<p>schools that require a portfolio for admission tend to focus on the portfolio far more than academic grades (though competitive programs will want good grades and a good portfolio). keep in mind however, most of the work you will do in architecture has very little math and very little physics. most of the time you will be in studio creating ideas and designing…so professors look for creative candidates more than anything. failing physics isn’t a major blow to your chances…just really focus on your portfolio</p>
