College education will provide a strong foundation and well grounded knowledge, skills and just enough experience to help you prepare for your first job and in life in general. It is a stepping stone for bigger things to achieve.
In real world for both life and job solving problems and communication are key achieving your goals.
You will learn a lot and look for information to solve a business problem or personal problem, once you solve this will increase your confidence.
The cycle goes on and your goals will be ambitious.
Education is like gardening requires patience, problem-solving, and perseverance. Gardeners nurture their crops with proper soil, water, and sunlight. Students nurture with information, communication and problem solving.
Do not worry about school rating. Learn the art of finding information to communicate better and solve problems.

Hi Arianna,
I don't know much about architecture schools, but there should be resources for you. There are many organizations that rate schools. Some of the popular ones are US News and World Report, or Barron's (at least, that what we used decades ago when I went to college). You may also want to look at professional organizations - I'm sure there must be some kind of "national association of US architects" or the likes.
But there are many factors to consider when choosing a school besides its rankings. Location, cost, student life...all of these things (and more) should be factored in. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide if a given school is the best for you.
