if u want to study archtecture, chemistry will not be important. \nRemember maths and physics are compulsory. doing computing or ict  For a level  will be extremly  helpful . to have peace in your mind please contact one of uni's and ask .  you can check the requirements for your chosen course by searching\nthe uni's web site. \nAs an example u have to get AAB to do computer science in Imperial college london. \n\ngood luck

For architecture schools a lot depends on your grades.  In many schools architecture is the most competitive major.  \n\nBe sure that you go to a school with a 5 year or 4+2 program.  You do not want to be "pre-architecture."  That qualifies you for nothing.  I did a 5 year program at Ball State (good program) but many schools are switching to Masters instead of Bachelors, but honestly, most firms know someone with a 5 year B-Arch is as qualified (sometimes more) then someone with a Masters, so that should not be your guide.  \n\nI agree with the above schools.  But here is my advice on finding a good school.\n\n I'd stay away from "big names."  You need to be taught by real professors in studio classes and not by grad assistants.  Where ever you go look for that.  Also look for a school that leaves the building open 24-7, closing an architecture building at 12 or 1 is a huge pain for students who have to bring drawings and stuff home to finish (all nighters are normal for architure students from year one.)  Look for a school that offers cross displinary minors worked into your cirriculum, so often architecture majors never get to take classes outside their major, pretty depressing.  Look for a school that offers classes on "sustainable" architecture.  \n\nThen get ready to work your butt off.... and have the time of your life...

I am like that too. Always been good at drawing 3D objects, figuring out the shape of parts for building the log cabin, reading maps, etc. I'd say the most obvious career with this skill is architecture, design, or video game development, but biochem is a good paying job too. Just make sure that visual models do play a role in real industry (as opposed to high-school classes).

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Becoming an Architect : A Guide to Careers in Design by Lee Waldrep\n* The Survival Guide to Architectural Internship and Career Development by Grace H. Kim\n* Architect? A Candid Guide to the Profession by Roger K. Lewis\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I saw somewhere that the top architecture schools are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, Notre Dame, Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon, Syracuse, Michigan, Cincinnati, Cooper Union, Georgia Tech, and Cornell. Unfortunately, I don't know the source.\n\nIn one 2003 survey, 148 architectural firm owners and partners were asked which schools best prepared students for the architecture profession. (You'll be happy to know that Syracuse ranked in the top 20).\n\nhttp://www.di.net/article.php?article_id=178\n\nYou might also want to check out the US News & World Report Rankings. On their website, go to "Rankings & Guides" menu. Unfortunately, I think you may have to pay for access.\n\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/home.htm\n\nThere are also a couple of books out:\n\nAmerica's Best Architecture & Design Schools 2006\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Americas-Best-Architecture-Design-Schools/dp/0975565435\n\nGuide to Architecture Schools\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Architecture-Schools-Association-Collegiate-architecture/dp/0935502513/

No, you don't have to be good in drawing.  They will teach you what you need to know.  Architecture is so much more.  One of my sister's has a degree in Architecture.  She took a lot of design classes, architectural engineering classes, art history classes (she has a minor in Art History) and lots and lots of math.  Best thing that you can do is contact the College that you want to attend and have them fill you in on what classes are in the typical degree plan for an architectural major.  Good luck!

You can download a list of colleges accredited by the NAAB - the National Architectural Accrediting Board - at this site:\nhttp://www.naab.org/cal_cat1724/cal_cat.htm\n\nThere are about 60 such schools. Please don't waste your time attending an architecture school that is not accredited by the NAAB.

What school do you want to get into? Do you want to, or just think you should? Is math going to matter that much in the rest of your life? You need basic skills, but most of the stuff you learn in school you never use again, unless you are an engineer or an architect. Seriously. And if you are desperate to learn it, you can take remedial courses. And take a deep breath, it's not worth panicking over.

I wish starting was 40k.  It is on the coasts, but in the middle more around 35.  \n\nArchitecture is its own degree usally requiring 5 or 6 years (never less).  It is often one of the hardest degrees at a university.  For example at the school I went to only 30% of the kids who applied were accepted.  In first year we had 200+ students, we graduated 60.  \n\nHere's a good site: http://architecture.about.com/cs/careers/a/bearchitect.htm

There is no guarantee that I job title will bring in a larger or smaller amount of money. In this case I would have to say the architect, but I am sure that there has been an architect somewhere that has made less than a miscuse, odd as that would be.\n\nArchitecture however, is not to be entered lightly. It is either a 5 or 6 year degree for a BArch or a MArch, followed by 3 years of office internship, and then NCARB ARE testing to become accredited (8 Seperate tests with a pass rate from 66% to 75% per test), and then the licensure process by a state board. After that, you are an architect. I would say that for the time involved and if you are in it mainly for money, pursue one of your other options. Even after all of that work there is no guarantee that you will ever even become prominent enough to get big deals, and in the meantime, you've built up a lot of school debt. \n\nSo enter Architecture cautiously if it is what you want to do, but know that the money will be delayed and may never live up to the "Rich Architect" stereotype. Have a nice day and good luck.
