| I was in similar shoes not too long ago. I had been drooling over Cornell's architecture program for quite some time; I'm very blessed to be entering as a freshman this fall.
GPA: 3.87 UW, 4.37 W (Focused on APs, graduated with 9)
SAT: 2010 (definately one of the weaker parts of my app)
SAT II: Math IIC-800, Physics - 730
ACT: 35
-> I have worked at an architecture firm for 2 years. I felt my portfolio was pretty lack-luster, except for one project where I completed gutted and redesigned my closet. And even though I'm from chicago, I flew to NY for my interview, spending around $600 for a 1 night/1 day stay.
I got into Cornell ED, as well as Notre Dame, U of I, and Tulane. I had to withdraw about 5 other apps (Stanford, WashU, Northwestern, CMU, Duke) |
