@pshiao, first, congrats to him. Now, to understand why. CP for CS is more competitive than the schools he was accepted to. Only UCB and UCLA rival Cal Poly for acceptance rate for CS and they are holistic and not purely algorithm driven like Cal Poly is, so they have a little more randomness associated with essays and the such. According to their internal planning documents in their institutional research documents, CP was expecting to accept under 6% of applicants to CS. That’s on par with Stanford. As for the others ranking higher, they don’t. They don’t rank together. Cal Poly does not grant doctorates, so USNWR doesn’t rank it with the rest. USNWR doesn’t rank CS for non-doctoral programs, but it does rank Computer Engineering. Cal Poly is currently #1.

@Engl-E, demonstrated interest in any form has no impact on Cal Poly admissions.
