Roughly comparable high school students may choose between Cal Lutheran and Humboldt State…68% will graduate in six years from Cal Lutheran and only 43% from Humboldt. Similarly, comparable students may choose between UCDavis and Cal Poly SLO…81% will graduate in 6 years from Davis, only 69% from Cal Poly SLO. These differences reflect (crudely at best) that something very different is going on inside these schools. Note those students who are great students graduate at close to 90% after six years wherever they go…UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Stanford or Pomona. Query if the school can really take full credit for that number. Lesson: look more deeply into the educational program of the school you are considering.
