architecture

<p>Has anyone been admited to cal poly under the major of architecture?</p>

<p>I applied to architecture and I still haven't heard anything. I don't know of anyone else who applied to architecture that has heard anything either.</p>

<p>i applied arch. engineering and got in.</p>

<p>i don't know if thats in the same area or different, but there it is.</p>

<p>Nope, no word from Architecture yet. I also haven't heard of anyone who has heard from them.</p>

<p>i got in... does anyone have a list of headcount or acceptance rates for calpoly's arch?</p>

<p>when did you get in?</p>

<p>more than a week ago, someone told me calpoly does rolling admissions though. shrug*</p>

<p>For any architecture enthusiasts out there, would it make any sense if I major in studio art at UCSD and move on to a masters in architecture when I graduate. (This only applies if I don't get accepted to Cal Poly for architecture. Still waiting)</p>

<p>Do studio art for two years AND TRANSFER!</p>

<p>I got into the cal poly architecture program. I think i found out late february.</p>

<p>check my.calpoly.edu. that's where i first found out. I didn't get a letter until a couple weeks later</p>

<p>does it matter whether I'm in regular architecture or architecture engineering?</p>

<p>is one better than the other?</p>

<p>You can probably switch into regular architecture fairly easily. </p>

<p>but i have some questions about the program. if anybody has info about it that would be great. While I am confident I would like to study architecture, I want to make sure I understand exactly how much of my time will be spent studying and drafting at Cal Poly.</p>

<p>1) How much time does Architecture take? I've heard about sleepless nights but is this due to other commitments during the day or just architecture? I'm nervous about not being able participate in things outside of architecture.</p>

<p>2) Other then GEN ED's, are all courses architecture courses or are there open electives. My spanish is important to me, and I want to know if I can continue taking classes during my time at cal poly.</p>

<p>Thanks. I'm trying to make my decision and these are two things that concern me.</p>

<p>I'm an arch transfer. Got rejected last night. CP was my first choice, too. Just one of those lame things where I actually went to community college for a whole one more year to get all the classes I needed to get into Cal Poly and they still didn't take me. Ah well.</p>

<p>I applied for architecture and got rejected but i got into USC, I find that really amusing.</p>

<p>hey bennjesse did you go to the arch open house at usc last sat?</p>

<p>Depressingly I got rejected to Cal Poly for architecture. :( That was my only chance to pursue architecture (well that and UCB which I got rejected). So now I was wondering if it was possible to transfer from UCSD to CalPoly. How difficult would it be? Does anybody know the chances into USC or UCB for architecture?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I really don't know anything at all because i'm barely going to undergrad next year for architecture but from what i'd assume, I'd say just develop a strong portfolio if you wish to transfer. That's probably ur best bet.</p>

<p>Have any of you guys seen the architecture/environmental design facilities at Poly? I find it odd that one of the best architecture schools in the nation has such ugly buildings haha.</p>

<p>lol yeah it's kinda ugly. It's kinda cool though too. I heard that all the electrical and wiring are open in the ceilings like that cuz it's a project for the freshmen to draw it all out or something. That's just what i heard though. But yeah, it seems like the arch buildings are the ugliest buildings on all the campuses. This is also true for USC and Berkeley. how ironic.</p>

<p>Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Do you truly know that which you critique? Concrete is an art form in the right hands, you must decide if you judge the building on its form or on its function, or possibly on the balance of the two... Once you live in it, you will grow to appreciate the hidden nuances and the true beauty will make itself clear. Not unlike the important relationships in your life! Look to the shadows, it is there that you will find light.</p>
