hi students,...…..please work with your counselors or the ACE program if you need to meet with the ELAC architecture department or with our engr. and tech. department at East Los Angeles College, you all are doing great for zooming with us all,

If anyone has a question, can you please post it to the chat box? Thank you!

Can the speakers talk about learning method during the pandemic? Are you all doing distance learning? If yes, how are students doing with such a hands-on discipline like architecture? Thanks.

Thanks for the question! Keep them coming!

ELAC is fully online, with some courses face to face, in surveying the students borrow the equipment and they learn by doing via zoom while modeling the instructor

good question by the way,

please check out ELAC's architecture department if you are interested in attending a CC first, please work with your counselors if you need to make contact, or feel free to send me an email if you need to get connected, gallegha@elac.edu, Humberto Gallegos

Since USC is a private university and tuition is expensive, how likely are students getting scholarships after they are admitted? Are they merit based or need based?

Otis welcomes ELAC transfers at junior-level! See the attached file.

Thanks for all the questions, students, and for all the great info, colleges!

Go Bruins!

thank you Linda for the transfer information from ELAC to your school, that's a lot of courses, Students, please work with our counselors to set up an ED. PLAN at our school...

How can students stand out on applications?

Colleagues and ACE students! Thank you for the opportunity to share our different opportunities. I will need to excuse myself at 5:10 for another appointment. If wanted to share two things: if you have further questions about Cal Poly, you can contact me via email mcabrinh@calpoly.edu. AND, I forgot to share our Architecture Summer Career workshop which I run in the summer. We will be online again this summer, last year was amazing online!. If you are interested, please sign up on our email interest list here: https://architecture.calpoly.edu/about/summer-career

thank you Mark,

Thank you!

Sirajum: great question! Cal Poly admissions greatly recognizes that not all students have AP course opportunities, and in fact community college course count as AP courses for Cal Poly admissions AND, if you take one semester of math in a community college it will count as a full year. Many of our students applying will have 5+ years of math, and that is one way of doing it.

If you have taken courses at a CC as a K-12 student, you are eligible for advisement from these schools, they can provide you with information with an ED. PLAN, basically a road map, you can take advantage, just have your school ID ready to provide the counselor with

Thank you! Mark

Why does it take so long to get your architecture license?

took me x3 tries to get my PE, Kent was able to get his SE during his first try......

Have to jump to another meeting. Amazing presentations, thank you all!

I'll let Mr. Hamner know, thanks Justin,

@ Piper: please don’t let that discourage you. It just happens that as people get engaged in practices, they ironically don’t necessarily prioritize to take the eam. All accredited schools are equal in the requirements for licensure. It is up to graduates as well as their internship experience categories to take the ARE (exam). I have a student that graduated two years ago and just passed the exam! So you can do it if you want to, don’t let that discourage you, its just a matter of priorities, not a question of difficulty.

Oh ok thanks

It sounds like Math classes (esp. Calculus) are important for admission. One school mentioned Physics and Chemistry. What are the important subjects high school students should definitely take in order to get in architecture school?

Also, you can still practice architectural design without an architecture license - if you want to talk more about it feel free to reach out aaron.gensler@woodbury.edu

What are some things besides grades and test scores that we can do to Raise our chances in getting into colleges?

I have taken some graphic design classes

Thank you for all your answers. Very helpful.

What are some skills to practice now that'll help when planning to attend an art school?

Ok, thank you, that was very helpful
