Cal Poly is best known for it Architecture, Engineering and Agriculture depts. with an up and coming Business dept.. Its academic approach is to "learn by doing" and that is taken very seriously. Here's a pdf that another member of this forum put up that will give you an idea of how you stack up: http://www.ess.calpoly.edu/_admiss/P..._090409pdf.pdf
