The school is one of the 23 universities that make up the California State University system, and it frequently ranks as one of the country's top undergraduate engineering colleges. Cal Poly Pomona is made up of eight academic colleges with business and engineering being the most popular programs among undergraduates.

With over 280 clubs and organizations, students at Cal Poly Pomona are highly engaged in campus life. In athletics, the Broncos compete at the NCAA Division II level in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

Considering applying to Cal Poly Pomona? Here are the admissions statistics you should know, including average SAT/ACT scores and GPAs of admitted students.

Acceptance Rate

During the 2017-18 admissions cycle, Cal Poly Pomona had an acceptance rate of 55%. This means that for every 100 students who applied, 55 students were admitted, making Cal Poly Pomona's admissions process somewhat competitive.

SAT Scores and Requirements

Cal Poly Pomona requires that all applicants submit either SAT or ACT scores. During the 2017-18 admissions cycle, 91% of admitted students submitted SAT scores.

ERW=Evidence-Based Reading and Writing

The admissions data collected by the CollegeBoard tells us that most of Cal Poly Pomona's admitted students fall within the top 35% nationally on the SAT. For the evidence-based reading and writing section, 50% of students admitted to Cal Poly Pomona scored between 510 and 620, while 25% scored below 510 and 25% scored above 620. On the math section, 50% of admitted students scored between 510 and 640, while 25% scored below 510 and 25% scored above 640. Applicants with a composite SAT score of 1260 or higher will have particularly competitive chances at Cal Poly Pomona.

Requirements

Cal Poly Pomona does not require the SAT writing section. Note that Cal Poly Pomona will consider your highest score from each individual section across all SAT test dates. SAT Subject test scores are not required, but if the score meets a benchmark, it may be used to fulfill certain core course requirements.

ACT Scores and Requirements

Cal Poly Pomona requires that all applicants submit either SAT or ACT scores. During the 2017-18 admissions cycle, 25% of admitted students submitted ACT scores.

The admissions data collected by The ACT Test tells us that most of Cal Poly Pomona's admitted students fall within the top 45% nationally on the ACT.

Self-Reported GPA/SAT/ACT Graph

Admissions Chances

Cal Poly Pomona, which accepts over half of applicants, has a somewhat selective admissions process. In the graph above, the green and blue dots represent accepted students. The majority of students who got in had GPAs of 3.0 or higher, SAT scores (ERW+M) of 1000 or higher, and ACT scores of 20 or higher. However, note that there are some red dots (rejected students) hidden behind the blue and green. Some students with grades and test scores on target for Cal Poly Pomona still get rejected.

What makes the difference between an acceptance and a rejection? Unlike the University of California System, the California State University admission process is not holistic. Except for EOP (Educational Opportunity Program) students, applicants do not need to submit letters of recommendation or an application essay, and extracurricular involvement is not part of the standard application. Instead admissions is based primarily on GPA and test scores. Minimum high school course requirements include two years of history and social science, four years of college prep English, three years of math, two years of laboratory science, one year of visual or performing arts, and one year of a college preparatory elective. The reasons why an applicant with adequate scores and grades would be rejected tends to come down to factors such as insufficient college preparatory classes, high school classes that weren't challenging, or an incomplete application.

Be aware that California State Polytechnic University, Pomona designates some majors as impacted because they receive more applications than can be accommodated. For those majors, there may be additional criteria that must be met for eligibility. Cal Poly Pomona recommends that you meet with an admission counselor to help you select a major and understand the admission process and requirements during high school. They can help you map out the best courses to take to fulfill the admissions requirements. Your school's career center or college guidance office can find out when they may be visiting your area, or you can meet with them at Cal Poly Pomona.

The only downside to going to Cal Poly Pomona is that, well, you're in Pomona. Inland Empire can get pretty boring as a college student, so keep reading for 10 free things to do around Cal Poly Pomona. From the LA fair, to the Broad Museum, there is plenty to keep you entertained without touching your wallet!

1. Go to the Downtown Pomona Art Walk!

Each second Saturday of the month, downtown Pomona holds a free Art Walk! Galleries from local artists are displayed, there's a farmer's market, live music, and many of the shops are open late! If you happen to miss the Art Walk, come to downtown Pomona any day to browse through the various vintage stores on Antique Row, bars, and restaurants.

2. Explore Claremont Village.

Let's be honest, Pomona isn't the ideal "college town." However, Claremont is pretty close! Filled with shops, trendy eateries, and a super cool record store, Cal Poly students are claiming Claremont for themselves! Visit the packing house for food or walk around outdoors and check out the many shops Claremont has to offer.

3. Sunday Horse Shows!

If you are stuck on campus for the weekend, be sure to check out Cal Poly Pomona's own Horse Show! The show features the famous Cal Poly Equestrian Team at the W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center on the first Sunday of the month. Students get in free with their Bronco ID.

4. Rock climb at the BRIC.

No car? No worries! The newly-built Bronco Recreation & Intramural Complex is not just the campus gym, but also home of the Bronco Peak, an indoor rock wall. Membership is included in tuition, so it's basically free (a.k.a. your parents are paying for it.) The BRIC has much to offer including a suspended indoor track, basketball courts, an Olympic-sized pool, and more. They also offer free classes and workshops EVERY DAY. Avoid the freshman 15 with this one!

5. Browse the Cal Poly Pomona Farm Store at Kellogg Ranch.

You guys, the College of Agriculture is pretty lit. CPP has its very own Farm Store market across from campus where anyone can buy produce such as fresh-squeezed orange juice or an organic snack. They accept Bronco Bucks, too! The Farm Store also hosts the popular Pumpkin Festival each October, and admission is free to Cal Poly students. Various free activities such as grape harvesting are put on by the Agriculture department, so be sure to check their calendar for a list of events!

6. Go to the LA Fair in Pomona!

It only happens once a year (unfortunately), but the LA Fair is held in our very own Pomona! Take a look at farm animals and dozens of exhibits each September. The admission is usually $10 to $20, but they have a day that is free to Cal Poly Pomona students toward the end of the fair dates.

7. Window shop at Chino Hills.

There are several malls around Pomona, but Chino Hills has by far one of the cutest! Enjoy an outdoor mall, illuminated with string lights by night. The Shoppes also holds a farmer's market every Wednesday at 4pm year-round.

8. Explore Downtown Disney District!

Located in the city of Anaheim, Downtown Disney is fun both for California natives and out-of-staters. Parking is free for 2 hours, which is a little longer than the time it takes to walk around the Downtown Disney shops.

9. Visit the Broad Museum in Downtown LA.

It's easy to forget that Pomona is part of LA county, but take advantage of it! Los Angeles is full of free and low-cost attractions, just a drive on the I-10 away! The Broad is an art museum with free admission. You just have to wait in line, so get there early.

10. View the stars from the Griffith Observatory in LA.

It's hard to see the stars from within the San Gabriel Valley, so take a nighttime trip to the Griffith! You can see the Hollywood sign from the Observatory during the day, and all the constellations at night. Parking and admission are free.
