My DD 17 wanted to be an Arch. for 4 years, went to camps at VT and loved it. She has a good GPA but lacks rigor. SAT scores around 70th % tile, so not super competitive. We have zeroed in on some less competitive programs. The we went to a disastrous open House at UNCC when one of the Arch professors, told them there are not many jobs and you can always be an actor with your degree. she is having heavy doubt about her life plan at the moment and we are starting applications today. Anyways, she had the opportunity to try Graphic Design this summer and loved it to. she will be applying to separate colleges for arch and Graphic Design and we will see where it leads her. It is so important to explore some other options, just in case. Some wonderful related majors without all the Arch work are Graphic Design, Interior Design/Arch, Landscape Design, even illustration and video game design on her list
