Does anyone here pursued other degree before studying architecture? What was your experience?

It is my dream to become an architect. Unfortunately, I wasn't accepted to my first choice (Architecture) at the school I applied for. Instead, I was offered a slot to BS Interior Design, which is my third choice. I am going to accept the school's offer with a mindset that the opportunity to be an architect would come to me again if it's really meant for me. Of course, I am afraid that the opportunity may not even come or it would be too late but I decided to not dwell on overthinking about it so much. Is there anyone here who took architecture at a later stage in their life?
