@scotlandcalling, if you have solid information to the contrary of what I or @AMCdad said, please share. You’ve been openly anti-Cal Poly and that’s ok. It’s important for everyone to know however if they’re are different hurdles (no pun intended if either of your kids are in track :D) for athletes. Personally, I suspect there are because looking at the Common Data Set, they show a handful of SATs that are below the absolute cutoff in the MCA.
Now for full disclosure, I have a student who is an ME at Cal Poly. I know the school pretty well, warts and all. What’s your connection?
