Hello! I’m currently a high school senior and I’d like to plan early what I’d like to do in college. I’ve already applied to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo early decision for Architectural Engineering and I was wondering if I was admitted if it’d be advantageous to double major in architecture and architectural engineering? Especially to take advantage of SLO’s architecture department. I don’t mind if I have to study a year longer for this to happen but I find that many of the classes overlap already. And I have so much AP credit from already passing 6 tests (taking 5 this year) I could probably get out of most of my GE classes anyways. I have an interest in both the design and logic involved in designing a building, but I also want a more well-rounded education as well. From an employers standpoint, could this make me more marketable in the job market? Would you suggest to rather double major in Architecture and Civil Engineering instead? I know it’s hard to change majors in SLO, but I would do so even if it was difficult. I’m very determined in anything that I set my mind to! Any type of input would help! My stats currently in HS are a 3.94 CPSLO (9-11) GPA, 1280 SAT (but I just retook the SAT again today), and 12 AP classes with 7 Honors classes (if you were interested in my course rigor).

Thank you for any replies!!
