<p>Because it is an intense 5-yr. Bachelor or Architecture program, Syracuse Architecture places great weight on the quality of your portfolio, and your demonstrated commitment to architecture as a course of study and a career. Your stats look fine, but your portfolio, essays and interview will be the deciding factors.</p>

<p>goomer - you should look into Kansas State University for Architecture. I don’t know anything at all about Syracuse, but K-State is very well respected. They have a 5 year masters program now, and even for OOS students it is extrememly affordable. I was there quite awhile ago, but loved it. Also, it’s probably driving distance versus a flight (Syracuse) to compare the two.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
