<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>Cal Poly SLO admissions are based 9th, 10th, and 11th grade using CSU GPA. Essays are not required. Admission is based upon major and an algorithm is used for admissions. . High school coursework GPA accounts for a weight between 45% and 55%. Taking additional semesters of required courses results in bonus points (i.e. 100 extra points for 10 semesters of English, 100 extra points for 8 semesters of foreign language, 200 points for 8 semesters of lab, 50 points for 4 semesters of performing arts, 500 bonus points for 4 semesters of advanced math). SAT score accounts for 25% to 35% (not including writing); Work experience and extracurriculars = 1-10% of admission score. Bonus points are awarded for particular qualities of a student. These qualities include: California recently released veteran, Service Area, Partner Schools, Father’s highest education level (not a high school graduate), Mother’s highest education level (not a high school graduate), and School, Faculty or Staff Dependent.</p>
<p>Architecture majors are quite competitive. </p>
