Ok so, Uchicago has everything that I want EXCEPT for architecture. I heard that there are unis that provides pre architecture classes, for those who would like to pursue an architecture degree afterwards? I’m not so sure tbh. And since my case is very special, only uchicago is accepting my circumstances, so I don’t really have options. What should I do? Should I just pursue an architecture degree in my country or go to uchicago liberal arts? Please help!

what are you saying?-you are starting there in a few weeks?
No, I’m sorry I didn’t explain that properly. I mean that they accept that I don’t have SATII subjects test and other special circumstances and that I’m eligible to apply. I didn’t even apply this year, I’m intending to go next year and change majors from architecture (which I’m starting this year at a uni in my country), to liberal arts at Uchicago, which they also agree to. But what I’ll be missing is architecture. But what I love about uchicago is the variety of subjects I get to study, from literature to science to art, it’s all very interesting to me, and I feel like it’s very suitable to my personality and interests.
" I’m intending to go next year and change majors from architecture (which I’m starting this year at a uni in my country), to liberal arts at Uchicago, which they also agree to."
So let me get this straight- you are going to be applying as a TRANSFER student, and think you will have a good chance of acceptance?? If you enroll at another university then you will be considered to be a transfer applicant.
Most elite US colleges accept FAR, FAR fewer transfer students than Freshman, simply because the only openings for transfer students occur because students leave before graduation- something that is very rare at the best private colleges. I think Chicago enroll an average of 40 transfer students each year, vrs 1000+ freshman.
I think you need to rethink your strategy and perhaps not start university in your own country if you want to graduate from a US college.
There are hundreds of colleges in the US that offer BOTH architecture degrees and Liberal Arts programs- University of Southern California is one. And they DO accept many transfer students and international students as well.
