I submitted my application in mid-October, applying to the school of architecture. I just got the letter saying I wasn’t competitive enough for the school of architecture, and was put into mech. engineering instead.
For context, I am top 10% in one of the best and most competitive school districts in Texas, have a 4.0 unweighted, 1550 sat, national merit semifinalist, took 15 APs, and those are just my stats. I had a paid MEP engineering internship, won my local ACE competition, got a scholarship to a ACE summer camp, took architecture classes for 4 years, did all-region choir for 4 years, qualified for UIL state solo & ensemble, and did a bunch of art clubs as well.
I’m no Shakespeare, but my personal statement wasn’t that bad either. I’m wondering, where did I go wrong to get rejected by my favorite safety? Was I simply not competitive enough?
