Grad School for non Ivy Leaguer
I find it interesting that the majority of academic discussion going on here is in regard to Ivy Schools. I however, am not trying to compete at that level. I will receive a BBA in Business Management from a school with AACSB accredidation and an Arch. Design degree as well. I will graduate with a 3.5 GPA an average GRE score, strong letters of recommendation from architects as well as the chairman of the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners(TBAE), and a strong portfolio(opinions from graduate school professors in Architecture).
I have applied to UT Austin, UT Arlington, University of Houston, UT Knoxville, and IIT(Illinois Institute of Technology). Can anyone give me any information about these schools and how I might fit/not fit. I am applying for a first professional degree on a track with "no architectural background" in that I am not applying for advance placement to get out of studios, but maybe just CAD classes and history considering I have had an extensive amount of each and my teachers told me it is pretty standard everywhere. Thanks
at whatever school you choose get ready to kiss life as you know it bye bye. That first year is especially a killer. After that, you are conditioned and may find time to have a little life outside of studio.
UT Austin and IIT are every bit as competative as any Ivy league school, from what I've heard. Don't know know anything about the others.
goodluck, and try not to plop out after the first semester.
IIT for the March 1 is not as competitive as an Ivy League school, however, it is probably your best choice from what you have listed. Then I would say is UT Austin. Those both draw from a strong group of professors and studio critics.
Good luck where ever you choose!
