How to convince parents that cal poly slo is a good school?

That’s an interesting point. I’ve had this conversation with my son regarding the uphill battle CP faces with increasing their diversity. When more than just white people started going to college in larger numbers, they typically went to the schools closest to where they lived. SLO County was pretty homogeniously white. It’s set up a Catch 22, very few minorities go there, because very few minorities went there. I think with Asians, there’s an additional barrier, and that’s the heavy dependence on the affirmation of rankings.
