My son also applied for Architecture and is still waiting as well! Feeling nervous as this is his first choice and have seen some Reddit posts that there are people who have already received admission notices this evening for Architecture

Our daughter and our two closests friends sons got into SLO today, such a relief to get to just celebrate. She really was impressed during the our and how engineering is learning by doing. Congratulations on your accomplishments, all!

Lots of nerves over here, too. I was hoping maybe Architecture wasn’t part of this wave of acceptances. Hang in there and best of luck to your son.

Was wondering about SLO because they recommended 5 years for English/Math.
S25 decided to not taking extra year of Math nor English just for SLO. He was already studying some APs on his own outside of school and took Calc BC before senior year. Just didn’t seem necessary since our school doesn’t offer higher math than Calc BC. Same with English. I wasn’t sure if this decision would have hurt his chance but it worked out for S25 with high rigor than the # of years.
