What are my chances? UCB, UCLA, Cal Poly SLO & Pomona

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I’m planning on majoring in architecture. Also, are there any other decent colleges around the California area that offer B. Arch?

Unweighted GPA: 3.83/3.87
Weighted GPA: 4.2/4.25
These are my most likely GPAs depending on how I do this year.

SAT:
New SAT: 1360/1600
Will retake, I’m probably going to do better next time because I didn’t study.

Classes:
Grade 9 - Honors Bio, Honors Geometry, Honors English
Grade 10 - AP Spanish, Honors English, AP Euro, Alg 2/Trig Honors
Grade 11 - AP Biology, APUSH, Honors English
Grade 12 - AP Gov/Econ, AP Psychology
TLDR; 12 AP/Honors over course of high school

Extracurriculars:

  • VP at school club that raises funds for those in need (2 years)
  • Volunteer at community non-profit (3 years)
  • Volunteer at hospital (1.5 years)
  • Member of Youth Group organization that does community projects (2 years)
  • Varsity for 2 sports (1 year in one sport, 2 years in other)
  • Journalism (2 years, 1 year editor)
  • Also been a member for several clubs at my school for 3-4 years

I have pretty good recommendation letters set up.

What are some match schools for me that offer architecture? Thanks for your time!

Honestly your profile does not seem strongly competitive for UCB, UCLA, and Pomona. I don’t know much about Cal Poly.

Give us your UC GPA the person above does not know what they are talking about Pomona is not that hard to get into infact it may even be a safety for you. I would say this:
Safety- Low Match: Pomona
Match: SLO
High Match: UCB and UCLA

Based on last year’s admission rates: SLO was around 32% and Pomona 37%. For Architecture, both are equally difficult.

@Sterny16 I don’t know what I’m talking about? Am I confused? From Pomona’s website: “admitting a record-low 9.1 percent of applicants” for the class of 2020. @Gumbymom what am I missing

Oh Cal Poly Pomona. My bad? Pomona to me says Pomona College

I calculated it using CSU Mentor and my UC GPA is 4.17.
