<p>still don't know what program to choose from,,
any suggestions?
Adds:
in Cal Poly SLO. 5 year (proffessional degree) getting a B.Arch
or
UCBerkeley.. 6 yr program with aM.Arch!??</p>
<p>thx!</p>
<p>hmmm I don't know- Berkeley is a good school--- but it doesn't have that B.arch option. You would have to do well and apply for an M.arch I program. Are you from California?- do you plan to stay there? Cal poly slo should be a good program and it certainly gets a lot of "hype", however even though I am from California I never really considered it- It seemed a little too isolated and its program just never interested me. I think that there might be some studio space downsides and a while ago-- (I don't know now)--- but years ago they were a much more "practical" school- vs. theoretical. I think they also produce a few more purely residential architects, but I could be wrong. - Do some research- You have two very good choices and both are highly regarded. -- remember-time is running out, so chose quickly!</p>
<p>thanks yeah.. i have done some research and i love them both ..yess i'm from CA .. so is it really hard to make it to the M.ARch programof Berkeley?</p>
<p>well its just like going to grad school
need very good gpa n stuff from undergrad</p>
<p>I always recommend not going to the same school for both undergrad and grad. Most people do better work when they've gotten out of their comfort zone a bit, are experiencing something new and exciting. Going to the same school for six years? Exactly the opposite of new and exciting...</p>
<p>But yes, Berkeley has an EXTREMELY selective graduate program. And it is NOT about "good grades n stuff". It's about your portfolio primarily, then your statement of purpose & letters of recommendation, your work experience, and thennnnnnn your grades and GRE scores (usually one strong will make up for the other being weak).</p>
