@VickiSoCal, it is kind of weird thing with Cal Poly. At the high school where I teach, we had 19 kids accepted to Cal Poly and eight of them were in our top 10 students by GPA. We have two of our teachers (husband and wife, coincidentally) do a great job of selling CP SLO to our kids from our design and technology academy. However, at my son’s high school across town, very few of the top 40 or 50 kids applied to CP. They only had a handful of kids accepted at Cal Poly, but had more than that accepted to Ivy League schools. Clearly, many of them were qualified and simply didn’t apply.
