<p>I am now most likely to go to U of MN because I didn't get into architecture at U of IL at Chicago (UIC). I can't switch colleges this year because it's too late. I basically have to waste a year of my life and tuition. I really want to settle in Chicago though. If I study architecture at UofMN, will it be easy to get a job in Chicago? Or another alternative is, I study a year at U of MN, see how it goes and then transfer to UIC. Will I be able to continue my pre-architecture studies?</p>

<p>For architects, I do have to go to grad school right? Or at least to get a better job oppurtunity.</p>

<p>Personally i would say you r thinking too much.
And i dont think it sounds right to go to a school with the mindset of transferring out,yet u havent even started plus to even go further and say that you will be wasting your time and money is an insult to those who will be pursuing the same major.
last year alone 88% of students returned for fall 2008

Sorry if i said too much but it just had to be said.</p>

<p>i really don’t have the intention to transfer but my parents want me to transfer to UIC.</p>

<p>You got into UMN architecture but not UIC? That is very surprising to me… Where do you live?</p>

<p>i didn’t apply to UIC architecture, I applied for Liberal Arts & Sciences. When I first applied to UIC, my tutor told that I should apply to Liberal Arts & Sciences because I have a better chance to get into the school. I don’t know why, I acted stupid and followed what she said. Everyone else confirmed it, even my counselor. So, I thought it was all good. I should’ve just applied to the school of architecture at UIC, because I think I would’ve gotten in easily. But I wasn’t thinking clearly. So now it’s too late to switch colleges.
I live in the northshore suburbs of Chicago.</p>
