<p>I don't know what happen to my previous thread but here goes again-</p>

<p>I am planning to apply for graduate schools and I am interested in the following schools:
princeton, harvard, MIT, UPenn, UC Berkeley, Washington University, columbia, and Yale</p>

<p>and I wanted to know what the minimum GPA was and if there was acceptances even lower than the minimum GPA. I wanted to see if it was possible for a scenario to have a GPA lower than the minimum GPA, but have outstanding portfolio and GRE Scores. Or minimum GPA, but decent portfolio and decent GRE scores.</p>

<p>In other words, do these top elite schools make exception besides GPA scores.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>vyan, peruse this thread from Archinect. It’s very long, but if you start around page 20ish you can see who was accepted where and with what. </p>

<p>It’s quite interesting. There’s a huge range in experience and GPA level, even at the most hard to get into programs. If I had to generalize I’d say that the focus is on portfolio, academic experience, professional experience in that order.</p>

<p>WUSTL, which is a very good program, is less selective than the others on your list. </p>

<p>Thanks for giving me that link. </p>

<p>I like WUSTL, it offers dual degree in construction management. I am interested in universities that offers dual degree besides landscape design or urban planning.</p>

<p>mainly west coast or east cost. nothing in between.</p>

<p>I like WUSTL too, but it’s about as “in between” as you can get. For eastcoast, you might also look at Cornell and Virginia.</p>
