I would say Cal Poly is comparable in some ways to the mid-tier UCs (SB, D, I), but it still lacks many of the top programs, award-winning faculty, etc. On top of that, it’s easier to get into, as it’s still a Cal State that goes mostly on numbers (the UCs have closer to a holistic process – with essays, etc.). UCs are much, much more prestigious than Cal States, which in part holds back Cal Poly from growing in more national prestige.

Anyway, I second UCSC. Beautiful school, awesome location, great academics… and there are redwoods! Woohoo!
