These are my stats so far. I graduated high school in 2023, but since I took 9 AP Classes and got the credits, I applied to Cal Poly SLO as a junior.
Major: Chemistry
GPA: 3.75
AS-T: No
Pre-reqs: Complete
Golden Four: Yes

I will have all the required classes done by the end of next semester, but I will only have 1 of the desired classes done since I’ve only been at my community college for a year. Since I’ve never heard of someone transferring from a community college in just one year, I’ve been dying to know if I even have a chance on getting accepted or if I should just not worry about it.
Anyone know how competitive selection is for transfers applying specifically for the journalism major? Can only find information regarding the college of liberal arts as whole

SLO does do not breakout admission data by major. Based on the projected target numbers, SLO projects 76 applicants for 12 enrolled spots. Of course they admit more students than spots.
It would be helpful to everyone if you & others list the 4 grades you received for your Golden Four.
It’s usually done like this: A, A, B, A
Good to know thanks!
Golden Four: A, A, A, A
Do those AP courses count for the major required for Chemistry or just for units to bump you up to a Junior?
I don’t understand how did you do 60 units in 2 semesters.
All but one of those AP classes counted as GE credit so all the major requirements I did at my CC and some GE but most of them were done through AP credits
These are my current stats. I graduated HS in 2022 and spent 2 years at CC. Cal Poly is literally the only school I want to transfer to so crossing my fingers.

Hi! I haven’t heard the term Golden Four. Could you explain?
Golden Four" courses (Oral Communication, Written Communication, Critical Thinking, Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning)
You can find them on your CSU sheet used for transferring.
If your community college doesn’t have a sheet, then go to Assist.org
On the homepage on the right side under “Search below for transferrable courses”
Type name of your Community College
click: CSU GE-Breadth Certification Courses
click “View Transferability Lists”
click: CSU GE-Breadth Area
They’ll be listed under A1, A2, A3 and B4
