USD is a wonderful school, and has a good reputation. It is particularly good for business. With your stats you are probably an easy match. It is a beautiful school, great location, really nice student life. I had two cousins graduate from there (both in business) and both made great connections there, and are currently very much excelling in their careers. If they've got a program you are interested in, it is definitely worth a serious look. It is a better school than SDSU IMO(much smaller, more personal attention, much easier to graduate in four years, better location.) Not many students graduate from SDSU in 4 years due to the difficulty of getting your required classes each term. I imagine this will be even worse in the next few years due to budget cuts. UCSD is considered better in many subject areas, and is more prestigious. It might be a reach for you, or a high match. SLO is great, beautiful location, smart students. Depending upon where you are from it could be very out-of-the-way, ie, no large airport for miles--it's a four hour drive from either L.A. or SF. Cal Poly Pomona is in the SMOG. If you like to be active outdoors, that could be a major factor for you. Judging from your list of schools, you may be looking at engineering, in which case you might want to consider LMU in LA, another Catholic university with a small but good engineering program (also great in business, psych, film.) That's another thing to consider--size of school and/or program--SLO has some 4,000 plus engineering majors, SDSU may be similar. LMU and USD have maybe 5-6,000 students total across all majors. Class sizes are small and are taught by professors, not TA's. Good luck, it sounds like you'll have many good possibilities.
