<p>LOL, I definitely picked up on the irony of the architecture building when I visited Cornell, too. Thanks to everyone for replying, that definitely answers my questions…though I can’t understand how I missed that information on the website! I didn’t know that the B.Arch was looked down upon…I met with a director of the Arch Dept. while I was at Cornell and she told my that employers viewed the two degrees equally. Oh well, what’s another two years anyway? 
So, I have a question for those of you who have applied, at Princeton, do you apply directly to the School of Arch (and therefore submit a portfolio), or do you just apply to Princeton as a whole? Thanks, Kristin</p>
