I am a high school senior at a boarding school in new england. I applied to Cal Poly SLO this fall and selected the “Environmental Earth and Soil Sciences” as my major. I initially wasn’t too worried about the whole selection process, however, i have been reading about how selective and competitive CP SLO is becoming, which is making me anxious. I know that some departments (e.g. liberal arts majors) are much easier to get into than engineering and science departments. Does anyone know how Env. earth and soil sciences compares to other majors? I have a bit of a weird high school transcript as I took time off for mental health reasons. My ACT score is 31, SAT score is 1360, and GPA is around a 4.0 (not positive about Cal poly- specific GPA or weighted vs unweighted). I don’t have paid work experience in my major field (work is hard when you go to boarding school) and I have 2 APs, but have maintained good grades and have lots of volunteering and leadership roles throughout high school.
