I am preparing my application for M.Arch 1 and MLA 1 programs for entry in fall 2020. Since I am from a non-design background, I wanted to hear your thoughts on my chances based on the information below and any suggestions in the narrowed down school list. Are there any schools I should include that I haven't?
24 / F / International
Undergraduate BA Highest Honors (Social science/humanities subjects)/ Liberal Arts College in the US
GPA 3.91 GRE V 160, Q 157, W 5.5
Selected work experience:
- Participated in two design and build programs (one of which won an AIA award)
- Team member for an international design competition (won first place in our category)
- Worked at a museum for a year in a curatorial capacity
- Did an intensive summer design course
- Other social science research-intensive projects funded by competitive grants
I also have some experience with drawing, printmaking, and GIS.
Portfolio: In progress, will post it when I have a draft.
I am interested in vernacular architecture and postcolonial cities. I also hope to study in an environment that encourages independent research.
