Cal Poly enrollment projections for this year’s class of 2025:
Business Administration
FTF (First Time Freshman) Target: 548
FTF Apps: 6,868
Communication Studies:
FTF Target: 97
FTF Apps: 830
If one assumes a yield of roughly 33%, then you multiply target by 3 and divide by the # of apps, you get a rough idea of acceptance %:
So, Communication Studies would have roughly a 35% acceptance rate and Business Admin would have about 23%.
The BIG caveat is yield. The yield is likely much different between Communication Studies in CLA (College of Liberal Arts) than the OCOB (Orfalea College of Business). If it were me, then I’d assume the yield is much higher for OCOB than CLA, making Business Admin much more difficult acceptance rate, than above, using a higher than the 33% yield I assumed.
