Cal poly troubles Don't forget that UC Riverside does a great job with recruiting African-Americans and supporting them once they are enrolled. One of my hs classmates loved her time at UCR. We give UCR some flack, but they serve the I.E. well. Also, here at Davis we have to improve before we can call out Poly. I'm not advocating for AA by any means. I feel like the current holistic system is ideal and a good compromise. Just saying that there is always room for improvement in any area, admissions included, at every university.
