Hi Everybody,

I'am a structural building engineer in Canada (working for one of the biggest engineering firm in the world, but i know that does not matter for admission in grad arch school) and i would like to apply to a Grad School in Architecture.

1- First question
I would like to see some exemples of Portfolio for the M.arch I with the same background as mine - Are some of u been accepted to top arch grad school with this background (civil engineer ... ) ??
Can u share ur Portfolio???
I'am very good in free hand drawing and drafting, i really don't like 3D rendering...do i have to absolutly include 3D rendering of stuff like that?
What will make my portfolio like Whhoooaaaaooww with my background ?


2- I heard about new changes in the GRE. Do you guys knows those changes and how it's gonna affect admissions ?
I took the GRE last year but my score was poorr in the verbal section and writing section cause i am not a first english speaking person (Q:700; V:260 W:2).
Is it worth to take in again?

3- I'm very interested in Organic architecture (like Franck Lloyd Wright style); earth architecture. What is the school where i can fit my interest the best?

Thx all
