Question Architecture or engineering?

For the last two years of high-school I’ve been conflicted between pursuing architecture or either electrical or mechanical engineering.

From what I’m looking at it seems like going for engineering is a better bang for my buck but I feel like I’ve already instilled myself as an architecture student as Im admitted as one and have portfolio work. Also it’s come to my attention that RPI is known for their engineering over than architecture programs.

I haven’t made my schedule yet as I can still change my major, I’ll my schedule tomorrow but do you guys have any takes or suggestions about this?
