Welcome to the board xchinaboix. If you want to pursue an architecture degree at Cal Poly Pomona, you shouldn't let Math 106 and Physics 121 stop you. Afterall, they are general ed course and if you are afraid to take those course, you are in a lot of trouble down the road. It is your call. College is a learning experience. There are times when you do awful and times when you do extremely well in certain subjects.

I'm going to major in architecture also xchinaboix! I will also be taking MAT106. My math skills are not that great either, I guess we will just have to try hard and do good. You can always get a tutor if you are having a lot of trouble. By the way, were you able to get into ARC150?

There are different views on Farberow. I talked to a graduate student and she said she liked him, but I have heard from others that he is not open to any new ideas at all. Since you didnt get into written communications you should apply to IGE 120. I had that class today. It seems fun. IGE also covers a lot of your general ed areas.

I am going into my fourth IGE class now. IGE220.

Good times.
