<p>I’m just nervous… I’m really interested in Architecture (since I was little… Dream job I guess) because of the employment. So I decided to only go into the degree if I am accepted into a successful school with a well-known architecture program. I’m worried; I’m hardworking and involved, however I don’t have “the best” test scores nor a “perfect” GPA. CHANCE ME for Cal Poly SLO and Cooper Union please!</p>

<p>ALSO: I am interested in learning of other schools that I would have a shot at acceptance with a great architecture program. Thank you!</p>

<p>If you go to the Keys to the Kingdom post and fully digest and understand both links in there, you will have as good of an idea of your chances as anyone else. Good luck.</p>

<p>I’d encourage you to do your own chancing by looking at the Class of 2018 below as well as the early decision thread for 2014 incoming class a few pages below that and compare your stats with accepted Arch. Majors. If you are absolutely committed to Cal Poly, SLO then apply ED - but if you’re not certain then I would strongly advise against doing that. As suggested above, the pinned post needs to be thoroughly read and understood. ECs count for very little you’ll find. Good luck in your research.</p>
