did anyone apply Cal Poly?

<p>My friend just got admitted with 3.2something gpa!!!(civil engineering major)
and another guy I dont know, but I do know his gpa is below 3.5 but got addmitted too!!! **** I should apply cal poly too...i thought it's harder to get in than ucb...</p>

<p>not even close to UCB from what i hear. </p>

<p>My friends say it's the best engineering school after UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCI.</p>

<p>not really...plz check this website..

<p>yidong, ur link is for Computer science not overall engineering. It varies by a lot. I am not engineering major, nor am i an expert on this by an stretch, but i heard UCSD has the best Biomedical engineering program.</p>

<p>So i guess it depends on what ur major is.</p>

<p>i see...
yea u r right, ucsd has the best biochem program
my major is computer science for ucb, computer science and engineering for other UCs..</p>

<p>CP isn't as selective as UCB, for one, you don't submit an essay, ECs/work experience are taken only from 4 multiple-choice questions, and SAT2 scores are pretty much ignored (except for the min. score required to earn course credit or determination of taking placement exams).</p>
