same lmao

How's it going?

did you get in

🤗

Oh I’m so happy to see comments like this 🤗🤗 feel free to ask me any questions I’d you have any!! Thanks for your support 🥰

Comments like these make my day 🤗 thank you!!

This question “how do you have the determination to become a successful architect” is really making me sit down and ponder my life right now. I didn’t expect such a high quality question to come into my comment section. I did think about engineering but when it came down to it I did not really want to have to deal with physics so much in my future career. I wanted to focus more on the creative side than the technical side of architecture. If I could be in art class for the rest of my life that’s what I would do. However rather than just art, I want art that is more specified with a set purpose and for me that’s architecture.as of right now I’m still trying to think of my end goal. Like yes I want to become an architect but what exactly I’m trying to do with it I am still figuring out. As of right now all I know is that I love buildings, I love designing, and love being part of a creative community, and despite the stress of the major whenever I finally make it to my bed to go to sleep, I’m happy, because I’m having fun. Part of the reason it is also fun is because of the environment I am in, and I am so thankful that it is not a competitive environment but rather an environment where I can learn from other people and we can grow together. But thank you so much for your support 🤗. I feel like I have not fully answered your question as yet but hopefully in the future I can give you a more direct answer.

NAEDAY I’m glad that you gave me this response.. Those kinds of environments are always the ones that are best. You as well make me ponder too especially about the future. I guess the question really differs and is difficult to get a specific answer from but I hope you find what you are looking for. It’s confusing and frustrating to not know what the future brings but knowing others still ponder what they want in life is somewhat comforting.. Thanks again.

OMGG people from Russia have seen my video 😱😱😱 I’m happy to help!!

Привет, не понимаю английский, какие экзамены нужно сдавать?

DID YOU GET IN?!

​@@PavitrStan4Life i forgot i even commented this, but i did, ty for asking!! i got into like 8/13 of the schools i applied to and most required a portfolio, only rejects were ivies and syracuse (which is fine bc when i was in a portfolio making webinar the prof said digital art isn't real art, so -_-), and i'm rly enjoying my school and this major!

The descriptions I read in the video those were my descriptions for my USC portfolio. They had a set word count however I don’t remember how much exactly. And I only had final art pieces in my usc portfolio.

🤗🥰 thank you!!

I’ll see what I can do

Hey, taking physics in high school is not necessary because you will take physics in college. I took AP physics in highschool but never took the exam because I did not feel prepared for it. So I had to take physics in college. I think it’s probably best for you to maintain your average rather than risking it to take physics when you will have the opportunity to take it in college.

NAEDAY THANKK YOUUU !! ❤️❤️

You aren’t expected to know anything about architecture when you study it. They will teach you when you go to college.

@@NAE-DAYbut what can I do in terms of making a portfolio? I definitely can’t draw as good as you. You showed some 3d chairs you made. Could I make some 3d houses out of cardboard?

They aren’t important, I believe the standardized test wasn’t required on the application for Pratt, but I don’t exactly remember

Hey!! So some good extra curriculums would be anything relating to art or technology such as art clubs, art summer programs, robotics clubs for example, also architecture summer programs of course, or summer programs relating to engineering or technology. I’m not sure what contest you are referring to. I did not have to attend any contest. I do have a video about how to apply to architecture school and you can always check that out if she wants to learn more about it.

Thank you! I mean at the end of the day they are different drawings, so they are separate pieces. Even though they may have the same theme (my chairs for example) they each are separate pieces.

As a portfolio

I just made them as part of my AP Art portfolio and then submitted them for my college application portfolio. The college application does not ask for anything specific so you do not have to make a specific piece or anything to apply. If you do art on your own outside of you highschool classes then you can submit any pieces you make. I have also seen people who have not taken art and just make several random pieces in order to apply to architecture

@@NAE-DAY Alright thank youu❤️

I’m going to start it in the fall, because you do have to pay for it (although not a lot). There was no reason for me to start my freshman year when I still don’t know much about architecture. But since I will start internships next year and probably be more prepared to take exams toward my license I will start in the fall.

@@NAE-DAY Is it okay if you could email me: oicalap02@gmail.com. I have a lot of questions and I'm just wondering if you had the time to answer them. I'm currently a rising senior.

Yes, you can use that portfolio. Any work that you did during highschool you can show.

No worries you don’t need to know how to draw to be an architect. I would recommend that you take art classes throughout high school and just know how to develop ideas and maybe try doing 3D art to still build a portfolio for college

@@NAE-DAY Thank you so much!

The smaller ones that were able to fit on a regular scanner I scanned, but for my 3D work and bigger art pieces I just took photos of on my phone

Hi! I did Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus AB (and passed with a 3 on the AP exam). Not sure how important this is to USC, since you take a math placement exam before you start your first year. If you don’t pass that exam then they just add a math class to your schedule. But for applying, you generally want to show that you’ve completed a high enough level of math and probably physics. I hope that helps!

@@NAE-DAY OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Yeah you can put anything art related really. You can do photography as well. However you choose to define art you can put it in.

It is not limited to drawing or painting or architecture models or anything

NAEDAY so art as in like photography, drawing,etc. This is a stupid question but I’m assuming not literary art right? Or can I put in work related to fashion and styling

Yup fashion also counts; drawings; photography; anything visual really. If you mean essays poems when you say literary, no that wouldn’t count

NAEDAY ty!!!

I uploaded images or scans of my work.

Correct, you don’t have to have any architecture related pieces to apply to architecture. I had a couple 3D pieces in mine however I have seen several portfolios from friends in my major and they only had drawings and paintings (none of which were related to architecture).

NAEDAY thank you so much!!

You can use the ones you did at home

@@NAE-DAY Ok good thank you very much.

Girl you already know 🤗❤️❤️

I hope as a “super talented art baby” you can remember that all art is subjective

That I am not too sure. It might be possible but I really don’t have any idea

It’s SCAD Rising Star, yes it is a summer program

@@NAE-DAY thank u

You don’t have to be artistic and not all architecture students can draw. You will learn how to do technical drawings which does not require artistic skills

On slide room I believe once you click the photos you uploaded there should be space to write a description. But it may depend on the schools application cause it can differ

When I was in high school applying to college I submitted these pieces for my college applications.

Email. For me I knew I wanted to intern somewhere different than where I lived so I looked at all the cities that I had close family members in that could possibly give me residence and then I googled architecture firms in that area. Going on their websites I looked for a contact email or their staff to see if there was someone more specific I could contact. After emailing, I got a few responses, many no’s, sometimes no responses and then one inquiry. With the inquiry and also no email responses i then made phone calls and then finished the business with emails when I finally got a positive response from the inquiry and BAM 💥 internship. You just have to be persistent. Outline in emails the goals and purpose for the internships you want and kindly ask if they can take you on. (Bigger firms that have several branches all around the world tend to be nicer with taking interns cause they have money; I didn’t get paid for my internship but there was an option to). I interned at CannonDesign in their branch in Toronto for more of a reference.
