<p>ummm ok.....so i was wondering what was harder to get in to. Berkeley architecture or CALPOLY SLO architecture. do u know any transfers that got in to both? what were their gpa?</p>
<p>i was also wondering if UCLA architecture is even good......</p>
<p>okay UCLA architecture is great! admit rate from last yr was 13.98% which is pretty low... Berkeley's admit rate was 21percent... SLO not sure...
i think UCLA is the hardest to get in base on the admit rate.
I think, UCB=SLO similar and UCLA slightly below... all three schools are perfect for arch major...
By theway, my friend got in to SLO and USC for arch but denied from LA and Cal so.. haha</p>
<p>I'm an architecture major at Berkeley and some of my classmates were denied admission from SLO. They're both difficult to get into (although as a student here now I don't have much respect for the academics), but in general, I would say SLO is more selective. </p>
<p>What you might want to consider is that these programs are vastly different. SLO's is a 5-year professional program-- I've heard it's extremely rigorous and technical-- whereas Berkeley is on the 4+2 plan. Don't get me wrong, Berkeley's program is pretty rigorous too, but it's more theoretical than the professional schools.</p>
<p>I haven't heard anything about UCLA yet. The undergrad program is brand-new....</p>
<p>I'm an engineering major at Cal Poly but definitely feel the architecture program's presence here. Architecture students construct incredible displays each week on Cal Poly's Dexter Lawn, Cal Poly holds annual architecture-only career fairs with hundreds of employers seeking Cal Poly talent, and architecture majors frequently set the curve in my calculus classes.</p>
<p>In the past, top students from my high school chose Cal Poly's architecture program over Berkeley's, and students from my high school who weren't admitted to Cal Poly's program moved to SLO, attended Cuesta Community College since it offers the most CPSLO-transferable architecture classes of all the CCC's, and transferred as third-years; the transfer GPA's were around 3.7.</p>
