<p>misstrwbrylvr, admission into the architecture school is about talent, talent, and talent. While you do have to submit your grades and test scores, it’s all about the vision that you have, how creative you are and how well you can express that on paper (or any other medium). If you have an outstanding portfolio, you will be accepted regardless of grades. Admission into the engineering school, however, is more about grades than anything else.</p>
<p>Cooper isn’t easy (for any of the majors). Those that graduate are usually pretty passionate and enjoyed the work they did. Sure it may be tiring and stressful at times, but it’s all manageable. Have good time management skills, know how to prioritize things, and be smart about your approach to work and you’ll be fine. I knew plenty of people who had part-time jobs / internships during the school year and still had time for fun.</p>
