Question on College / University Admissions

Question on College / University Admissions
*******************************************

We live in California.

My daughter loves to design homes. She spends a lot of time drawing
homes
and is interested in homes. She enjoys visiting open house events. She
wants to be an architect.
She is fascinated with high end homes.

However, she struggles Math. How much of an impact will this have ?
How important is Math for a degree in architecture?
What is best suited for a child with this interest ?


What are the most important strengths that an architecture student
should have ?


Any input/suggestions/pointers on the above would be highly
appreciated.


PLEASE HELP.

Thanks,
Sue

Math is an important part of architecture, especially geometry. One or
two courses may be required.

Attention to detail. An artistic bent for design. The ability to
visualize spaces. Comfort with computer technology.

A Google search on architecture schools gave these two links ---
disclaimer --- I know nothing about them and am not affiliated with
them. They may list some schools you might want to consider, might not.

Your local state college library is probably a gold mine. They almost
surely have books with colleges listed by degree, and then you can
investigate any schools you find intriguing. They also probably have
sources for "private" financial aid (anything ranging from $1000 to join
the synchronized swimming team at a certain school to essay competitions
to small grants for all sorts of things), if you are interested, If your
daughter is still in high school the guidance office may have sources.

If you live in or are near a large city a local Architects Association
may be willing to talk to prospective future members.

Good Luck!!
