@slolearner – Wow, that is really good news. In just one year Cal Poly moved from #62 to #37 jumping twenty five spots up. What really gets me is how the 30 Year ROI went from $542,700 to $1,151,000 in just one year as well. Very funky math, but if they publish it there must be method to the madness. This clearly puts Cal Poly in the top 1/3 of the elite 150 (for both the in-state and out-of-state categories).

Interestingly, it also puts Cal Poly way above USCD in both in-state and out-of-state categories with UCSD at #61 for in-state and #95 for out-of-state. Cal Poly is #37 and #47 respectively. Of even more controversy, UC Berkeley is at #34 with Cal Poly at #37 for in-state with Cal Poly having a higher ROI for full tuition at 9.0% vs 8.3% for UC Berkeley. With financial aid it is UCB at 10.9% and Cal Poly at 10.3%, a near neck and neck tie. Cal Poly beats out UCB decisively for out-of-state ranked at #47 with UCB at #52.

So, in just one year, Cal Poly rose to be 7th of all schools both public and private in California and 2nd for public schools in a near dead heat with UCB.

Interesting…
