Thanks shingamiasuka!

Hey GradCafe, I'm a bit new to the forums but I have a question to ask. I am an undergrad in engineering currently attending Cal Poly (SLO) and am a bit worried about how schools may view the school compared to others. I strongly believe our undergraduate engineering is top notch and I would suppose those at most in California would agree but elsewhere the recognition is low. It also doesn't help that our school is only known for it's engineering, architecture, and buisness to a lesser degree. Cal Poly is a "learn by doing" school at heart that has great professors that mainly hail from Stanford, MIT, Berkley, Michigan, Columbia, etc but lacks any notable research from the few grad students at Cal Poly or the professors themselves. Overall, I am just curious how you would view Cal Poly in terms of comparing to other schools when applying for graduate school. As I have said, I just want to know my expectations coming from Cal Poly. I would post grades but I am just going into junior year so it is really still up for grabs. I will say it is above a 3.6 and I plan to keep it that way. Any opinions are greatly welcomed. Thanks!
