<p>I thought Cal Poly was EA, not ED. Is that wrong?</p>
<p>"The ‘Early Admissions Decision’ option allows qualified applicants to know, around mid-December, if Cal Poly will offer them admission to Fall quarter. Applicants selected will have test scores on the higher end of the scale, are in the top 5-10% of their graduating class, and have established strong academic records throughout their entire secondary education. Early Decision applicants also must submit the CSUmentor online application with the $55.00 fee electronically by October 31st.</p>
<pre><code>* Applications must be submitted by the October 31st deadline.
- Cal Poly will use the ACT or SAT1 (math and critical reading only) scores you have right now for the selection process.
- If you are selected for admission, Cal Poly needs your decision by January 15th
- Applicants not selected through this option will automatically be reviewed under the regular admission program."

<p>Cal Poly offers Early Decision
Early Application Deadline: October 31
College Notification Date: December 15</p>
<p>EA/ED Policy: Early Decision is an option offered to those first-time freshman applicants for whom Cal Poly is clearly their first choice. Applicants should have established strong and consistent academic records throughout secondary school and should have completed all the required standardized testing by October of their senior year. Candidates are reviewed on their program of study in secondary school, academic performance in classes, standardized test scores, extra-curricular activities, and/or work experience.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.venturescholar.org/hs/ea_ed.html[/url]”>http://www.venturescholar.org/hs/ea_ed.html</a></p>
<p>Early Decision candidates must be committed to attend Cal Poly. Students admitted under this plan and who accept the terms of admission may be released only for compelling medical or financial reasons. Students who apply for Early Decision and are not selected will automatically be reviewed under the Regular Decision process.</p>
<p>For students who choose the Early Decision option:
- The student must submit an electronic application, along with the required $55 application fee, by a final deadline of October 31st.
- The student is notified of the admission decision around December 15th.
- The student’s reply to an offer of admission by Cal Poly must be submitted electronically by January 15th.</p>
