@MidoriGreen Cal Poly rejects many top applicants with high scores. You are probably correct. Parental demographics come into play. If your friend with equal scores has a parent who did not complete high school he/she will be statistcally more likely to attend a Cal State. Cal Poly knows that kids with that particular demographic qualifier produce a higher yield. Therefore he/she will be admitted and you rejected. Cal Poly also tracks Zip Codes and high school which historically produce high yields /low yields.
