cal poly

usually where most of the UC-Berkeley engineering rejects go - don't deny the fact that Cal is still years ahead of you in engineering and science

Cal's EECS program >>>>>>>>>>>> any other school's similar program, except for maybe MIT

Cal's Haas School of Business >>>>>>>> *

Average GPA and SAT score of admitted EECS applicants: 4.45 and 1460, 4.0+ and 1400+ for engineering applicants overall, whereas cow poly's at 3.87 and 1280.

that, and the area near cow poly's kennedy library smells like shit - at least we don't have to worry about having an ag department

NYU Poly

The official slang name of The NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, recently changed to the NYU Tandon School of Engineering by some tyrants on the NYU board of trustees.
NYU Polytechnic, (nicknamed NYU Poly) was originally an all men's engineering school which later became the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, which then joined NYU to become NYU Polytechnic, then left NYU and kept the name NYU Poly. Then in 2014 NYU finally merged with New York University to become the New York NYU Polytechnic Institute. NYU Poly has grown to become one of the world's best engineering establishments, which continued to grow until the Tandon family gave $100 million to the school to rename it in their likeness. Most students and almost all staff still call the school, NYU Poly, or just Poly.
Person 1: Hey Person 2, what college do you go to now that you graduated?
Person 2: I go to NYU Poly!
Person 1: Oh yea, didn't they rename that school?
Person 2: *Sigh* yea, now its NYU Tandon :/

Person 1: Tandon? {Lol that sounds like NYU Tampon
Person2: Rofl You're right it definitely does. I liked NYU Poly a lot better.

poly prep

is a private school and a member of the ivy prepatory leauge located in bay ridge in Brooklyn. in the city it is considered a school for slackers who didnt get in anywhere or for kids who got kicked out of their previous schools.

Poly is so lame, no kids party and kids at Horace Mann and Riverdale dont bother to asscoiate themselves with kids from Poly. It has lots of kids from Staten Island and Brooklyn who act like animals and give the school a bad reputation.
At a party:
Horace Mann kid: what school do you go to
Poly kid from the city: poly prep
Horace Mann kid: where's that
Poly kid: in brooklyn
Horace Mann kid: oh yea isnt that school for delinquents and kids who didnt get in anywhere?

Cal Poly

A decent state university filled with people who harbor great resentment toward UC Berkeley, probably because they got rejected from there and had to stoop to a CSU.

I could give a long rant as to why Berkeley is better than cal poly, but the sheer number of definitions that attempt to bash Berkeley with petty comments speaks for itself.
Cal Poly Grad: Berkeley sucks! Bunch a pot smokin hobos!

Berkeley Grad: Please, whine more. No one even question's UCB's quality due to our world class engineering programs, nobel prize winning faculty, and amazing job prospects after college.
