I don't know what college I want to attend, and I'm unsure about my major.
I'm a junior in high school. And I'm worried. I don't know what college I wanna go to, and I'm unsure about my major. I currently have a 3.8-3.9 GPA.
I was thinking about architecture or interior design, but I'm afraid that I'm going to walk into a class at a college and feel completely lost or dumb. I don't know much about architecture, but it's honestly one of the few careers that seem to be of any real interest to me. I've taken Drawing 1 and 2 at my high school, and photography as well. I plan on taking a Physics and Design class my senior year, and another photography class. But I'm still scared and unsure. If I choose to major in Architecture, what do I have to go into college knowing about it? What skills will I need to have? What classes should I have taken to help me?
If anyone majors in this or knows about it, anything you tell me about it will be helpful.

My boyfriend is an arch major and he walked into school without knowing much. He didn't know he would major in it in high school, so he didn't take anything to prepare for it.
However, now he' stuck having to take physics over the summer in order to keep up. Therefore, I'd recommend taking some basic physics classes before starting college. He also does a lot of computer based work, so I'd recommend a computer class. Maybe a CAD (computer aided design) class if your school offers it? That's really all he's done so far, because we're only freshmen, but he loves his arch classes and I think it you're interested in it, you should go for it!
Hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, just let me know!

My niece took Architectural design in college. The College she attended the undergraduate school course was not a certified course so she was required to attend their graduate school for her Masters Degree.
In the college my niece attended the course was part of the school of Engineering. She spent many days and nights in the lab working on her drawings and project buildings both in her undergraduate and graduate schools.
One of the course I know you will need to have or will need to make up is advanced math course such as AP Calculus and Physics.
There are not t many schools that offer certified Architectural courses. If this is what you want I would suggest you start by talking with your guidance counselor. Find out what schools offer the coursed you want. Then contact those schools for more information such as what are the prerequisite for placement in these classes. You might also ask for the first year syllabus from selected courses.
When you have all the information sit down with mom and dad to review and make a selection of 3 colleges. Next you arrange to visit those colleges. These three colleges are the ones you are going to apply to. You will probably apply to more but these are the primary schools you are hoping for acceptance. Then apply for early acceptance.
Good luck.
