I’ll look into non-architecture programs, academically rigorous LACs sound great. I’ll also look for some super reach schools like Pomona and UCB, maybe even Brown if I can get my scores up (I know it goes against my weather requirement, I’ve just always been semi-interested in Rhode Island for no particular reason. Maybe because it’s small and I like small things).
The varying backgrounds of students admitted to Yale is reassuring. It even varies in terms of time between degrees, which I find to be very pleasing since it shows how many options there are. Could an architectural internship be completed between the undergraduate and graduate degree, even without an undergraduate degree in architecture? That seems like a good option since it could give experience while helping pay for grad school (I know I shouldn’t be worrying about grad school right now, it’s just a thought that came to mind).
Yes, I do need 5 years of Spanish at my school in order to get to the lowest level of Spanish deemed to be AP (at which point you can choose Spanish Language or Spanish Literature, of which I choose Spanish Language without a second consideration). Maybe my school is just exceptionally slow. I’ve always felt like my Spanish classes were slow. I could not take an art studio class at my school next year; the only art studio class offered at my school is AP Studio Art, which I can’t get into without prior experience. The most applicable class I could take is called “Drawing and Painting”. Would that class at my high school be better than a drawing class at an adult school (offered at beginner levels through advanced levels, depending on how quickly I progress I guess. It’s not free, but it’s cheap enough to ignore the price)? The “adult school”, which doesn’t really have to be for adults, and my local art center also offer various art classes like painting, watercolor, etc. These classes are short/low-stress enough to where I could take several of them throughout my senior year.
