I am interested in Architecture, probably B.Arch programs however I am open!
I have already retaken the SATs and am hoping for improved scores, however they are not currently available.
I have been looking at PSU, Syracuse, UofM, Cornell, Tulane, Virginia Tech, UT Austin, USC.
I know some are reaches; I am a legacy at Cornell (2 Grandparents, Aunt, Mom).
My high school also has a grade deflation issue–nobody in the past decade (from what I’ve heard) has graduated with an unweighted 4.0.
I am a white female.
Any help/suggestions are welcome! Thank you!
