HELP ME PICK A SCHOOl-CALPOLYPOMONA or CC/TO A BETTER ARCH. SCHOOL?

<p>ok, im a senior right now and the only school i got into is cal poly pomona. i have alerady made up my mind that i will be an architect for the rest of my life. </p>

<p>Unfortunetly, i got into calpoly pomona as a landscape architect major(my 2nd major) and not my first, which was architecture(an impacted major). I wanted to get into calpoly San Luis Obispo, but pomona is still a good school for architect.</p>

<p>so im deciding, whether i should go to CALPOLY POMONA under landscape architecture and transfer back to architecture or Go to City College and transfer after two years to a better(a lot of people think pomona is a weak university) university architect?</p>

<p>are my chances higher switching majors or transfering?</p>

<p>First, have you checked with Calpoly Pomona about how difficult it is to transfer from landscape arch. to arch? Have you checked with other arch. schools like Cal Poly SLO about how many transfers they accept into their architecture program each year? </p>

<p>The BEST way to judge your chances is to get information directly from the schools, not to ask random people here who probably know even less than you do. It may be best for you to take a gap year - perhaps working as an intern in a local arch. office- and then reapply directly for arch. programs, but you need to ask the schools about your chances of transferring before you make that decision. </p>

<p>After you have some specific numbers about transfer rates at various schools and Pomona, if you want advice from an architect, I'd also suggest you PM a parent on this board named Cheers. You could also post a message for her on the parents board with the name "Cheers" in the subject. She and her husband are working architects and she has an excellent understanding of arch. programs and requirements. She could probably give you better advice than anyone else on CC about which path would be the best for you.</p>

<p>if you know what cal state or uc you want to be at, i say you make a transfer agreement with the school you want to attend and just attend community college first two years.</p>
