"I think I've heard that GSD even specifically limits theirs to people with or in the process of obtaining a bachelors."

That is not true. There were two recent high school graduates in last year's program, a guy who is now attending Brown and myself, a freshman at USC. In my studio, there were 2 high school graduates(our photos are featured in this year's brochure), 5 college students and 3 college graduates. Each of us has a very interesting background, that's why our studio is always a magnetic place which inspires people to try something bold and daring. (Usually are not common during the regular school year, at least according to studio instructors) We had folks that are sturctural engineer, mathematician, political campaign manager as well as architectural studies and art history majors. I think the diversity makes the graduate school experience outshines the undergraduate one. Not to mention the hectic schedule which is really ass-kicking.

I would highly recommend the CDisco to those who want to pursue architecture in graduate school. But I have to say that summer has changed me forever. I am no longer the kid who just want to finish a five-year BArch program and join the workforce. For the first time in my life, I sense the philosophical and metaphysical aspects of architecture.
