i will avoid to answer which school is better, but i will guide u in selecting the school of architecture that best suite ur needs. there are several aspects that u might wanna consider, commonly:

i. study duration
ii. prestige and accreditation
iii. cost, location and socio-environment
iv. opportunity and potentials of its graduates

and so on. so it depends on ur criterias. it would be best if u could express them, after u've read the first page of this thread, that is . so lets talk about this first before going into the details of the chances in getting in, the interview and what u gonna learn. some of these have already been discussed or addressed in the FAQ.

in that case, ur choices are UTM, UM, USM, UIAM and UPM, in no particular order. these are the only local universities accredited with LAM part 1. if u wanna go abroad, the cost will be considerably higher, but after reaching part 2, u should hold equally recgonized qualification by LAM.
i'm not sure about the certificates. inquire with UPU, or maybe some topics here in LYN.
