<p>So I got accepted to both under a business major.</p>
<p>Right now I am 99% leaning on Cal Poly SLO. </p>
<p>Cal Poly SLO is ranked 2nd out of all public business schools in California only under Berkeley by BusinessWeek and is ranked 64th nationally. SDSU didn’t even make the top 100.</p>
<p>(Cal Poly is on the 2nd page - SDSU did not make the list - This ranking came out a couple days ago…)</p>
<p>Also, Cal Poly has a better reputation and is harder to get into.</p>
<p>In addition, I prefer the Cal Poly outdoorsy, relaxed, residential, college town campus to SDSU’s over party school environment. I believe there’s smarter kids at Cal Poly aswell.</p>
<p>So, I’m 99% sure Cal Poly is where I’m going. BUT, I heard that SDSU had a great business program. I’m guessing it’s third to Berk and SLO? But, how good is SDSU at business? Should I reconsider, or is Cal Poly definitely the way to go?</p>
<p>I would go with SDSU if you are not a party person. San Diego is a better city and in term of internships with major business firms, SD is more convinient. If you want to concentrate on studying, and want to live in a rural area, San Luis is a good place for studying</p>
<p>SLO_pop:Yeah, that was what I originally thought. I applied to two Cal States, SLO as my main, and SDSU as my backup. I got into both. I’m 99% sure on SLO, but I read on another thread someone who thought SDSU bus was better than SLO’s. While I’m pretty sure SLO is much better, just wanted to make sure.</p>
<p>compaq: I heard Cal Poly kid’s get jobs in So Cal as well as Nor Cal and are highly thought of. Also, I like the Cal Poly environment more. It seemed that SDSU was all dumb bimbos parting, while Cal Poly had a bunch of chill and smarter people in a sweet outdoorsy college town where there are tons of social options and lots of partying too if that was your thing…</p>
<p>That’s easy… Cal Poly. Unless you have some other reason to want to go to sdsu like the city, weather, friends or something. But based on program and reputation, Cal Poly.</p>
<p>Both have a solid business program. CalPoly has a better reputation since it’s more selective. SDSU has a larger business program and more convienient access to employers in case you want some part-time job/internship.</p>
<p>Even better, Cal Poly’s bus. rankings and reputation have been on an up swing for the past few years (as long as I’ve been following it); something I like to see.</p>
<p>compaq10; Has SDSU undergone some kind of transformation? It used to be one hell of a party school! Has something happened?</p>
<p>Both would be good choices. Both a reputable in business with Poly having the stronger student body. I’d have to say though that there is definitely a party atmosphere at Poly, though not as strong as SDSU.</p>
<p>wow, you got into both ?
can i ask you what your gpa and your sat scores were ?
cause i want to go to both too, but im not too sure if i can get in</p>
<p>Cal Poly has the Green Light Business Program where you can start takng B classes your freshman year. </p>
<p>Qualifying Math Scores:
A score of 600 or above on the mathematics section of the COLLEGE Board SAT I Reasoning Test Level I, IC (Calculator), II, or IIC (CALCULATOR)
A score of 30 or above on the American COLLEGE Testing Mathematics Test
A score of 3 or above on the College Board Advanced Placement Mathematics examination (AB or BC) or Statistics examination.</p>
<p>You can still take upper division Businesses courses during your freshman year without participating in Green Light. Unlike business schools at other universities which require students to complete ALL lower division coursework prior to enrolling in upper division courses, Poly’s B school has no such requirements. Consequently, it’s fairly common to have classes with a good mix of freshman/sophomores with juniors/seniors. </p>
<p>For example, when I took Bus 404 (a senior level course), there were about 12 freshman/sophomores in the class. This was possible because the prerequisites for Bus 404 were simply Bus 207 and Econ 222 (both lower division courses that can be taken during freshman year).</p>
