Is something wrong???

My friend applied and he had about a 3.0-3.1 GPA and about an average SAT score, about 1600-1700. (Not sure, just approximating). He got rejected! Whattheheck! I feel really bad for him cuz now he has to go to PCC.

Also, if it helps, he applied to architecture major. And he got a transcript request that he sent in a little late (a week?) But he said there was no deadline. Did that have anything to do with it? Can he appeal?

architecture is extremely competitive at cal poly pomona. The admit % is somewhere like 6%.

OOHHH I see now. Man that sucks... I just looked at the average GPAs and SAT scores and assumed that there was a mistake...

Well thanks anyway KoreanBoi!

yup. there aren't just enough architecture seats available.

Dang... I guess the fact that this is one of the top arch schools doesn't help either. :/

There are only 90 or so architecture seats at CPP. Admission is based on GPA and SAT/ACT ranking. They don't consider Tier 1 or 2 for impacted majors.
