<p>I would like someone to tell me if I would be able to get in for Architecture for RD.</p>
<p>Out of State
GPA - 3.89
ACT - 35 (maybe 36, I took the most recent ACT)
Architecture classes in high school for 3 years
Some work experience
National Merit Semifinalist / Finalist</p>
<p>Extracurriculars dont really matter at Cal Poly from what I have heard, but I have a few:</p>
<p>Football / Track
National Honor Society
Big Brothers
Freshman / Junior Retreat Leader</p>
<p>According to <a href=“http://www.ess.calpoly.edu/_admiss/Pdf/profile10_090409pdf.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ess.calpoly.edu/_admiss/Pdf/profile10_090409pdf.pdf</a></p>
<p>You are:
-Below in GPA, most likely by .2 to .3 gpa points… Arch is probably around 4.1-4.3
-Well above on the ACT. Probably 31-32 for Arch majors.</p>
<p>I would say you are going to have a relatively decent chance at being accepted.</p>
<p>4.3???</p>
<p>At my school, the highest possible GPA is 4.0</p>
<p>I have never even heard of a GPA higher than a 4.0</p>
<p>Really? Have you ever taken an “AP” or “Honors” class?</p>
<p>yes. honors in most classes since freshman year, 2 AP classes this year.</p>
<p>and on that guidebook you sent me, it says that architecture is 3.90</p>
<p>Yeah but the guidebook lists the averages for the <em>College</em> of Architecture & Environmental Design. Which includes the majors: Construction Management, City & Regional Planning, Architectural Engineering, Architecture, and Landscape Architecture… Most likely the selected applicants for the Architecture major had higher stats than the selected applicants for the others.</p>
<p>You should look at your grades again, because all grades in AP and Honors classes are given an extra gpa point. For example, if you got an A in “US History Honors”, that grade would count as a 5.0, instead of a 4.0.</p>
<p>You very well might have like a 4.3 + gpa if you arent adding the extra gpa point for your grades.</p>
<p>Have you ever heard the terms “weighted” and “unweighted” GPA?</p>
<p>yes but I dont think my weighting system is the same as yours, if the highest possible is a 4.0</p>
<p>[Whats</a> the difference between weighted GPA and unwieghted GPA? - Yahoo! Answers](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/question/index?qid=20070619001030AAWAlrL]Whats”>http://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/question/index?qid=20070619001030AAWAlrL)</p>

<p>Figure it out dude, you obviously don’t have a clue what your gpa is…</p>
<p>4.26 weighted according to CSU scale.</p>
<p>Sorry</p>
<p>which means my CSU eligibility index is 1202 (1212 if i get the 36)</p>
<p>Yeah so with a 4.26 weighted GPA, and a 35 ACT. I think your in for Architecture, and honestly your chances of getting into any other university in the nation are relatively good.</p>
<p>thanks for your help, i appreciate it</p>
<p>I think I should contact admissions, because I didnt report that GPA on my application</p>
