<p>Conditional acceptance just means that you need to graduate from high school with the senior-year courses that you had entered into CSU Mentor when you applied, with grades no less than Cs. Cal Poly can’t really give you an unconditional acceptance if you haven’t already graduated from high school. So when you send in your final transcript next June, that condition will be removed and you can matriculate.</p>
<p>Some CSUs have rolling admission where you get notified fairly early, but this seems way early for Regular Decision notifications.</p>
<p>You can apply for both ED and RD from Oct 1 to Oct 31. There’s no default date for ED application. You have to explicitly select the ED application on CSU Mentor in order to put in an ED application.</p>
