Ha, I was one of the guys that was weeded out. I think I lasted about 3 weeks and then never went back. That was my choice, though, as I wasn't really committed to the program. That, and I didn't want to sleep in the armory :wink:
You are going to love being an ISU student, great atmosphere. If I were you I would go ahead and start hating the hawks now, that way you can get a jump start on the rest of your life.
Well, I didn't get in. Made the choice pretty easy. It is one of the tougher schools to get into at UT. They have a 10% acceptance rate. 800 or so apply and about 70-80 get accepted. They are looking for the academically elite, which is a category I don't fit in. Which is a shame, because for all they know, I could have been the most artistically minded and naturally gifted in the field of architecture applicant they received, but they would not have known it. Whereas @ Iowa St, there is a year for you to get to know the college and for the college to get to know you.
Welcome to ISU. Feel free to remain loyal to your roots and cheer for the Longhorns. :biggrin:
Good luck getting into the architecture program, hope you don't plan on getting much sleep your freshman year.
There's a lot of casual Horns fans here including me, so welcome. Prof. Bruce Bassler went to aTm so be sure to break his balls about it if you get a chance.
Some advice: never let bad craft be the first thing someone notices about one of your models (you will build many). Good luck.

Work your *** off getting into Architecture. And plan for a back-up, like Landscape Architecture or Interior Design. Develop a thick skin now, because you will need it for your reviews, no matter how well you did. In my experience, they definitely didn't play favorites. :wink:
Welcome to the ISU family. You won't stay a Longhorn for long. I came in as a Hawkeye and was quickly converted.

It shouldn't be a hard adjustment from the Horns to the Clones. We do everything the exact opposite of Texas. Texas wins a lot, ISU loses a lot. The story of life.
I think isuarch80's take is correct, based on his time in school. The "pre-design" status has changed from about 4 - 5 yrs ago. I was "pre-arch" as a frosh. A few years later, they changed to "pre-design." I began as one of 242 students in "pre-arch," I graduated one of 56 w/ a BArch. It was very selective/ still is.
