<p>If you really want to go to Cal Poly, then do it. You have solid chances of getting in either way, but obviously better if you do ED. You have to ask yourself, if I get accepted with early decision, would I be happy that I have to go there or would I wonder about the other schools I could have gone to.</p>

<p>For me, Cal Poly made sense because of the awesome location, relatively cheap in-state tuition and the great academics. Thats why I applied ED.</p>

<p>Just so you know. If you plan to do ED, you have to be done with your testing NOW.</p>
