@momrath, thank you. I do plan to go to a summer program near me next summer and I also plan to take an architectural drafting class that my high school offers. I’m only worried that if I don’t get accepted into Rice’s architectural school, what should I do from there? I haven’t done a portfolio before and don’t know what colleges will expect of us.
@makemesmart, I am a pretty stubborn and ambitious person. I really think architecture will be a good choice for me and I don’t mind the sleepless nights and challenges that I know will happen. As soon as I had considered the choice, it just clicked into my heart like a piece of a puzzle, if you know what I mean.
Thing is that for finance, if I go to MIT, then my parents wouldn’t need to buy a new house because my aunt has a house there but college costs more. If I go to RICE, then they will have to buy a new house although college will cost less. That’s why I said finance wouldn’t affect my choice for it will be around the same.
Could you tell me more about the different degrees? I’ve never thought about that before. Also, if in a few more years I don’t get accepted to either school, what are some other good schools for architecture?
