I am currently a senior, and have been looking into getting an MLA, preferably somewhere in the southeast (US). I am planning to graduate in Spring of 2027 with a BS in Biology with a minor in English. I was previously on the pre-Dental track, but I was not testing too well and I have a decent GPA just not enough for the dental school competition loll. One of my professors recently introduced me to landscape architecture and it looks like something I’d enjoy a lot more as I’m interested in nature as well as designing spaces. I’ve always just been more of a creative person in general and I think this will be a lot more intellectually stimulating for me as it seems to combine the environment with design.
I was just wondering if I should start looking at softwares and/or building a portfolio now for my applications, and possibly just some tips on how to go about the MLA application process. Also if there are any current students who can share their experiences or post grad work that would be awesome!!
