It’s a non-portfolio school so they look strictly at grades. Guess they figure they can teach anyone to design a building or product.

Well, your stats are in the meaty part of the curve for architecture. You have a decent shot. That said, it’s a small program so its very competitive, no one can really tell you more than that.

It’s a big program with a lot of seats compared to other programs so you’ll be fine. The biggest newest building on the Smithsonian Washington DC Mall was designed by a graduate of the North Carolina State Design School. You should apply there also.

Update: my act regular score is now a 32

i had similar stats as far as volunteer hours, GPA, and ACT. I got in ED and I’m OOS, so you should have a good shot.
