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.
