<p>Regarding starting salary at Cal Poly, I actually expected Cal to absolutely pummel Cal Poly’s starting salary regardless of Cal’s major mix. Just as I expected Stanford, Amherst, and HYMPS, to unequivocally outperform Cal’s starting salary, even when many of the aforementioned schools are largely LACs with little technical majors. </p>
<p>Given Cal’s august reputation, it should never have been a close contest between Cal and Cal Poly on starting salary, regardless of majors. Alas, it saddens me to think the state’s budget cut is really chipping away at Cal’s market competitiveness. I have a great deal of love and respect for Berkeley.</p>
