Congrats!! Cal Poly SLO is an awesome school! SLO is quite possibly one of the most beautiful schools I've ever seen... the area, anyways, all the buildings were upgraded in the 70's... ugh.

If you're absolutely dead-set on Comp Engineering, go for it!! If you're not sure, then it may not be the best choice... they allow you almost no electives. Many of their four-year programs are comparable to a lot of professional programs.

Oh, and if you're wondering, I'm CSC and am ditching CPE 219 Logic & Switching Circuits at the moment :) (3-4 class)

Congrats. I graduated from CP, SLO in '99 with a degree in CSC. I loved going to school there. It was a lot of fun, I met good friends, and it did prepare me for the workplace, somewhat.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Congrats.

Hey Congrats. I really would like to go there myself. I applied to Cal Poly and UCs and I'm just curious what ur gpa and sats were. I would like to know if I have a chance. I have a 3.7 and I got 1390 on my SAT! and an average of 650 on my SAT2s.

SAT2's are irrelevant to Cal State schools IIRC, Cal Poly for sure (since I never took them ;)). I had a 4.~~ weighted in high school with a 1360 SAT, ranked about 16 in my senior class. I probably could have gotten into a better school, but I'm living at home & other circumstances sorta prevented that. I never bothered applying to anything else.

I got in there last year for Mechanical Engineering. It's a great school for any engineering courses period. But I opted to stay closer to home and attend a UC. Being Asian and living in an Asian neighborhood all my life, I was a bit intimidated to attend a predominantly white school so far from home. Would've been interesting to try out but I'm not a very sociable person.

Congrats. I currently go to CP SLO as Industrial Engineering Major. Really nice town, small. I'm asian and love it here. Grew up in SF, but spend 5 years of Middle School + High school in a white town. You should come down to take a look if you haven't yet. Especially since it's summer. ;) Hehe...so close to the beach too.
