A drafting class would be good. Other than that, just make sure you have good grades and do well on standardized tests. Having as advanced math as possible will help, and English is needed in just about every career. However, nearly anything that your high school might lack can be made up in college. You just want to get into a good college...

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. The first thing they make you learn when you go to an art/design school is how to draw. Good news is, ANYBODY can learn how to draw well. It's simply a mechanical thing. You don't need a "talent" for it. So if ad. design is where your heart is. Go for it!

School, internship, tests.  There are various architectural associations which will have specific answers for you.  Also it depends on which country you're in and what kind of architect you want to be.

international baccalaureate.\n\nit's similar to the AP (advanced placement college level) courses offered in high school.

There are.  The requirement is usally a degree in architecture.  The job description is long hours and lots of CADD drawing.

Take plenty of math and science - all sciences. Of course health classes. If your HS has any physiology, kinesiology and anatomy AP classes take them too.

Not really, a good school will have the proper classes required for you to take.  Perhaps if you are still in highschool, check with the local police department see if they have an explorer organazation, it's a group that's in the BSA organazation.  I was involved as a youth, it gives you a good perspective of police work.

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.

There are only 4 accredited architecture programs in IL:\nIllinois Institute of Technology\nJudson College\nUniversity of Illinois at Chicago\nUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nArchitecture programs seem to rely on DesignIntelligence for ranking but it's a bit pricey.  You can find more info here: http://www.di.net/archschools/schools.html

You have two roads to take at a regionally accredited College. There are 5 regions in the US. Most any school that is affiliated with the State or University system will be regionally accredited. University of Mississippi is regionally accredited as is California State. \n\nThe first road covers those classes that all regionally accredited colleges have agreed that every student will accomplish. These are called "General education Requirements" and they will cover roughly half of your entire college credits. Classes like Math, English, History, Science...what you might consider "core courses".\n\nThe second road covers those classes that lead you to the degree you wish to obtain. It's called a "Major" ... as in major course of study. These "major" related courses will be the other half of your college effort. If you wish to be an Architect...your "major" might be Architectural Design.\n\nMy suggestion is...don't necessarily worry too much about the major you wish to have...take the classes for your General Ed. requirements first.\n\nAnd have fun...college is awesome!

If you are planning on studying for a degree in Architechture (or related subject) then you could easily check the admission requirements to these courses. Many courses have a prefered combination of A-Level subjects.\nYou should also consider course content to see if Chemistry is a large part of the work - different Universities will have different course content.\nTo begin this research have a look at the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) site:

Maybe....some places offer it.\n\nhttp://www.career-edu.com/high_school.htm

I would actually recommend Brown University. They have some amazing writing programs, both in journalism and creative writing. By enrolling at Brown, you're also eligible to take classes at Rhode Island School of Design (on the same hill, and one of the best art colleges in the country). (You're eligible to take Brown classes if you attend RISD, but RISD's program is not flexible enough in many cases to allow for much exploration beyond your degree program)\n\nThat would be my first choice. I'd recommend calling these other art colleges and requesting a catalog:\n\nArt Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA)\nCalifornia College of Arts & Crafts\nCalifornia Institute of the Arts\nSchool of Visual Arts (New York, NY)\nArt Institute of Chicago\n\nAs soon as you choose a school, I would contact the financial aid office and ask them for a list of local scholarships. \n\nAnother tip as far as financial aid is concernced would be to appeal to your financial aid office if they do not give you all the aid you need (this is done after the semester begins). Sometimes colleges leave private scholarships they are aware of to those who have difficulty with the aid they originally get (in my case, I put in an appeal for extra aid and got an additional $5000.00 for my junior and senior years)

I'm not sure if it's the same in your area, but your school guidance councelor should be able to advise you. You should look into summer and night school, those are usually options available for getting ahead, along with advance classes. Some schools here in Ny would give you duel credit for one class and some extra credit work.\n\nAlso ask if there are tests available for advancement. Best luck.
