<p>Hi, I'm currently a sophomore in high school,
hoping to go to Cooper for Architecture (2014).</p>
<p>I have a GPA of 3.72 as of last semester, probably going to end this semester with all A's,
hoping to end my high school career with over 3.9.
I got like 3 B's all together, but they were all high B's (93% average)
I'm taking all gifted(honors) classes, and
I ranked 37 out of like 600 kids in my grade up to last semester (cumulative ranking)
Scored 5 in AP Human Geography exam (although its completely useless)</p>
<p>I barely have any ECs: BETA club this year, along with TSA(technology student association).
I did get an honorable mention in regional science fair this year,
I volunteered @ a Korean school as an assistant teacher for a year,
went to several mission trips(Haiti)/summer volunteering opportunities.
Hoping to be in NHS next year, maybe joining the soccer team.</p>
<p>I'm taking Architecture I in high school but the class is completely useless to be honest.
I'm planning to move to a better school, and my school is getting rid of architecture next year.
Also planning to be more involved in extracurricular activities,
hoping for a dual enrollment program (part-time college) and internship.
Taking AP Physics B, maybe even C and AP Calc AB, with bunch of other AP classes.</p>
<p>So the question is,</p>
<p>What would I have to do to shape myself up for Cooper Architecture?</p>
<p>and how much Architecture/Art skills do I have to have?</p>
<p>I've worked with Autodesk Revit/Inventor, but not much of AutoCAD.
I'm not really good at freehand drawing and sketching,
but I do have great thoughts and ideas on the design side, not to be cocky.</p>
<p>I would really appreciate it if you guys give me some advice :)</p>
<p>sorry for another post :( I feel like I posted the thread in the wrong place</p>
