U.S. News & World Report describes Cal Poly Pomona's admissions process as "less selective". The CSU system lists Cal Poly Pomona among 16 of its institutions with higher admission standards for first-time freshmen. For the Fall of 2012 there were 28,143 first-time, first year applicants: 14,685 were admitted (52.2%) and 3,120 enrolled (an admissions yield of 21.2%). The middle 50% range of SAT scores was 450-570 for reading and 490–620 for math, while the middle 50% ACT Composite range was 20-26. Of the enrolled freshmen, 20.2% had a high school GPA of 3.75 or higher, while the average GPA was 3.41.
Freshmen applicants who graduate high school outside Cal Poly Pomona's Tier 1 area (known as Tier 2 applicants) are rank ordered by eligibility index and granted admission based on a year-specific cutoff score. Since academic year 2010–2011, Tier 1 applicants may no longer be guaranteed admissions based on the CSU Eligibility Index and may be subject to similar criteria as Tier 2 applicants.
