dpc1192, From what we learned as our s started looking into many schools, architecture overall is a very competitive major to be accepted into. I think this holds true with most schools. Virginia Tech (which we were told at orientation had the #1 undergrad ranking from DesignIntelligence for 2008- Go Hokies! (I’m teasing - the ranking stuff is such a PR thing) We were also told that VT had over 1000 applications for 150 spots for incoming freshman this year. It is a beautiful school and our kid was wowed by their facilities.

Be sure to take a look at the ones you consider and don’t go just by the rankings or hearsay. If you are like our guy, the right school will kind of let itself be known to you as you spend a half day/day there. Good luck to you!
