FORUM CHAMPION NOTE:
This is a Cal Poly SLO discussion thread and I posted information that another poster had asked out earlier in this discussion. I did not plan to make this information a subject for debate. Can we move on about how Texas schools (UT in particular) vs. other state schools admit students. Thank you.
Bottom line is that SLO does prioritize in-state students. The issue is that there are more qualified students than spots available = Impaction. Admit rates alone do not show the whole picture when it comes admission decisions.
