<p>Syracuse was ranked #4 this year in DI (design intelligence). Notre Dame and Penn State are both in the top ten. You need a portfolio for Syracuse, but not Penn State unless you're borderline (I think). If your grades are good, Penn State will take you in a heartbeat. I feel like both of those programs are def. computer heavy, but their sizable student bodies and a B.arch degree from either of those places is certainly respectable.</p>

<p>I don't know much about the others, though.</p>
