Ok, so I got in to both, and now I have no idea what to choose! I am from North California, so I feel I’d like to stay in Cali, but on the other hand Wash U has such a beautiful campus and is such a highly-ranked, well-rounded school. I am pretty sure I want to major in architecture, 98% sure, and Cal Poly’s program is very well-ranked, but Wash U’s program is unranked because it is a 4 + 2 program and their graduate program, which is ranked, is high up there. So, I would get a good education in both… but I feel the social atmosophere would be very different at each one, and the opportunities I get might be very different as well. If anyone knows anything about either school (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Washington University in St. Louis), has been to college and knows if any of my concerns (meeting smart, well-rounded people, beautiful campus, close to home) are valid, or have any opinion whatsoever please let me know. Kthanks! :)
