<p>I just had a quick question about transferring in one year. I’m a first year CC student and I’m applying to a few UCs and Cal Poly. I know this is a UC thread but you all seem pretty knowledgeable about one year transfer stuff so I came here for advice about Cal Poly.</p>
<p>I didn’t take any CC courses during high school, but I came into college with 30 AP credits. I’ll be taking 18 units this semester and 18 next semester, which will complete my IGETC and my prereqs. I know UCs have no problem with one year transfers because you update them with your fall grades, giving them a GPA, but I emailed the admissions office at Cal Poly and they said they don’t do that and that since I hadn’t taken any CC courses before this fall, I’d be applying with no GPA and I won’t get in.</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do? I’d be happy with a UC but Cal Poly is my first choice. I have A’s in all my classes, without too much effort. Would it be possible to just put my anticipated grades on the application just so I can have a GPA? Because apparently no human actually looks at the applications, just a computer. If at the end of November I were 99% sure of the final grade I would be getting, it would be possible just to put those down, right?</p>
<p>My other option include waiting till I get my final grades, then emailing them and asking them to change my “in progress” to the grade; this is the process they use for mistakes on applications.</p>
<p>The other option is to just apply, get rejected, then appeal the decision with updated grades.</p>
<p>Could anyone help me out on this? It’s almost unfair because the only thing limiting me is the fact that I’ve only been in CC for one year. Otherwise, my current stats would be good enough to make me a qualified applicant.</p>
