| It all depends- your GPA is quite low- for my school elites anyway- and your SAT borderline-ok for Cornell architecture. You would have to have one of the best portfolios out there and it is possible that you do. A great portfolio can definitely make the difference and one of the things over the summer that I always heard the architecture professors saying is that sometimes the borderline applicants have been the most successful at the school. Secondly- I wouldn't say Cornell is far and away the "best"- it definitely has some shortcomings and DI also has serious flaws in the way it ranks schools- If you are looking for a pack of great schools I would suggest others as well such as- Rice, University of Cincinnati - Cooper Union, Sci-arch + a few others. Also, I know if Cheers ever weighs in on this- he would say that you should think about where you want to work in the future as a determination for where to apply. |
