<p>well my GPA so far is 3.2 non weighted, took Architectural drafting, AP Cal AB and BC, and advanced Art(it helps to be artistic i guess) my SAT score is REALLY LOW, 1550, but i plan i retaking it.</p>
<p>My question is that what is the best way to get into Cal Poly Pomona or Cal Poly San Luis Bispo as an architect major??</p>
<p>Do i have a chance of getting in or do i have to go to CC before transferin</p>
<p>Pls reply and help me out here, any comments are welcome!</p>
<p>Look on Cal Poly's web site for what it took to get in last year. It was about a weighted 3.9 and an old SAT of mid 1200s I believe. You should go to the cc right next to it because you can then take classes at Poly and it feeds right into it.</p>
<p>With a Gpa of 3.2 (unweighted and from a difficult college prep school that sends like 20-40 guys to CP a year), 750 reading, 690 math, 710 writing, 4 APs (in English, Science, and Social sciences) and the intention of majoring in business, can I reasonably treat Cal Poly as a safety school? I suspect the answer is "no" but I would still appreciate any feedback.</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State San Luis Obispo aren't anything alike in terms of selectivity. It will be next to impossible for you to get into Cal State SLO as a freshman, but you have very good chances to get into Cal Poly Pomona--you are probably a "Match" there. Their average SAT scores are about 1540/2400 or 1025/1600 Oh, and their acceptance rate is 17%, not 8%. </p>
<p>Strangely enough, even though Cal State San Luis Obispo is tougher to get into, their acceptance rate is much higher at 38%. Their average SAT scores (2005) were 1858/2400 or 1233/1600. They get almost twice as many applicants as Cal Poly Pomona does, but the school has four times as many students.</p>
<p>you must be looking at some other data, cruzer. in the stated major pomona accepts 8 of 100 applicants while san luis accepts 6 of 100--according to one of the chairs of that academic program who should know this stuff. that's a pretty negligible difference.</p>
<p>it doesn't matter what the overall university profile looks like for impacted majors like this one, unless you are advocating a highly risky "end run" strategy wherein somebody gets a history major type admit and then hopes, wishes and dreams of getting moved into ARCH. good luck.</p>
<p>and where are you getting your stats about san luis being four times larger than pomona? better get off that weed, man, unless there is an explosion of new students of Biblical proportions when fall quarter classes open this week that nobody knows about.</p>
