Hey guys! Cal Poly is my dream school. I would like to know how competitive the acceptance rate is, to help me better prepare. Can anyone help out with this info?
Absolutely! According to the most recent data available, the acceptance rate at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) is roughly 30%. Of course, keep in mind that this rate can vary year to year and might differ based on the specific major or program you're interested in. Some programs may be more competitive than others. It's always a good idea to look beyond just the acceptance rate, too. Look at the average GPA and SAT/ACT scores of admitted students as well to get a better idea of what they're looking for. Preparation-wise, make sure you're emphasizing your academics as well as your involvement in extracurricular activities and any significant accomplishments. Good luck!
