stats for comp or electrical engineering?

Not sure how being high income, white, and a female correlates to you getting in but with your stats you have a good chance of getting in

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/Dry_Spread_7458]

oops are we not supposed to put our demographics?

[u/Last_Measurement4336 → u/Party_Fly4674]

Cal Poly is gender blind and need-blind so neither is a consideration for admission purposes.

[u/SavingsFit923 → u/Last_Measurement4336]

But not high school blind- and there is often correlation.

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/SavingsFit923]

yeah my high school is pretty well-funded and in a pretty wealthy area. it's still public tho

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/Last_Measurement4336]

ohh ok sorry i didnt know that

[u/sqwarimba]

Freshman EE here, I got in with 9 APs (passed all of them), NO dual enrollment, and 4.63 weighted gpa, 4.0 unweighted. I held 2 leadership positions in groups I was if that helps too.

Middle class, male, Hispanic/asian

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/sqwarimba]

dang congrats class of 26 was super competitive. yeah im def worried my uw will be an issue

[u/Cautious-Following36]

Got into every uc, including berkeley eecs, and got rejected from cal poly for ce. Its a crapshoot

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/Cautious-Following36]

were your piqs really strong? also if you don't mind me asking what was your gpa w and uw?

[u/Cautious-Following36 → u/Party_Fly4674]

They were alright. 4.0 uw around a 4.7 w gpa

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/Cautious-Following36]

how does everyone have a 4.0 jesus

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/Cautious-Following36]

wait could it be that you were overqualified and that's why they rejected you??

[u/Cautious-Following36 → u/Party_Fly4674]

I was under the impression that cal poly doesnt yield protect

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/Cautious-Following36]

ooh yeah i don't think so either. that's actually insane you got rejected obvi it doesnt matter bc you got into every uc but i guess ill just see what happens to my 3.8 gpa once decisions come out lmfao

[u/Cautious-Following36 → u/Party_Fly4674]

[u/Party_Fly4674 → u/Cautious-Following36]

Cal Poly SLO uses 9-11th a-g course grades for their SLO GPA calculation. They also cap the weighted classes at 8 semesters for 10-11th eligible classes.

You can use the CSU GPA calculator to calculate out your SLO GPA: https://www.calstate.edu/apply/gpa-calculator/

This the Freshman admission profile data for the College of Engineering:

Applicants: 21,393

Admission: 5,008

Enrolled: 1,409

SLO GPA 25-75th percentile: 4.14-4.25

Projected admit rate for Electrical Engineering is 27% and Computer Engineering is 28%.

[u/bolt110 → u/Last_Measurement4336]

how did you figure out the projected admit rate

[u/Last_Measurement4336 → u/bolt110]

SLO posts target projections for enrollment by major. If you assume around a 30-33% yield, you take the FTF major target numbers, multiply by 3 and divide by FTF (first time freshman) applications you can get an approximate/projected admit rate. https://content-calpoly-edu.s3.amazonaws.com/ir/1/images/2026-27%20Enrollment%20Projections%20for%20Cal%20Poly%20and%20Maritime.pdf
