Here are the last 5 least competitive majors for freshman applicants at Cal Poly in 2024-25 (based on % of seats available vs. applicants): 6️⃣ Plant Sciences – 23.8%
 7️⃣ Agricultural Science – 23%
 8️⃣ Food Science – 22%
 9️⃣ City & Regional Planning – 21.8%
 🔟 Dairy Science – 21.4% What does this mean? 
While these majors were the least competitive, that does not mean they were easy to get into. For example, only 29.7% of applicants were accepted into the least competitive major! The College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Science was the most accessible overall, with the highest acceptance rates for both freshmen and transfer students. Most Competitive Major: Psychology topped the list of most competitive majors for freshmen this year with room for less than 3% of applicants. 🎯 Tip for Applicants:
 Choose a major you’re genuinely interested in — not just one with a higher acceptance rate. Cal Poly admits by major and by college, and switching majors (especially between colleges) is not guaranteed. Some of the most competitive majors (like Psychology or Public Health) have limited availability even after you enroll. Instead of trying to game the system, apply to the program that aligns with your passions, strengths, and long-term goals. A strong, authentic application to the right-fit major will always be more powerful than trying to squeeze through a backdoor. ⭐️ If you kicking off the college admissions process, comment GUIDE and I will send you a a link for my Ultimate College Admissions Guide with everything you need to know about applying to college, what goes into admissions decisions and how to stand out!. 💫 Follow @thecollegenavigators for tips and advice for college admissions planning! #collegeadmissions #classof2025 #classof2029 #calpoly #collegemajors
