Ok, here’s the deal. My first choice was to go to UCLA, under their Architectural Studies Program. But unfortunately I was rejected . So, now, I will be attending UCSD this upcoming Fall 2011.

Obviously my interest lies in architecture and design.
The two majors I know of that are somewhat related to architecture in UCSD is Urban Studies and Planning (which is the major I am currently under) and Structural Engineering.

This is my dilemma:
Since I prepared myself for Architectural Studies for UCLA & Urban Studies & Planning for UCSD (which required no Calc. class before transferring), my skills in math may be a little rusty. But I will still be taking Calculus eventually because I will be going to Revelle College (that requires Calc & Physic as part of their GE reqs).

What should I do?
Stay at USP? … or Switch to SE?

Another thing I want to mention is that if I stay under USP, I will graduate in 2 years. For SE, 3 year+/- (which is not ideal)

I also plan to apply to graduate school (to attain a Masters of Architecture), which I know requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 — pre-reqs of Calc & physics. [another 2.5-3 years]

What do I do?
Is there anyone in the same boat as I am?
