I agree with JamesMadison that UCLA name recognition is bigger than Cal Poly’s nationally. I think name recognition wise even people in Podung USA will have heard of UCLA.

But once you get to East Coast like NYC and Boston, the name is just meh or okay. You have to remember that East Coast is the backyard of all the Ivies (Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Yale, Cornell etc), MIT, and all the Little Ivies (Amherst, Colby, etc).

Let’s just say UCLA name won’t necessarily get you into a Wall street job, not that Cal Poly can either.

So I guess everyone is stuck in the same boat compare to the likes of HYPMS…:)
