Getting In…
 Cal
Poly's admissions process is highly
selective.
 For fall 2010, Cal Poly accepted 10,918
freshman applicants out of a total 33,626
freshman applicants, yielding a 32%
freshman acceptance rate.
 Accepted freshman applicants had an
average high school GPA of 3.90
Declare a Major!

Cal Poly requires students to declare a major
when applying for admission, and the university
then admits the most competitive applicants
within each major.
 Because of this, certain Cal Poly majors set
higher admission standards than do other
majors. To prevent students from applying for an
easy-to-get-into major and transferring to
another major, Cal Poly makes it difficult to
change majors.
