Hi everyone :) I am applying to M.ARCH I programs. I have a BA in international relations and journalism, and four years post-grad I am finally making the decision to pursue architecture following a lifelong love of architecture and design. I have been contemplating this for many years, and I'm finally deciding to go for it. I would love some advice in regards to pre-reqs. I don't have any advanced (or even basic) university coursework in calculus, physics, etc. I know a lot of programs have summer workshops prior to the fall semester beginning. Would love some advice on whether you think my lack of relevant coursework will impact my application, or perhaps if completing relevant pre-req following an acceptance (hopefully) will suffice.
Thank you :)

Don't worry too much about the pre-reqs - they will not impact your applications, and when you hopefully get in somewhere you can just complete whatever school-specific ones before enrolling!
The most important part of the application is the portfolio, so put your time and energy towards that. Good luck!
