ACT Announcement!

Thinking about pursuing a college experience with our friendly neighbors to the north? Canadian universities are an excellent choice for students who thrive in cold climates, appreciate expansive campuses, and are confident in their chosen major. However, Canadian universities offer a different campus experience compared to their U.S. counterparts. Most Canadian students, for instance, don't rely on clubs or school sporting events for their social lives; instead, they turn to the surrounding city for opportunities to connect with classmates. 

Whether before or after submitting applications, some students may feel anxious about what is next to come — they may not feel ready to start college right away, or perhaps they didn’t get the admissions results they were hoping for. These students may want to consider exploring a gap year as an alternative to jumping straight from high school into their college lives. 

Creating an architecture school portfolio requires a strategic balance of technical skill and conceptual depth. Architecture programs challenge students to master a diverse curriculum ranging from art and history to physics and structural science. However, the most critical element admissions committees look for in a portfolio for architecture school is the ability to conceptualize and think creatively.
