I am about to start my senior year and as a result have began to seriously look at colleges. One that really sticks out to me is Cal Poly SLO. I am from Maryland but have always wanted to go to California for school and CP has exactly what I am looking for. Its affordable, regarded highly, near the beach, active, clean, and a really nice college town from what I understand. So my question here is what are my chances in getting into this college. Also besides retake the sat (which I am doing as soon as possible already) what can I do to increase my chances of admission. Also I know they admit you through your major, so I would like to add that I will be majoring in Computer science most likely.


Here are my “stats”…
SAT math: 700
SAT CR: 640
SAT Writing: 630 (but who cares)
GPA: 4.2
Extra curricular: A lot of stuff like like basketball swimming, math honor society, I work camp, ect (Not much leadership however)
Difficulty of classes: I try to take the most difficult. Last year I took AP Language and comp, BC calculus, and physics as my hardest classes. This year (senior) i’m going to be taking multivariable calculus, AP physics, and some engineering classes my school offers. I get Bs in these harder classes and As in the rest. I have 4 language credits. And plenty of lab sciences.

Also i’m out of state and i know they are looking for my OOS students so if that helps at all.
