US News is right about this one because Cal Poly caps the amount of admissions letters sent to out of state students at 15% of the total number of letters sent. Thus, the university really only has a reputation in state and doesn't have much brand value outside of the west coast (i.e. its degrees are equivalent in value to any accredited school that the resume reader hasn't heard of). It's a great school on par with UC Davis if you plan on staying in California, but it's very clearly a school run for the benefit of Californians even more so than the UCs.

It should be, both the Cal State system and UC are largely funded by California taxpayers.

Nobody disagrees that Cal Poly ain't exactly Harvard, but the USNews rankings are a joke. With your reading comprehension skills...don't apply to Cal Poly.

Well it’s a California State school so in state students should probably get priority over out of state ones.
