'Guide to Architecture Schools' is a publication of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, and the new seventh edition is absolutely indispensable to anyone considering architecture school. It lists all architecture schools in the US, as well as information on domestic and international accredited and associated schools. For all US Schools there is a thorough two page write up containing information on the university and the university setting, program point of contact, school philosophy, undergraduate and graduate programs, special activities and programs, research concentrations, areas of focus, scholarship and financial aid, facilities, faculty, administration, school demographics, application requirements and deadlines, tuition and fees, and student population statistics. Most schools also have information on percentage of applicants accepted, though a few (like Harvard) do not publish that information. In a nutshell, if you are serious about considering architecture school, this book is an absolute requirement. It provides not only the cut and dried information you would expect, but practical tips, and intrinsic information that will let you get an idea of which school is right for you (as well as useful admission tips.) This book is frequently backordered, so if you even think you might want to go to architecture school, buy it now.
