<p>Fallinwater,
If you are serious about being an architect, I’d suggest you read more about the field. The ACSA link I cited earlier is a good starting point. It also has a very informative section for high school students on how to prepare for a career in architecture.</p>
<p>First of all, there is no such thing as a top architecture school for undergraduates. Architecture is a 5-year or 6-year professional program. If you quit after your bachelor degree, you will not be able to get certified.</p>
<p>There are quite a few architecture rankings around. You should be aware that they don’t all agree…it depends on what kind of architecture training you prefer. Here’s one from DesignIntelligence (<a href=“http://architecture.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=architecture&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.di.net%2Farticle.php%3Farticle_id%3D178[/url]”>http://architecture.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=architecture&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.di.net%2Farticle.php%3Farticle_id%3D178</a>).</p>
