anonymous alum What NAAB-accredited masters of architecture programs are available for applicants whose undergraduate gpa is below a 3.00? #University {{ 1458395162973+1-1 | date : 'short' }} university college
Eric Allen expert You can start with the NAAB-accredited school search: http://www.naab.org/r/schools/search.aspx From there, it really depends on the school. As you mentioned, some of the better schools do have a minimum requirement of a 3.0, but if you were right on the edge, I would encourage you to reach out to the admissions committee to see if there are any consideration for edge candidates. Some schools are silent on the GPA requirement front, so those are the ones to start with. Obviously, any test scores, your portfolio of design work, work experience, etc. will play a major role in their consideration of you as a candidate, so do the best you can with respect to that. If you want formal assistance with a school search feel free to reach out to me or one of our coaches. I hope that helps. {{ 1458566316468+1-1 | date : 'short' }}
anonymous alum Thanks for the feedback answer. I was aware of the site but they do not publish the undergraduate cutoff marks in one place. Often, I have to call the schools and I racked up a major long-distance phone bill this month doing that. {{ 1459023556420+1-1 | date : 'short' }}
Eric Allen expert I certainly understand that. There is nothing that I'm aware of that would give you that answer outside of reaching out to the schools. Have you tried to just email them - they are pretty good about that. If you want to work with a coach, they can do it for you, but we would essentially do the same thing you would be doing. Hope that helps, either way. {{ 1459168682216+1-1 | date : 'short' }}
