<p>If youre an architecture student at Cornell, it'd be great
if you can post your high school stats on here!</p>
<p>Oh and...I wanted to do architecture summer program at Cornell,
but we are trying to save a lot of money, so I won't be able to
attend the program. I know the summer program looks better on
the application, but I was wondering if anyone knows how I could
get involved with anything architecture related during summer w/o
having to spend a lot of money.</p>
<p>Has anyone done something architecture related outside of college
summer program?</p>
<p>I know a handful of people have gotten jobs in construction firms and architectural firms doing various random jobs in them. I don't know anyone that has gotten a job with someone who works in architecture preservation, but that could be another option. But otherwise a lot of other things can be architecture related.. sketching, photography, reading, I'm sure you can come up with a list of those things.</p>
<p>i'm not sure if this answers your question fully, but my friend was accepted into Cornell for Architecture 2 years ago. I know her weighted GPA was 4.3, unweighted around high 3.8s or low 3.9s and SAT score was 1400 on the old, 2140 on the new. but she also said </p>
<p>"For architecture major, these are just numbers, like age requirements, not important, only if you're below their lower limit. The portfolio and interview are the MAJOR factors into your acceptance."</p>
<p>Hey, I got accepted into the architecture program at Cornell this week (what a surprise!!! They did it three weeks early for some reason). So here are my stats and general applicant info:
Math - 730
Reading - 730
Writing - 690
ACT - 32
GPA Unweighted - 3.98
GPA weighted - 4.93
Portfolio - artwork from a few art classes I took freshman/sophomore year. Plus some AutoCAD from my tech studies class.<br>
I’m Hispanic, if that means anything.
I had an architect and a regular alumni interview me. Compared with other interviews, they went unusually well.</p>
<p>I got in early decision (hopefully this response isn’t “late”… eh)</p>
<p>SAT: 2280
SATIIs: Math II 760, Lit 710, World 800.
APs: Calc AB 4, Physics Mechanics 4, Physics E&M 4, US govt 4, world history 5, language and comp 5, art history 5, 2d design 5, lit and comp, psychology, drawing portfolio.
GPA: 3.83, 4.63
No architecture work experience, attended a summer program (not at Cornell). I’ve been taking art classes since I was 8 and won a few insignificant art awards. I work at a gallery part time and had a really, really shiny portfolio. I interviewed on campus, brought in a ton of artwork and totally failed at the “bigger question” questions about why I want to pursue architecture… good times.</p>
