Cal Poly admissions is very numbers driven, based mostly on sophomore & junior yearend grades of your UC a-g classes, and CR & M SAT score. So… do everything you can to boost your grades in your current classes, also study for and re-take the CR & M SAT this summer to increase those scores. They do give you a boost if you have a summer job and a double boost if it’s in a related field. You can confirm this info yourself at the Cal Poly website and the CSMentor site (you should scour both). There is also a Cal Poly SLO forum on this site where you can post questions.</p>

If you go for architecture and you take AP Calc and/or AP Physics next year, and do well you can get credit for both and won’t have to re-take them at SLO. The architecture department will look at the coursework you’ve chosen including your senior year courses as part of admissions. They like to see calc and physics. </p>

If you want architecture by way of a CC->Cal Poly SLO, you’ll have to go to Cuesta College where they have a transfer program with SLO. Go check out Cuesta.</p>
