<p>I have a friend that wants to apply to UT austin's architecture school.. is that extremely competitive? The ranking is really high for their architecture school.. </p>
<p>Also, she lives here in the US, but she's not a permanent resident yet, so will she have to apply as an international?</p>
<p>also, will she need a portfolio when she applies as an undergraduate?</p>
<p>any opinions anybody? Is there an architecture section of cc that I'm missing? sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.. :)</p>
<p>try posting in the UT board</p>
<p>there are a couple architecture threads started that have lots of people reading them. look under "college majors"--"other college majors" and there are a couple, something like "condensed architecture" and some kind of just architecture one. : ) sorry, but I can't answer any of your questions.</p>
<p>Umm, I got in with the following:</p>
<p>2170 SATI, 760/740/760 SAT II's (m1/US/Lit)
3.3 UW GPA (!), 4.1 w
59/725</p>
<p>I'm also in-state</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the school of architecture has the highest average SAT score of any school at UT, around a 1360; </p>
<p>It's a really great program</p>
<p>I didn't send a portfolio in, but it couldn't hurt, and for OOS'rs/foreigners, you really need all the help you can get.</p>
<p>they return all portfolios as specified on website. if your stats are good enough there should be no worries because that's all they ask for.</p>
