<p>Cal Poly SLO is good; you should not feel like you are getting a sub-par education there, at least for engineering. Note: if you applied for engineering at the UCs, be aware that engineering tends to be significantly more selective than overall at the UCs, although if you got rejected with a 3.9 GPA and 2070 SAT from UCSC, that seems strange.</p>
