<p>Interests: ARCHITECTURE!!</p>
<p>Schools: Cornell, Pratt institute, cooper union, Syracuse, cali poly tec, U of Michigan. (please add more schools to this list for me)</p>
<p>I'm interested in architecture as well. why do you want to major in arch.? What is your facination with it? Do you have art that you're submitting to Cornell for the portfolio?</p>
<p>your math score is great, but whats up with the verbal???</p>
<p>most schools would rather see a high verbal than a high math, but at an architecture school it could very well be the opposite. If that's the case you've got a good shot.</p>
<p>my verbal went up to 530. I still didn't get in Barnard.. I began speak english 4 years ago... and l only lived in the U.S. for 2 years. maybe that explain the veral score??</p>
<p>Rice University is pretty good for its architecture.</p>
<p>Texas A&M architecture graduates come out making the most money from that school (but that's not too important if you really want to do architecture).</p>
<p>Rensselaer is good.</p>
<p>Illinois Inst. of Tech. is ok--some famous stuff came out of there: Miesian architecture.</p>
