Chance Me - OOS Biological Sciences

First of all Cal Poly SLO has a different GPA calculation so instead of 10-11th a-g course grades with an 8 semester cap on Honors points(CSU GPA) they use 9-11th grades with the same Honors point cap.

OOS applicants are in a separate applicant pool and the admit rates are higher than in-state unfortunately I have no specific data for 2022 but the OOS admit rate for 2021 was around 60%. The OOS applicants were about 1/8th the number of In-state applicants(6500 vs 48500)

Biology has an estimated admit rate around 13% so all applicants should consider it a Reach school for Biology.
