By the way, "school-bashing" is nothing new at that site..... I often see UC Davis and UCI get bashed around (mainly because of the school environment), though the bashing is nowhere near as bad as CPP's.
By the way, whoever "roxygirl" is in the first thread link I posted above, I commend you for stepping up:

Actually Mindgame, drj is right.
First of all they are sister schools and second their programs are nearly identical.
You said
"quality students and people seeking better educates flock to cal poly SLO and dont even consider pomona"
For your information Cal Poly Pomona is considered, along with SLO, USC, UCI, and Berkley. sdsu and chico are not even looked at. I've never even heard of these schools until I entered the CSU system. These are students in the top 1% of their class. I should know I work at a high school in an upper crust city in Orange County. I hear and see everything. Cal Poly Pomona is highly regarded by staff members and students.
Oh, and you talk about low gpa. That's the average. Have you considered the students with gpa's of 4.0 or higher when entering.
Mine was a 3.8 and I took AP and honor classes along with clubs and volunteer work, the whole show. I applied to CPP and UC Davis. Cal Poly Pomona being my first choice. And I did get into Davis.
Have you ever been to Cal Poly Pomona? You have no idea of what you're talking about. You're giving CPP a bad rep, what you need to do is keep your ignorant opinions to yourself. Everything you say is based on numbers and opinions of others.
Oh, yeah for your information, CPP and SLO were the same school once upon a time. Therefore their programs are the same, nothing much has changed since they separated.

Apparently someone didn't believe the fact that CPSLO and CPP used to be affiliated with each other up until 1966...... after all, how would those be the only two campuses in the CSU system that hold the "Cal Poly" name? Nowadays though, they are separate schools with their own schedules, however, programs still remain quite similar.
Now, I grew up in the Inland Empire (Chino, Ontario, Riverside, San Bernardino, that whole area), and CPP is very highly regarded among my peers and the staff at my school. Even my peers, who are bound for UCLA and Berkeley, still hold CPP with high regard.
