a lil help on what you need for a march II
So here's the deal: my undergrad in architecture offers a BA and BS in architecture. The BS is designed for the "4 + 2" and means I'd take structures and building systems, whereas for the BA I'd take studio but not some of the more technical courses my last year (I am a rising senior). They keep telling me that to go to grad school for 2 years I absolutely have to have a BS or they will put me in with people who have no architecture exposure whatsoever. Does anyone in grad school know if this is the case in general, or does it vary by school? Would you recommend taking those 3 or so classes if it means saving semester or two of grad school and the $$ that goes along with it? Or is it really just the portfolio that's important...I keep on getting conflicting information about this...thanks!
I think it depends on the school. I have a B.A in architectural studies and some universities require a 2 year masters others a 3 year master but they waive courses that I have already taken.

will you give me entry access?
why pay grad prices for undergrad classes?
it varies from school to school.
take U.C. Berkely for example

they say all you need to get in the M.Arch II
is a B.A., B.S, or B.E.D.....
So it depends on the school.....
Look at it this way.. What Grad Schools do you want to apply to...look at what there requirements are then decide from that information....
Good Luck
Most schools that offer the March 2, will look at your transcripts and require you to meet certain basic levels. Even though I had a BS, some of the schools I was accepted to wanted me to take additional coursework over the summer to put me in the right place to start their program in the fall. I would say take the BS route, as it is most likely to put you ahead, but it won't guarantee anything, you still may need to take additional coursework anyway.

Thanks for the responses...I guess this really has to do with the underlying Philosophy About The Point Of An Education etc etc and whether I should spend time and money on african dance and creative writing while i still can or just try to get ahead (and save money). Sigh.
Recently I experienced my March XXXI.
