I am a senior undergraduate architecture student in Fribourg, Switzerland. I would be interested in applying for a Master of Architecture (accredited programs) at some US schools, but I wonder about how tough it really is to get in.
I will earn a professional Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (1 year internship, 3 year studies) and I believe I have a strong level based on my knowledge of work and study in Switzerland, but I am not sure how different it is in US.
For the moment I made a list of some schools that I am interested and I wonder if it is a realistic one to apply for:
- UC Berkeley
- PennDesign
- Princeton
- University of Texas at Austin
- Iowa State
- IIT Chicago
- Portland State
I will have three letters of recommendation: one design professor, one history professor, one architect at a firm where I worked. And I am now starting to prepare a portfolio for the application. I will take GRE and TOEFL tests at end of August.
I will really appreciate any advice or tips about the application process !
