<p>Some of the schools I'm planning on applying to for architecture include Rice University, Cornell University, UT-Austin and Cooper Union. All of them are for regular decision.</p>
<p>I have automatic admission into UT Austin, but that's no guarantee on whether or not I'll be able to get in their architecture school. I know that all of these schools are very competitive and the portfolios/interviews weigh a lot for Rice and Cornell and the studio test for Cooper Union is crucial, but I was wondering on what my chances would be not including those things.</p>
<p>My portfolio will cover a variety of things including still life, literature to art interpretations, sculptures, architectural models, sketches/thought processes. My college essay won't be too shabby either.</p>
<p>SAT I: 2080
SAT II: U.S. History: 720, Spanish: 740, Math I: Pending</p>
