<p>Hey, i got introduced to this website by a friend a searched the forum about Cal Poly Pomona to UC, and I can't find any.
I'm hoping that you friendly professionals out there could give me some advise, and see what my chances are.</p>
<p>I'm starting my second year at Cal Poly Pomona.
Taking Summer currently.</p>
<p>Major: Business Administration : Human Resource
GPA: F**K Me 3.2-3.4.
Units: i'll compelete around 80-90units by the end of second yr.
ECs: Average 4 hr/week, around 100hrs by end of second yr. Secredary of a school organization. 2 clubs. Few campus program completed. few awards.</p>
<p>Hoping to Transfer to:
UC Irvine. </p>
<p>The reason is that I did researches and realized that my chances to UCLA, UCB, and UCSD is not that high. The schools thats got programs in Business or Econ that i'm hoping to attend in just those 3. USC is out my capability due to all the fees.</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona is a good school for Business, better than UCLA.
but UC Irvine is somewhat high ranked for Its econ and business program. so.</p>
<p>yeah.
Please offer me some advise on what else i should do or what my chances are. thank you guys.</p>
<p>PS: I've to apply during the Fall of 07 if i want to start fall of 08 right? is it better if apply for winter? do i have a better chance?</p>
<p>I look at the majors for UCLA, and many of my friends go to UCLA.
UCLA is known for its Science, Med, Engineering, and Literature Majors.
it does have a Business Econ major. UCLA wrote in its own newspaper that employer prefer Poly student than UCLA student in most business field.</p>
<p>Cal Poly has specific business major divided into 6 or 7 branches.
therefore from my opinion, and in my opinion i think its better than UCLA.</p>
<p>and Thanks for the Advise. I appreciate it =]</p>
<p>cal poly pomona business is better than the anderson school of business at UCLA? this is easily the most ridiculous remark i have seen in many years of reviewing posts on this board.</p>
<p>UCLA business is world class, such that many experts place it in the nation's top dozen. cal poly pomona business is, in the view of its own students, in a "free fall." the college has lost 65 of its 118 full time faculty and staff in the past 22 months, including more than a half dozen key faculty in your major of management, which once boasted having a ph.d. from both harvard and yale. both of those professors resigned along with dozens of others. now cal poly pomona is proposing folding those "6 or 7 branches" as you put it into two divsions in order to cut majors and save money. you might want to check out <a href="http://www.studentsreview.com%5B/url%5D">www.studentsreview.com</a> to see what students say about cal poly pomona business. it's horrifying. they don't even have enough chairs for students to sit in. and just this year alone more than twenty faculty have left and only ten are replacing them.</p>
<p>you might want to peruse the web pages of UCLA business to check out inferior that program is to cal poly pomona. then check out the CPP web site. after you do that then write an updated view of what you have seen.</p>
<p>maybe that's the REAL reason why so many faculty are leaving cal poly pomona. the students there are so illiterate that faculty can't tolerate it any more!</p>
<p>imagine the horror in the eyes of the UCI professor who reads grammar like this!</p>
<p>the posts about most programs are fairly consistent. but something really bad is happening on the CPP campus.</p>
<p>DOnutz- FYI, drj is a business prof who has taught at a few different CA universities. I'd listen to what he has to say. Also, UCLA has a top notch business program from everything I've heard.</p>
<p>I wonder if you may answer a question of mine.
I attend Cal Poly Pomona, but it was not necessarily out of choice. I hadn't a college to go to (due to a personal incident), and managed to gain entrance into the school. Unfortunately, it does not meet my needs. </p>
<p>And I have been noticing the deplorable state of most departments and resources... Do you know any stats about the resignations of faculty beyond the College of Business (as I'm not a business major)? I am considering transfering to another school, and though I suspect that faculty retention rates are low and lacking, I would like to find them documented in a more concrete form somewhere (you know other than in my gut, lol). I am very interested in this issue. Do you know where I should look?
Thank you very much,
golden_vein.</p>
<p>P.S. not everyone at Cal Poly is illiterate...at least I think/hope they are not...</p>
<p>since i'm a business professor with colleagues on many campuses i have access to that data from them. the office of the academic vice president/provost would have an accurate count if willing to release that information, which is unlikely. what unversities usually do is crow heavily about all the new hires but say nothing about all the losses. i am told that there is a mass exodus on the pomona campus, far worse than normal and to include the provost himself, and the number of faculty leaving exceeds one hundred.</p>
<p>on your second point i have taught at several cal states and students for the most part are pretty good and much hungrier, willing to work, than those at privates who demand service.</p>
