<p>Hello, my kid will be going to college in Fall 2010..just wanted to find out how NYIT and Drexel rank for undergrad 5 year architecture programs..other schools he plans to apply to are syracuse, njit, pratt (ny), penn state..how do all these schools rank for a student with a 4.0 gpa and lots of extracurricular activities</p>
<p>any ideas/thoughts/tips will be welcome as i am a a newcomer to the entire college process</p>
<p>NYIT and Drexel haven’t shown up on the rankings i’ve looked at (i’m also applying for undergrad architecture), but i’m sure they have a respectable architecture program.</p>
<p>Syracuse’s architecture program used to be top in the country from what my guidance counselor told me, and pratt’s well known as an arts/architecture school. Has he considered cornell/cooper union/risd (although risd’s in ri, not the ny/nj/pa area)?</p>
<p>Compering Drexler with NYIT is an insult to Drexler </p>
<p>P.S. Syracuse is Nation’s top 10 (many people forget that)</p>
<p>you should look into these to articles:</p>

<p>Thanks for your feedback. Yes, but Cooper Union and Cornell are extremely competitive and have alow acceptance rate</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing the links. It appears that Drexel’s program is new as to what I heard. Drexel and NYIT both want him there, and I tried researching it on the internet, but had no luck. yes, he does plan to apply to Rice and UT at Austin as well.</p>
