Selection for Construction Management

This major accepts freshman applications for the Fall Quarter only.
 

Freshman applicants compete to be selected only against other freshman applicants applying for the same major through a point-based evaluation of three academic categories and one non-academic category. The four categories are weighted differently for different colleges/majors and combine to provide a final result used in conjunction with other applicants applying for that major.

>> Section one - College prep GPA
  Calculated by Cal Poly for 9th -11th grade coursework designated on the application (with honors points granted for courses designated as "honors" on a high school transcript, for up to eight semesters.)
>> Section two - CSU required coursework taken during 9th to 11th grades, and in progress or planned during 12th grade.

>> Section four - Work experience and extra-curricular activity participation
  This information is taken from only four questions
1. Average number of hours worked per week over the most recent 12 months?
2.

Was more than 25% of your work related to your Cal Poly choice of major? (yes or no)

3. Average number of hours per week involved in community service, arts, clubs, and other extra-curricular activities during the last 12 months?
4. Do you hold or have you held any leadership positions in the activities from question #3 (examples include Senior Class President, Yearbook Editor, etc.)?


This is the only information taken concerning extra-curricular activities and work experience. Personal essays, letters of recommendation, and statements of purpose are not used during the admissions selection process.

The information for all four sections comes from the supplemental information obtained by the CSUMentor online application.

All information is subject to change without prior notice.
