get a full schedule or a requirement to move on. It is actually quite common and an issue for many impacted CA schools… over enrollment and impaction.

During many presentations over the past year they indicated that growing the size of the school was their goal. Do you think these numbers are over the projected increase then?
Was sure hoping there would be some movement this week with the June 1st deadline for admitted students to make payments. Heard that SDSU has closed waitlist acceptances.

SLO will usually admit some waitlisted students around or after the Transcript deadline. Last year they admitted some waitlisted students in July and also on the same date they sent denials which was July 15.

Hi, Apologies if this has been posted earlier. Rookie in state parent here.
Does one need to submit final transcripts including AP scores if wait listed?
Thanks in Advance
No. Transcripts and AP scores will only be needed if the student is admitted off the waitlist.
