<p>werty, I don’t know much about the other schools, but Cal Poly is nothing to sneeze at. If my daughter doesn’t get a decent financial aid package from USC or if she just doesn’t feel she wants to attend for some reason, she’ll be at Cal Poly! I feel comfortable with both schools for her. Yes, USC definitely offers more diversity, football spirit, gorgeous campus/buildings and a certain amount of prestige. But, again, I know a lot of people who absolutely love Cal Poly and alums who are working in satisfying and lucrative careers as a result of their schooling at CPSLO.</p>
<p>Best wishes to you where ever you end up! </p>

<p>Thanks to all of you. I’m turning my sights to Cal Poly, CU Colorado (Business honors program and $$) and Santa Clara - all B-schools.</p>
<p>I may appeal; not sure. I am too drained emotionally to think about it at the moment. But, at least I can move on now***</p>
