I am a very talented and ambitious student currently applying for an MArch. I want your advice... Which schools can I get into with a 2.51 GPA?
My wishlist schools are Portland State University, MIT, SCI-Arc, Pratt, UMich and Berkeley. I don't think I stand a chance to get into Pratt or UMich, but I'm going to apply anyway.
Please help I don't know if I can really become an architect with my GPA and I am starting to get desperate!

Alina, you won't go very far with that GPA. End of story.

You want to get into.. MIT(!) with 2.50?! Ok.. let us know how that goes 8-)

Mostly realistic.. With 2.50 you won't even get into Portland State that you mentioned.

Notre Dame is a great school to pursue classical architecture. Don’t know about GPA but it seems aligned with your interests.

Youve truly got the winning trifecta combo : Crap School + Crap GPA + (Most importantly) CRAP ATTITUDE.

1/10 for the OP’s attempt.
9/10 for the response.

Oddly enough neither one of degrees used a gpa system.

You need to keep better track of your storylines. Remember "I paid my way into a top school and cheated to graduate. After graduation, I was easily hired at starchitect firms through the school's alumni network."?

You cheated to graduate and only managed a 2.5? So then why can't you buy your way into an M.Arch program?

Hi Alina, I am sorry to say this but your GPA is too low for the schools you are applying to.
Have you thought about Boston Architectural College?

No Alina, I don't think so. As I said, your GPA (and I would imagine your portfolio too) is not sufficient.

AlinaF I wouldn't usually say this but a 2.5 GPA from a school like PSU is a clear indication of a complete lack of academic ability at all levels. I am surprised as to why you still want to continue with an MArch since you clearly didn't take your former studies seriously. Personally, I would never hire a graduate of that low calibre.
