3.5 GPA for Cal Poly Pomona architecture admission?!?

I really want to get into architecture program in Cal Poly Pomona!! That is my dream!


right now, I have 3.43 GPA. until fall or winter, I can make improve it to 3.5 or 3.55 GPA.


Do you think I can make it with this GPA?


I've finished with IGETC now as well as golden four.





Everyone says different advice on CPP's achitecture admission.


I know 3.2 GPA or above can apply for architecture program


What I need to know is average or recommend GPA.


Some say 3.4~3.8 GPA is okey to get in,


and some says it must be more than 3.6 minimum.


My school (Glendale community college) said 3.5 GPA is


remmended. I have no idea!!!!!!!





Please tell me, do you think I can make it?

3.5 GPA for Cal Poly Pomona architecture admission?!?
I am sorry but I must protest against the response against Answerer #1. As a former architectural student who applied as a transfer student from a California Community College to Cal Poly Pomona for the Architectural Program, I know that for a fact that you are NOT guaranteed a spot in the program as long as you meet the minimum requirements. Cal Poly Pomona's Architecture program is impacted and therefore they do not have enough space for all those who meet the requirements and wish to be there.





As for advice for you, don't worry too much. Do the best you can right now. There is SO much more to getting into the architecture program than GPA. Have you worked on your portfolio? Your portfolio can sometimes mean everything, and will usually be the determining factor between fairly similar candidates. The reason why you keep getting different advice is because nothing is set in stone. It varies from one year to the next. I would defiantly go in and specifically make an appointment to talk to an adviser at Cal Poly Pomona school of architecture and see what they say. Who knows, they may be the one to help review your file and remember your name and remember how much you wanted to go there.





Good luck! I am sure you will do fine!
Reply:I am an architecture professor that just help a student get into Cal Poly. My arch. students have gone to Columbia, USC etc. You need a decent g.p.a to get into the program. However, remember that Cal Poly, if you meet the min. requirements must accept you.


So if you are transferring from Glendale with a 3.4 you WILL get in. So don't sweat it. Have some good recommendations from your professors and submit according to the deadlines. Make sure you have a good statement and don't worry.

Tax Credits from Retired Parents??

My parents are both just under 65. They just retired from overseas last year. Currenlty they have NO income, no CPP or Old Age or anything like that.





Question is: Given they are under 65, but we live together and they are solely depend on me %26amp; my husband's income. They are NOT disable though. Can I still claim them as dependent (e.g. for their medicial bills as my tax credits?)

Tax Credits from Retired Parents??
Hi Twinken, I have read your question carefully, and here is the simple answer for you.





AS PER CRA:





If, at any time in 2006, you (either alone or with another person) maintained a dwelling where you and a dependant lived (a spouse or common-law partner is not considered your dependant), you may be able to claim a maximum amount of $3,933. The dependant must have been one of the following individuals:





your or your spouse or common-law partner's child or grandchild; or


your or your spouse or common-law partner's brother, sister, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, parent, or grandparent who was resident in Canada.





You cannot claim this amount for a person who was only visiting you.





In addition, you can claim an amount for more than one dependant as long as each one meets ALL of the following conditions. The dependant must have:





- been 18 or older when he or she lived with you;


- had a net income (line 236 of his or her return, or what line 236 would be if he or she filed a return) of less than $17,363; and


- been dependent on you due to mental or physical infirmity or, if he or she is your or your spouse or common-law partner's parent or grandparent, born in 1941 or earlier.





Since your parents DO NOT meet all of the above conditions, there is no claim for them on either of your tax returns, which also means that neither you nor your husband can claim your parents' medical expenses either.

I hope this information helps you.


C++, Binary Searching a string?

Could someone please tell me what is wrong wit this? I basically want to be able to preform a binary search on a string but I'm not quite sure how to do it. If you could please show me how to do it that would be great. The code can be found at http://cpp.sourceforge.net/?show=35467





I have posted it up so it doesn't need to be downloaded or anything.

C++, Binary Searching a string?
C-style strings cannot be compared using == or %26gt; or %26lt; operators, you need to use the strcmp function. Here is a fix to your search function:


Code:





int binarySearch( char array[][SIZE], int numelems, char value[SIZE]) { int first = 0, last = numelems - 1, middle, position = -1; bool found = false; while (!found %26amp;%26amp; first %26lt;= last) { middle = (first + last) / 2; if (!strcmp(array[middle], value)) { found = true; position = middle; } else if (strcmp(array[middle], value)%26gt;0) last = middle - 1; else first = middle + 1; } return position; }





If you used std::string instead of C-style strings, those operators would have had worked well. std::string has those operators overloaded to work as you expect.
Reply:Nice work. You're abusing SF resources for your own webspace. I was wondering about that project, and it turns out you're the admin. Nice...


Whats wrong with my Warcraft!!!!!?

Data File Error--


Setup cannot read a required date file.Your Warcraft III CD may not be in the CDROM drive. Please ensure that the disc is in the CDROM drive and press Retry. To cancel the operation, press Cancel.





G:\war3.mpq


Error 0x00000017: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).


(FileUtil.cpp:816)








this never happened before. before the installation goes smoothly but i dont know what went wrong. can anyone help me?

Whats wrong with my Warcraft!!!!!?
There is lots of reasons for this. It's either that your disc is dirty so you just have to clean it. Or that your disc is too scratched up. Your can try to clean it with water but it won't clear the scratchs. If this doesn't work then try copying it. Make another copy of your disc. This should work. I'd tried it myself before. Hope this helped you. Good luck
Reply:Try copying the contents of the disk on to the C drive. Then run install.exe from there.





Let me know if it works.





My boyfriend is addicted to that game (the online version). He beat III in a week.... I don't understand it... : )





Anyway let me know if that works.

What can i do to get rid of this it pops up when i boot world of warcraft.

This application has encountered a critical error:





Not enough storage is available to process this command.

World of warcraft help?
It's not that it doesn' t have enough "memory as in RAM" , it's that it doesn't hard drive space to run the game.





To solve this, go to Start%26gt;Control Panel%26gt;Add/Remove Programs and remove any programs you do not use. This should free up some space for you.
Reply:your computer doesn't have enough memory for that program
