[quote=Harmony]I am planing on applying to either Cal Poly Pomona or San Luis Obispo. I just wanted to know what is the difference between the two schools and which one is easier to get into. I am still undecided on what my major will be, but I am considering computer engineering.

hey harmony...if you are a minority it is a no brainer. pomona is the third most diverse campus in the nation. about 70 per cent of the pomona student body is made up of underrepresented groups, with my group, the asians, the most at just over one third of the student body. as i recall slo is about 90 per cent white and has had charges of racism and discrimination against it. but make no mistake it still is an excellent school. i decided on pomona even though accepted into slo since i am from bay area. i just wanted more diversity. and pomona has terrific computer programs. that would be my first choice if i were you.
