<p>No rejections yet? This is freaking me out. I’m afraid they’re done sending out all of their admissions and now they’re gonna start on their rejections :/</p>
<p>Accepted as CC transfer</p>
<p>Major: Civil Engineering - Env. Emphasis
GPA: 3.66
Units: 106</p>
<p>Won’t be accepting the offer, but I’m still glad I got in.</p>
<p>anyone accepted to biology yet? :(</p>
<p>anyone accepted to biotechnology?</p>
<p>waitlisted for architecture :(</p>
<p>Sorry blondie… Are you planning on waiting to see if you get in? I was waitlisted for Cal Poly Slo. The feeling is worse than being rejected.</p>
<p>Yeah, because you know you have to wait all the way until May, and even then you’re not guaranteed in :[</p>
<p>I don’t think I can wait because I’m gonna be living on campus wherever I go, so I have to put in a 400 dollar non-refundable deposit for housing at CSU Long Beach before there’s no room left :[</p>
<p>Do you think there’s ANY chance that they’ll process by alternate major, which is Landscape Architecture? Does anyone know if they’ve done so in the past? If so, how often and how can I possibly make that happen?
Cal Poly Pomona was seriously my number one choice, and I honestly thought I had a chance</p>
<p>I don’t think any colleges factor in alternate major choice</p>
<p>Well, cal poly pomona says you MIGHT be processed in your alternate major, but yeah the question is whether or not they ACTUALLY ever do that</p>
<p>Blondie, honey, i feel for you :(</p>
<p>…but you WILL pull through no matter where you go. If you really want to become an architect, go to community college, and transfer in two years to CPP. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that route :)</p>
<p>Community College just seems so boring 
But, I’ve decided on going to CSU Long Beach for industrial design, which in some way relates to architecture- although I’m not exactly sure how, so I’ll just try out Long Beach first and if that doesn’t work, I can always transfer :]
I was really upset about being waitlisted at first, but who knows. Maybe I’ll be a super-successful industrial designer instead hahaha</p>
<p>it sounds like you’re not really sure what specific major you want, in my opinion community college might be a better idea because you’ll take the classes that will help you decide exactly what you want to do, before picking the major when you transfer. Also it’s very hard to transfer from one csu to another, but you’ll have no problems transferring from a community college as long as you keep a good GPA. Most people say that community college is boring but that it pays off. Plus you save money by going this route.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know what you mean. That’s definitely something to think about. I was almost POSITIVE about being an architect, but now I feel like that dream was just crushed lol. But, yeah, CC is always an option.</p>
<p>Landscape architecture isn’t really a fallback for architecture. Thought they both share a design studio culture, there aren’t that many people that ended up as landscape architects because they couldn’t get into architecture school. Though CC is usually a good choice for generic majors, I would not suggest it for an architecture major. At CPP, they have a 5 year studio sequence that can’t be shortened by going to a CC. There aren’t that many CCs that teach architecture the way it is taught in a real college. They mainly teach drafting at CCs while they teach critical thinking and creativity at a 5 year program. In other words, the units will most likely not transfer. I really think you may have a chance, just wait. If you can’t get in, you may go the CC route and then transfer into a 4 year architecture program like ASU, U of A or UNLV or Berkeley and get a professional Masters degree later.</p>
<p>I had a feeling transferring wasn’t going to be very easy, especially because there are so many courses specific to a major in architecture, so some general ed classes I take at a community college might not even be needed when I transfer. At Long Beach I can focus on architecture if I major in industrial design, which I’m doing, so maybe once I get my bachelor’s I can go to a really good grad school and get a masters in architecture.</p>
<p>Got ACCEPTED!!!
CC Transfer
GPA: 3.15-------> that’s just awesome. The supplemental application helps a lots…
Units: 86
Major: Electrical Engineering
Good luck to everyone:)</p>
<p>@blondiex,</p>
<p>I am not too familiar with the CSULB program, but I think it is an interior design program. Four year programs like the ones I mentioned, plus UCLA and the University of Washington, do general ed courses for the first two years and then two years of architecture courses, so transferring into one of them from a CC is pretty seamless. I would be leery of Architecture lite programs like the one at CSULB. Four year architecture degrees are better regarded than interior design programs.</p>
<p>there is an option to major in interior design at CSULB but that’s definitely not what program I’m going into. I’ll be majoring in industrial design, which deals with the design and manufacturing of products. I’m not exactly sure how it relates to architecture, but some job descriptions of industrial design have specified that it is possible to focus on architecture (I’m not exactly sure how accurate this information is, though, so I might be wrong)</p>
<p>Honestly, CC plus a 4 year Architecture degree would be a better route. They will work better when applying to architecture grad schools. Studying architecture within an industrial design program does not sound right. CSULB is not well known in the architecture community. Do two years at a CC, two years at UCLA, ASU or Berkeley and get a 2 year Masters degree. That’s 6 years total if everything goes according to plan (good luck!). This is if you can’t get into Cal Poly Pomona. The CPP route would be the best because of the continuity (most people finish the program in 5 years). As I have already said, have a little patience.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know what you mean. I’ll have to think about all this. Thanks for the advice!</p>
