<p>I haven't really seen any examples of portfolios accepted into good architecture programs, (I applied ED to Cornell) so some input to how strong my portfolio is would be appreciated. be honest! PM me if you're interested. Also tell me how I stack up.. </p>

<p>extra info about my chances:
EC
-varsity crew, been rowing since freshman year (got recruited to a few schools but unfortunatly not Cornell, though the coach said she would want me on the team if that means anything)
-varisty swimming, been swimming since 5th grade
-volunteered at my local Audubon society
(I do crew during the spring, summer, and fall. Swimming in the winter. I don't have much time to do anything else club related)</p>

<p>Recs
-two very good teacher recs
-rec from cornell arch graduate with successful firm in nyc </p>

<p>Grades & scores & such
-29 ACT
-Did okay on math IIs
-90 av.
-interview went really well
-essays are good</p>

<p>yeah so obviously my grades and scores are my weakest point, but with them only accounting for 1/3 of the admission process I think I'll survive. Oh how I hate the college application process. meh.</p>

<p>cud u give us ur exact physics grade, math grades, math 2c grade? and the rest is really dependent on portfolio! also ur race/gender and region</p>

<p>well I decided to take an environmental science class instead of physics last year, so I’m currently taking physics. I’m in calc now, math grades have usually been in the mid 80’s,(not my strongsuit) but some current architecture students have said that they take barely any math clases. So that whole stress on math for architecture somewhat confuses me… 550 math IIs. Unlike some of the other people on here who complain about a 750, I can actually say that my score is terrible… and I really should have studied. Oh well.</p>
