<p>UCR adopted the supplemental process called “Comprehensive Reiview” in 2005, not this year. Besides, UC eligibility does not deem a 3.0 wih a 400 SAT automatically eligible for admissions as does the CSU index. As I mentioned, CPP has progressively freed itself from the shackles of the CSU mission the past few years, but still is bound to it for applicants to non-impacted majors from schools within a 10 mile radius. A growing university and a shrinking budget should allow them to finally rid themselves of this handicap in the coming years. </p>
<p>Yes, we’d both rather hope that both schools make it through this crisis and improve equally.</p>
<p>Well, UC and CSU carry with themselves different core values and missions. I am sure, just as you mentioned, there are contraints which Pomona has to abide to, but just the same as for UCR. </p>
<p>Comprehensive review is just a hollistic approach of evaluating student application. We don’t focus on one criteria, we assess application as a whole and make our decision. This, however, does not mean UCR hasn’t been offering admission to every UC-eligible students. </p>
<p>Your logic that less funding means higher standard is flaw. You can’t be better by being miserable. The budget cut affects not only the admission but the faculty and staff as well. You can’t “surpass” a university based on admission stats alone, which seems to be all you care now.</p>
<p>It’s not all I care about, but was the topic of our interaction. Now that you’ve been caught fudging the facts, you’d like to change to topic of the conversation.</p>
<p>Who has been caught fudging the facts? If anyone, it’s YOU! </p>
<p>Yes, we can stay with admission stats if you want. But let’s talk about staying on topic for a seond. </p>
<p>This thread started as a comparison between UCR and Pomona, it didn’t specify to admission stats only. Now, you want to narrow it down to admisstion stats, and I’ve done my fair share of responding and in many ways, proven that you were wrong with ur facts. I am asking you to back it out and take a broader view of both universities, but now you accuse me of changing topic? Are you pathetic?</p>
<p>I think every school has its purpose and no one should look down on those who may come from a ‘reject, ’ low-ranked,’ or whatever you want to call it school. On this forum, I think both UCR and CPP are not highly regarded because you guys gotta admit, it is pretty easy to get in. </p>
<p>I, however, believe that UCR carries more prestige than CPP and most of the CSUs for that matter. I also believe that being a UC will enable UCR to get the funding it needs to be a top University among its brothers in the next 10-15 years.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, employers don’t treat USNEWS rankings like the bible like some of you suggest. Unless we are talking about UCB/UCLA, they will see UC ____ and realize that student went to a good school. Unless we are talking about SLO, they will see CSU ____ and ask: I wonder why he didn’t go to a UC?</p>
<p>"Most people on this board only know one school but not the other. We are not equiped to do a fair comparison.</p>
<p>One thing I suggest people to do: You can talk up on the school u know (in this case, UCR), but don’t talk down on a school u know very little about.</p>
<p>Enough said. "</p>

<p>UCRUCR, you posted this right after mine… so i think its for me to read? sorry, but i’m not trying to be mean. I was planning to go to UCR because I liked it but I won’t because they don’t have my major. I even said both schools are good but that they are strong in different programs. Just saying.</p>
<p>Just tell me where the false accusation was! You stated that UCR stopped using minimal UC eligibility requirements this year when the article I supplied for this post proves that this practice was actually was adopted in 2004 for the 2005 class. You may choose to call me on the 20 point SAT discrepancy, but I did do my research. I googled and searched the UCR website for “common data set” and “CDS” and no direct link was found so I used the next best thing, being the widely accepted USNews and Petersons. I stand by my posts, as they are not the garden variety “college confidential” type that make claims without proof.</p>
<p>The use of comprehensive review does not run contrary to the UC-eligibility requirement. Like I said, it’s a hollistic approach to evaluate potential applicants, that’s all there is. </p>
<p>I simply pointed out that your numbers were wrong. Things didn’t get ugly until you started accusing me of fudging the facts and changing topics. </p>
<p>“It’s not all I care about, but was the topic of our interaction. Now that you’ve been caught fudging the facts, you’d like to change to topic of the conversation.” </p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona gives you the “best bang for the buck” for undergraduate studies. Resident fees at UCR amount to $8,507 whereas Cal Poly’s are one of the lowest in the CSU at $4,500. Academically, there’s nothing to justify this cost.</p>
<p>Just back from visiting Cal Poly Pomona and our tour guide stated that they only accepted about 80 freshman applicants this year into impacted majors (Arch, Eng., Animal Sci., and one other???) Anyone else hear this staggering statistic? I was shocked!!! My daughter was accepted (Animal Sci.) and thought this was a safety school!!!</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona is an affordable institution with unique majors. It has one of only two public and professional Bachelor of architecture programs in the largest state in the country, so you can imagine the demand. Even at $4,000 a year, it’s bargain compared to USC at close to 30k. Animal science is the second choice to the Vet program at UC Davis, which you need close to a 1600 on the SATs to get in to so a lot of qualified students spill over to Pomona. They accept close to 1,000 students to civil and mechanical engineering each, so your guide misspoke about those programs.</p>
