Admission Stats VS UCR

<p>Well, here are your statements:</p>

<p>“By the way, Cal Poly Pomona has for the first time surpassed UCR in SAT scores!!”</p>

<p>“I think we need to chill out a bit here. This thread started by mentioning one innocuous statistic, and not a claim that one school was better than the other.”</p>

<p>“I think that it’s a significant milestone for CPP considering that it only took two years of ramped up admissions standards to catch up to UCR (in just one regard).”</p>

<p>So in the end, you actually wanted to claim that CPP is better than UCR based on admissions standards… how innocuous indeed lol</p>

<p>anyways, in the end, it’s really not gonna matter whether one school is better than another at a certain program. It’s all about individual’s performance. Graduates get a certain kind of job/salary because of a whole host of attributes. Attributes such as level of mastery of their field of studies, GPA, communication skills, maturity, and resourcefulness in job seeking, to name a few. The prestige of a school and its program is the last factor of the resume that employers view. If you attend CPP for architecture but barely graduate with a 2.0 GPA, I am pretty certain your job opportunities will narrow down and the jobs that you want will be handed to a 3.0 GPA students who attended a not-so-good school for architecture. Worse yet, if you don’t graduate then you got a even bigger problem (students failing to graduate is very common). That’s why I said go study and stop posting those useless stats.</p>
