Is a 3.42 GPA at UC Berkeley good enough to apply to Architecture Grad School?

I'm in high school (sophomore), and I would like to share some questions. Q1. How many years of college should I take to become an architect?

A1) The professional B. Arch degree is a five year degree and offered at relatively few universities. The typical professional degree is the M.

Arch which is a three year graduate degree, that a student pursues after earning a Bachelor's. The Bachelors degree can be in any subject. If a Bachelor's is earned in Architecture or Civil Engineering, then the M.

Arch can usually be earned in two years. Q2. Is it possible to apply for an international scholarship (in America) -My GPA is of 93%.

(Please translate into American GPA) http://inquiry.princetonreview.com/leadg... The conversion above is not that relevant since there can be far different levels of grade inflation. Class rank and the competitive level of the school are going to be more relevant factors. -I can speak both English and Spanish -I got one of the highest scores in the SAT (More than the 90%) -I go to an expensive private school in Honduras A2) Well Endowed private universities often do not distinguish between domestic and international students when awarding financial aid from private sources.

Public universities will not award financial aid to undergraduate international students that are present in the country legally. Some public universities award state but not federal financial aid to international students who are present in the country illegally and graduated from a high school in the state. Q3.) If I do not take the opportunity of getting a scholarship, how much money per year the university?

- Community college, university? Dorms? Campus programs?

Supplies? - Universities in Maryland A3) Community College costs vary widely. California community colleges are practically free for state residents and cost as much for international students as community colleges cost for state residents of some states, around $6,000 per year.

University costs vary widely depending on public or private and state resident or out of state. International students pay out of state tuition rates. Private colleges cost the same regardless of whether a student is a state resident or an out of state of international student.

Also offer private financial aid, often without respect to citizen status. Out of state at a Public University can cost from around $20,000 to $34,000 per year tuition. At private universities from around $25,000 to $40,000 tuition however, if a student qualifies for private financial aid, the cost could be much less.

Those figures do not include living expense. The most well endowed colleges are usually also the most highly selective in admissions, extremely selective, but they like to have International students. For instance, Brown is not the most selective but only 17% of students with a perfect 800 Sat Math were admitted.

Brown does not offer a B. Arch degree. http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admi... A private university that offers a B.

Arch and is relatively well endowed is Carnegie Mellon. USC offers a B. Arch degree but is often not very generous with financial aid, and is not located in the nicest area of Los Angeles like UCLA.

UCLA does not offer a B. Arch degree. My suggestion is to apply to Berkeley in Architecture or Civil Engineering and then go for the combined M.

Arch/M Structural Engineering degree. The application deadline for the Fall 2012 for all UC's is always November 30. Berkeley has significantly increased the number of out of state students in the last three years going from around 10% to around one third of the freshman class.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
