Good choices?

<p>I am positive that I want to study architecture and need some feedback on my college list:</p>

<p>Reaches: </p>

<p>Yale (#1 likely SCEA)
Rice (#2 by far)
Cornell (Considering)
Slight Reach: UVA (I'm out-of-state)</p>

<p>Matches: </p>

<p>Virginia Tech
Pratt (Considering)
Miami of Ohio (Coinsidering)
U Miami (Considering)</p>

<p>Safties: </p>

<p>Auburn
SCAD</p>

<p>So what do you think?</p>

<p>Is SCAD really a safety? Don't they require a portfolio?</p>

<p>Yes and no. I did a summer program there and have test scores well above average for SCAD, so along with my portfolio (actually optional, which makes no sense) I think I have a really good shot. It is still competitive, of course- please don't misunderstand. Safety is just the most accurate label in my opinion. </p>

<p>BTW- I plan on submitting a portfolio to all the other schools as well. (If they will accept them.)</p>

<p>Oh and I forgot Georgia Tech.</p>
