<p>Ahumuda-

  1. What is more selective… Something that accepts 50%, or something that accepts only 30%??? Whats more selective??? One excludes 70%, and the other excludes 50%. Figure it out genius.</p>

<p>Also congrats on having a backup for your backup… Your ■■■■■■■■.</p>

<p>2) I completely disagree with that. </p>

<p>3) I can argue that. Why is there a website completely acknowledging how much of a drain the Isla Vista ghetto is. [The</a> Dark Side Of UCSB](<a href=“http://www.thedarksideofucsb.com/]The”>http://www.thedarksideofucsb.com/) </p>

<p>And your alumni percentage is not factual. Give me a link, im sure that the survey they were given is not centered around Isla Vista.</p>

<p>4) SJSU has a higher alumni salary than UCSB hah, explain why that is? Maybe because UCSB is the Chico State of the UC system. No employer takes UCSB graduates seriously. The reason why Cal Poly grads make so much more than UCSB grads is because they are respected by employers, and are lead into prospective career jobs by their faculty. I personally haven’t even started college yet, and my department head has already sent me personalized emails and information on getting involved in internships and other programs. </p>

<p>CAL POLY>UCSB</p>

<p>Bestindawest: Wow, I was attempting to have at least a mildly calm, factual based argument with you. However, you seem to be incapable of actually thinking. You must feel really good about yourself. I’m gonna go over this one more time for you, because you don’t seem to be understanding.</p>

<p>SDSU might have a lower admissions rate, but that does NOT mean they are more selective. Average GPA/SATs at SDSU: like 3.5/1650. Average at UCSB: 4.0/1870. In addition, at UCSB, it isn’t enough to have just the grades and SAT scores, you need ECs too, unlike at SDSU. </p>

<p>As for having a backup for a backup, UCSB was my backup for UCLA. I didn’t get into UCLA, and UCSB was my second choice. But on the very off chance that I didn’t get into UCSB, I also applied to SDSU (and UCSC). I don’t understand how that makes me ■■■■■■■■. You’re so ridiculously stupid for thinking that.</p>

<p>You don’t give any viable reason for why you “disagree” with my statement about international students. My girlfriend’s sister applied to UC Berkeley from Russia and graduated with a 3.9 in Biomolecular and Plant sciences. Many countries have a much better education system than ours, do some research, instead of just saying you disagree from your own, extremely biased and misinformed opinion.</p>

<p>I’m not gonna argue the part about IV, because it is an extremely biased source, and while it holds some weight, you cannot look at solely one source for information. How can you say my information is isn’t “centered around IV”, ITS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF UCSB. This point is all a matter of opinion, so I can’t argue it as well. If you don’t like IV, you don’t like IV. I do. End of discussion.</p>

<p>And hey, dumbass, know where SJSU is? IN SILICON VALLEY. So guess that means? A huge amount of computer based jobs, most of which are pretty high paying. You are EXTREMELY wrong about why UCSB makes less. We have less than 5% engineers, while Cal Poly has a whopping 23%. Again, engineers make a lot more than most people with a BS/BA. While Cal Poly may be very driven to get people into the working force, UCSB places a heavy emphasis on research. Almost everyone in engineering at UCSB gets their own research opportunities without much effort. </p>

<p>So hey, instead of coming up with ******** arguments about why Cal Poly is better, why can’t you realize that both are GREAT institutions, each with their respective pluses? I’ve thrashed every point you’ve made multiple times, and I had a pretty good impression of Cal Poly until now, because I now realize idiots like you are going there. You have failed to make a coherent argument for any point. Either do so in a way that can actually be discussed in a civilized manner, or get out of this sub-forum.</p>

23

<p>Haha, obviously if you thought my argument was so idiotic you wouldn’t be so riled up dude. Sorry I hurt your feelings about your college :'(</p>

<p>Why didn’t you consider going to Cal Poly for engineering. It has a much better department than UCSB.</p>

<p>BestIndaWest clains he chose Cal Poly SLO over UCB – so just take everything he says with a grain of salt. <a href=“SLO vs UCR - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - College Confidential Forums”>SLO vs UCR - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - College Confidential Forums;

<p>As I said in another post on another thread he reminds me of an obnoxious poster named Ooo or OOps (oe something) who got banned from CC just before BestIndaWest showed up to take his place. BIW specializes in showing in putting down other posters, being unnecessarily argumentative and hanging around college boards he professes to look down upon. Perhaps he is at heart a real UCSB aspirant who could not find his way.</p>

<p>Factually, he is wrong on many fronts. The top two business schools in California are Haas and Marshall at USC (not Orfalea, even though it is a fine school). And SLO is a top ranked school among those offering Masters degree training, which cannot be compared to national Tier 1 Research universities. Apples and oranges.</p>

<p>Recognize BIW for what he is – someone who takes delight in baiting posters on CC.</p>

25

<p>Stop feeding BestIndaWest’s rants - he’s obviously a ■■■■■ that has nothing better to do with his life then start arguments over the internet with nonsensical garbage. Anyone with half a brain can see how flawed his arguments are.</p>

<p>I pity the type of person you must be in real life BestIndaWest that you feel the need to attack other people over the internet because they go to a different institution then you. If SLO is so much “greater” why do you feel the need to flaunt it?</p>

26

<p>Haha @ the link posted above.</p>

<p>The same UCR-praising BestInDaWest is the same UCR-bashing BestInDaWest of this thread?</p>

27

<p>Ynot- Ydont you just look back at what I said about Cal Poly’s Orfalea and UCB’s Haas being the top 2 PUBLIC business schools in CA. </p>

<p>ImInUCSBtrick- Im doing this in all fun to compliment the Cal Poly-UCSB rivalry, so you should stop crying. Learn how to argue my points and then come back.</p>

<p>Good luck even getting a job when you graduate with that delightful attitude of yours! You must have a lot of friends. I mean, it’s so clear that you get off the computer and out of the house often with the amount of time and energy you spend crafting these replies. Oh but, it’s “all in fun”…goes to show how content you are with life! Only if you’re majoring in engineering does SLO even compare to UCSB.</p>

29

<p>Hey why dont you play with my shiny disco balls…</p>

<p>“Only if you’re majoring in engineering does SLO even compare to UCSB.” First off, UCSB engineering is not even comparable to Cal Poly’s.</p>

<p>hmmmmm, also what about:
Architecture? does that compete? Does UCSB even have a architecture dept? Cuz last time I checked, Cal Poly’s department was top 5 in the country.</p>

<p>Business? Does that compete? Wheres UCSB’s business rankings, cuz last I heard…[Cal</a> Poly’s Orfalea College of Business Breaks into Top Tier](<a href=“Press Releases | University Communications and Marketing”>Press Releases | University Communications and Marketing)</p>

<p>Agriculture? Does that compete? Last I looked UCSB didn’t even have a Ag dept…</p>

<p>College of Education? Cal Poly’s College of Education is arguably the best in the state.</p>

<p>CHEERS</p>

30

<p>honestly why would someone post at a forum dedicated to another school and expect any respect while being an instigator.</p>

31

<p>Haha this is funny! I spent 10 minutes filling out an application for Cal Poly SLO and Sac State to get in with everything paid for after seeing my award letters. Ahhhh, if only UC application didn’t take so much time and energy putting together those two essays, all those ECs, grades, test scores, and background information! The only thing from SLO that actually delighted me were the engineering department and the nice letters of acceptance they kept sending me to make sure I attend. Other than that, SLO is totally surrounded by ugly mountains. How totally boring. I’d rather live in IV’s ghetto than be with deers and ****</p>

32

<p>What about any type of liberal arts major? OBVIOUSLY the agriculture and architecture programs are better than UCSB’s nonexistent ones. So in that case the poor student would be forced to go to SLO, or they could apply to berkeley or ucla, both better than slo’s and in a more exciting area. And really? “Cal Poly’s College of Education is arguably the best in the state.” HAH. Are you delusional?</p>
