Those old Playboy rankings are still the only reason most Americans have even heard of Chico State. I have no idea where it ranks academically, but I've lived in far Nor Cal long enough now to realize it serves its community well."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Originally posted by Flystripper View PostWhile Chico State won't be mistaken for Stanford, or any of the UC schools for that matter, it has come a long way since the #1 party school title (most of the cal state schools have). It is so incredibly competitive to get into any of the U.C. schools these days, that the Cal State system (including Chico) is full of kids that graduated in the top 10-15% of their class due to an overflow effect. As a result the quality of the education has greatly increased due to the quality of the students getting significantly better. My Son who has a 4.2 GPA has a 1390 on the SAT, and is a multi sport letter in both track (four years) and football (three years) can't sniff entrance into a U.C school based on academics. He is hoping track gets him a shot at some of the second tier UC schools but he probably isn't quite fast enough for most of them. So he will likely be left with some cal state school...hopefully SLO we will see but Chico isn't out of the question.

Originally posted by bluegoose View PostIt is unbelievable how competitive the UC, and to a slightly lesser extent, the CSU systems are right now.

Even SDSU required basically a 4.0 and 33 ACT this year.Dyslexics are teople poo...

Prospective students submitting an ACT composite of 26 or higher should be in the upper half of applicants - and students with a 28 and above have very competitive chances."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
