<p>Why bother taking the SAT, if you have a 36 ACT. You have nothing to gain.</p>

<p>You will probably get into them all, with the possible exception of Cooper Union, because of its miniscule acceptance rate.</p>

<p>However, I presume that if you apply for architecture, these schools will want to see evidence of your talent. </p>

<p>But it appears you have good work you can show them.</p>

<p>By the way, my brother studied architecture at Cooper Union, albeit 35 years ago.</p>

<p>I’d say you’re safe at all of them. However, Cornell and Rice get a lot of applicants with similar stats, so I wouldn’t say sure bet. Cooper Union, like mentioned before, accepts no one, so that one wouldn’t be a sure bet either.</p>
