I know most of you would say"you never try, you never know"
but i wanna get some advice about apply for M.Arch.
I'm 29 yrs M. Single. just graduated last year, (since I didn't go to highschool). major in Interior Design, GPA.3.0. 3years part time work experiences.
how are my chances to getting into top those architecture school?
(like Columbia, UCLA)?
Its really tough to say what you're chances are. There's no way to say what every school is looking for in an applicant. I was accepted to some schools with scholarships that I think were better than other schools that wait-listed me. I definitely agree with the never try never know stance.
Also, I know a lot of people post on these threads about how great Ivies are and I mean no disrespect when I say this, but they aren't always worth the money. If you're really serious about becoming a licensed architect and want to get a masters degree, don't limit yourself to the "top tier" schools. Every university has professors who can push you and its really what you put into the work that matters. I'm from DC and plenty of people I went to undergrad with at the University of Maryland work side by side with people that payed 200k to go to an Ivy League school.

I've heard portfolio's are the #1 thing schools look at...so a lot depends on that.
