@anchorwoman7 I got in for Chemistry. Was notified around Feb. 23rd I think (saw it on portal first, received email a couple of days later)
Stats
applied RD
In state, public HS
HS GPA 4.24 W, 4.00 UW (sorry, I don’t remember the CSU one)
2090 SAT, 2240 superscored SAT
32 ACT w/ writing
8APs, 5 semesters of college credit
25+ EC in wide variety, working, valedictorian, private pilot, used to play sports
still unsure if attending.
Feb 23 was first day of CS and a lot of engineering. I recall a couple majors being a few days ahead of that. Wait list notification started this week, the same day they did last year. In past years, wait list notifications indicates acceptances are done. Maybe they will do it different this year or some will get in off of the wait list (that happens after May 1st), but it is good to consider other options at this point if your portal hasn’t changed to accepted.
When do they start sending rejections
Last year, rejections went out March 10.
Accepted to Cal Poly SLO
Cal Poly GPA = 3.8
ACT = 28
Major: Agricultural Business, Recreation/ Tourism
Congrats! Did you hear today?
I think acceptances will go out until March 11 bc that’s when housing application opens up and it’d be pretty unfair to have people find out later that they got in but get crummy house bc it took so long. (also hopefully means rejections come out march 11th or earlier!)
For those worried, I was accepted for Mechanical Engineering with these stats. There is hope for all of you!
SAT: 1820 (1140 SAT I)
ACT: 25
SAT II: 560 Math II, 610 Physics
CSU GPA: 3.82
Did you guys find out about acceptances today?
@momtoap Of course! 4.21 CSU weighted GPA, 8 APs, 3 UC/CSU accepted honors, 34 ACT (34 E, 33 R, 33 E/W, 35 S, 32 M oops). I’m pretty sure there were no recommendations for Cal Poly. SAT 2160 one-sitting (770 M, 670 W, 720 CR).
If there were ECs (don’t remember), I swam varsity, played club volleyball, founded my school’s STEM club (and am co-president), and also did Robotics, JSA, Interact Club, and a lot of other random stuff. I also had a job as a summer receptionist at a medical office and create promotional flyers and am a social media marketer for a company.
I’m a CA resident and I’m female, so that probably counts for something. I’m surprised a lot of people with higher stats than mine haven’t been admitted. Regardless, I got accepted into my top schools, and Cal Poly was sort of a safety (especially my intended major is ChemE, not Aerospace). Hopefully I’ll be able to open up a spot to someone on waitlist!
Good luck to your son!
@averysw that’s awesome! Did you just hear today? I have the same stats as you, applied to the same major. still waiting to hear,
Accepted as Biology major
SAT: 2200
GPA: 4.0
Please let us know when you were accepted!!!
@Hopeful5555 Oops! I got an email last week on Feb 24 and one today inviting me to apply for the Honors Program.
@uclabound1 thanks! Congrats that’s awesome!
Do the portals get updated at any time of day or night or just business hours?
@Richardconter
when did you find out about your acceptance?
So I applied for CS and haven’t received anything yet. Should I not bother waiting anymore?
My son was wait listed for civil engineering today.
@mama2five Would you mind sharing your son’s stats? Thanks.
