<p>The world little notes nor long remembers graduates from Cal State schools. These colleges are a black void. Look at the [CC list of colleges](<a href=“College Confidential Forums - Admissions Discussions and Threads”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/</a>), only a few are listed, and Cal Poly is the only one with any posts. Fresno State, with 22,000 students, has 7 posts total all time. UCLA will have 7 posts per hour. It is reflective of the total lack of energy emanating from the Cal State system.</p>
<p>Do you think Adcoms at better graduate schools sit up and take notice when they see an A-laden transcript from Hayward State? Think again. You’d be on the pathway to oblivion. Stop your ideation of being a shining star amid mediocrity, and double down on your time at UCLA.</p>
