@momrath Thank you 
Would the first part of a high school first-year drawing course really be enough to make a significant difference in the portfolio? I understand that the art skills it would help with are useful for a major in architecture regardless of weather or not it helps with portfolio, I’m just curious because you mentioned it as “an opportunity to build a portfolio under academic supervision and hopefully a supplemental reference from an instructor”. I don’t think the instructor and I would become well acquainted in the first part of the year, not enough to ask for a letter of recommendation. My school starts in the last week of August. Also, I don’t think having the grade on my transcript would matter very much since it’s senior year and I plan to apply ED to as many non-binding schools where I find I’m interested in going. I’m fairly certain I couldn’t participate in Jazz Choir outside of class, we do most of our music learning and choreography in class.
I’ll think about switching out Spanish for Drawing and Painting.
Which schools should I consider that would be safety schools for me? I already have Cal Poly as an option, but I’m not super far above their averages, just a little so I’m wondering what I could also consider as a safety school?
Someone who was a senior last year in Jazz Choir went to Williams. He really wanted to go to Harvard, but he’s probably happy at Williams. He’s a lot smarter than I am, though. Kenyon sounds cool. Stats-wise, it seems within my reach and it offers lots of majors I like (economics, math, english, music, sociology). It even offers minors/classes in architectural history and Italian. Kenyon was the only one I looked up tonight since it’s getting pretty late for me, but I’ll be sure to research the other ones too, thank you for your suggestions 
Also, just a general question: How feasible is it to own a dog while going to college? I love dogs, my family has had 7 since I was born, even 4 at a time when I was young, 2 now
