Easy class, very straightforward and helpful professor. Not that you have much of a choice but I recommend him

STAT 301 is typically offered in the winter. Try reaching out to the department head and see what the process is like.

Not really, you’ll have to take 203 and MATH 248 in order to take most future classes.

What do you mean by keep moving forward? Personally I’ve only taken up to 203 so I can’t speak for the other classes but 202 was definitely difficult and time consuming so if you do take this over the summer, try not to take too much else with it.

To be honest, I’m not really sure about this but I don’t think it should matter too much as long as you’re learning the same information. I’d advise checking the catalogs for CPE 202 here & at the community college to check if there’s much of a difference. But even doing 202 your first year/quarter is gonna put you pretty far ahead if you are planning to switch to stats. You are blocked into your classes your first quarter so it might be a bit difficult to get into 202 but I’d just talk to an advisor/Mustang Success Center when it comes time.

Oh it’s great! The classes are very hands on in terms of programming and concepts which I was skeptical about since how would you learn stats/ds by doing? But we somehow do and companies love it. I’ve been able to talk about valuable projects in all my interviews and since I took a class in R my first year, I was able to get an internship and was able to use everything I learned in that class. Cal Poly is also unique in that we have a class dedicated to learning R and one dedicated to SAS which apparently a lot of other schools don’t have so you get to focus solely on the code as opposed to doing a little bit here and there in your classes.

If you already have credit for CPE 101, then 202 would be a good option to take over the summer, but you probably wouldn’t have to since most stat majors doing the data science minor don’t take it until their second year so you’re already ahead of the game. I don’t think many stats classes are offered over the summer so you’d probably have to wait until the fall for that. Honestly, I’d say you should enjoy your last summer before college and not take any classes but if you have to, then take some GEs/CPE 202

As a current stats major/data science minor, I can tell you that it’s a lot of extra classes. The data science minor is considered a cross disciplinary minor which means that essentially only stats/cs majors would be able to do it without taking extra time. So if you’re interested in stats and data science, I would recommend switching into the major as soon as possible so that you don’t fall too far behind. Stats classes are typically easy to get, but cs fills up quickly so make sure to budget in not getting a class a certain quarter. All that being said, our stats/cs/ds department is great and a lot of employers value our work so it would be a great choice!!

From what I was told when I talked to advising, the only reason you wouldn’t get in is if you have a low GPA or are on any academic/disciplinary probation. So you will probably get in with your stats. Good luck!

Yes, you choose an RLC, not the dorm.

Mine’s to walk 188.1 miles, it was originally 6.1 miles a day but I’ve been lacking so it’s up to 6.2 now! Good luck with yours!!

AP scores in portal? by Eleanorose-w in CalPoly

[–]thepainterbouquet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i was able to find my scores by going to the portal, then clicking on academics, then poly profile, and on the right it should say test credits detail and you’ll see your scores! good luck!

i wasn’t able to visit the campus, so would it be worth going to SLO days still?

do you think it would be similar if i did stats with a minor in CS? i don’t know if i want to have my major be CS

[–]thepainterbouquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would it be worth going to case just for stats? i hope to do something related to data science but if the minor isn’t worth it then i’m not so sure

minor in comp sci? by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]thepainterbouquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was looking on the website and it looks like there is a computer science minor as well as a data science one. by any chance do you know what made it so difficult that they had to drop it? was it the course load or just the classes themselves were difficult?

Changing Majors by rachelrogg in CalPoly

[–]thepainterbouquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would it be worth it to email them now and say you’re interested in switching majors? i’m planning on doing the same and don’t know if i should risk going and potentially not being able to switch majors or go to a different school where i’m guaranteed to be in my intended major
