Specifically engineering if you can find it. I can find the overall acceptance rate for the university, but I'll take everything you can find, engineering or not. Thanks for the help and best of luck for admissions.

Isn't Cal Poly the toughest CSU to get into? I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it sure is competitive...

Cal Poly has a 47% acceptance rate and San Diego State has a 44% acceptance rate

^ That doesn't mean it's better. All depends on the applicant pool.

True, those are just the numbers. From what I hear people say it is the hardest to get into and is seen as a really good school. But I have also heard that even though its a good school people do look down on it as it is still a cal state school.

Qman02

as far as engineering goes, it was rated one of the top public engineering schools in the country... i think it is in a similar position with architecture (and ag?)

trust me, sdsu is not a great school. the average gpa to get in is mid to low 3.0.s, compared to cal poly's high 3.0s. its engineering school is nothing compared to slo.

architecture program is 4th in nation.
