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!

USC is another school to consider for Architecture.

UC’s and CSU’s do not consider Senior year grades.

What is your CSU/UC GPA? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Cal Poly SLO’s GPA is based on a-g course 9-11th grade while the UC’s and CSU’s use only 10-11th grades.

Have you checked the Freshman profiles for all these schools and see how you measure up?

http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/profiles/

http://admissions.calpoly.edu/prospective/profile.html

If your stats are around the 50th percentile (average) or higher, then you stand a decent chance at an acceptance.
For the UC’s, your essays and EC’s will be taken into consideration which can help or hurt your chances.

Post with your calculated CSU/UC GPA and the SLO GPA.

you are a very strong candidate for all those schools.

@Gumbymom My UC GPA is 4.17, and my SLO GPA is 3.8, if it is supposed to be unweighted.

No SLO GPA is your UC GPA with the added 9th grades, so use the RogerHub GPA calculator and add in your 9th grades.

Your UW GPA is at about the average for USC but your SAT score could be a bit higher if you are planning to apply.
