Anyone have the tea on Cal Poly Pomona's acceptance rate? I'm starting to stress on college admissions and just wondering what to expect there. Thanks in advance!
Cal Poly Pomona is a moderately selective public university. As of the most recent data available from its admissions office, the acceptance rate was approximately 55%. This means that for every 100 applications, 55 are accepted. However, this doesn't tell the whole story. Specific majors can be more competitive than others often having lower acceptance rates due to the high volume of applicants.
Remember, for the Cal State schools including Cal Poly Pomona, the admissions process is primarily academic-focused. In order to maximize your chances, you should ensure that your academic profile (GPA and course rigor) aligns with the averages for admitted students. Also keep in mind, Cal Poly Pomona is test-blind, meaning it doesn't consider SAT or ACT scores at all.
Given these factors, while the overall acceptance rate might seem encouraging, the actual competitiveness could depend significantly on your intended major and academic achievement. Preparing a strong application that showcases your academic abilities is key.
