<p>Can anyone tell me if I have a better chance of acceptance to cal poly engineering because I am a woman?</p>
<p>I cannot say this definitively, but I don’t think so. Poly uses a completely objective algorithm and it doesn’t give any additional points for gender.</p>
<p>Thanks @eyemgh</p>
<p>Hi, in 1996 California voters approved Proposition 209 an initiative that made California the first state to ban the use of race, gender, and ethnicity in public university admissions.</p>
