<p>So from what I’ve read from the Architecture threads and other threads is the importance to have something that sets you apart from the rest. I was recently accepted into an Architecture Apprenticeship Program sponsored by the Allegheny Intermediate Unit’s Gifted Program and Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation. From what I have heard students will complete a site-specific design project,meet with architects, and visit Carnegie Mellon University Architecture Program and work with their Grads. I’m not gonna run through my stats but in general I have an A Average, 3.9 UW GPA, lots of AP’s, 1380/1600 SAT, pretty much the same as all other students applying to architecture schools. Do you think this Apprenticeship program could be a difference maker and make my application stand out or am I just hopeful?</p>
<p>It should help you with your application, why wouldnt it? Ive never heard of the program, I dont live near Pennsylvania, but colleges will definitely see your interest in architecture.</p>
<p>Of course it will help, but your great grades and SAT scores and demanding program are also important. Enjoy the program!</p>
