@ Clack

I doubt it.  GradCafe shows people only receiving their acceptances today.  I also applied, but man, there's nothing we can do about it now anyway.

@jk3hl This proof is only an international requirement. just as if an American were to go overseas for school.

proof that you will not go on the welfare system basically

@clack

same question... Is there any chance for those who have not heard from Berkeley?

@LLJKedge

There were also acceptance posts on the 11th on gradcafe. Berkeley is a moon shot for me, but some how I'm still hoping for a miracle... And you're right, what can we do now but waiting and praying.. Good luck to you!

Did you get an email from princeton? I still haven't heard anything, and seeing the acceptances roll out is making me pretty anxious.

I haven't heard from WUSTL, Berkeley or Pratt yet! What does this mean? I though for sure I'd hear from WUSTL. Looking at all of you guys I am starting to think I should've applied to more schools! Only did 6. 

and to whoever asked about Clemson. I was waitlisted there a few days ago. 

@Tanuja how did you find out about your finaid from Syracuse?

Mar 12, 13 3:16 pm  ·

e.m.g.

@thinkgreen

How did you find out you were waitlisted? I called Clemson this morning because when I log onto their grad page, and click "application status check" and type in my ID it says, "no application on file." Then when I go to the log in and log into my account to view my application materials, it just says "complete"...

They told me on the phone I had been admitted to MArch but I never received an email and I'm very confused about how others found out?

I got accepted into WUSTL M.Arch program Sunday night.

I was denied at UT-Austin for Urban Design.

I'm still waiting on UO but WUSTL was my first choice so I'm not too concerned.

I haven't checked much of this thread but anybody else starting M.Arch at WUSTL fall '13?

congrats to all those who got into Princeton!!!! very excited for all of you! i did not have coverage when they seemed to have called people, but i'm pretty sure i didn't get in - i got into GSAPP and its a good fit for me in many regards - i love princeton's program and would just like to communicate my excitement for those who have the fortune to attend :-)

@ tanuja:  sorry to hear about U of O.  Same happened to me.  I really don't know what they want(ed).  You have to speak THEIR language on your essays, it seems.  At any rate, you're in good shape and have other choices, IIR.

Have admitted to some good schools. Got a problem.. I didn't think about tuition when I was applying:D  Now got a question about Temple, since it is one of the cheapest I have applied.

got admitted to Temple U (2yr)

Anyone knows anything about the program...????

Where can I find some works of grad students of Temple?

Didn't find any gallery on their website!

WUSTL Fall 2013, possibly here, buddy!

Still waiting on Pratt and got waitlisted at Cornell. Also in at IIT Chicago (AP), and Syracuse, but I am already disregarding Syracuse.

@ e.m.g.

UVa, UO, UW, Rice, Georgia Tech, UFl, CU-Denver and my school (lol, at curtkram et. al.).

Denied at the first 4.  Accepted at the last 4.  (Got literature for about another handful, too).

Would have GLADLY applied, and probably been accepted, but they had a December finish (7 semesters) then.  If set up like they are now, with the full summer to start, I would have.  I have a tremendous amount of respect for that school, and any of its graduates I've worked with, or met,.

@thinkgreen The letter I received did not say anything about money so I'm assuming I didn't get any. That might have been for scholarships only though, not fafsa.

"Dear ---,

We regret to inform you that after careful consideration of your application, the Admissions Committee is unable to offer you admission to the Harvard Graduate School of Design.  We would like to underscore that the Committee is keenly aware that there are many strong candidates whom we are unable to admit.

We very much appreciate your interest in the Harvard GSD and wish you the best in your educational and career pursuits.

Sincerely,

Gail Gustafson and Geri Nederhoff

So we can make sure that if we don't get acception at the first time, we get rejected. No any hope at all!
Anyway, it's a good sign! We don't need to wait several days for hopeless results!

@gg_r

Pratt is in spring break right now, I assume they are sending out their results within next week hopefully. I know they have 1st tier scholarship which is 21k and 2nd tier scholarship 17k

Does anybody know about when does Sci Arc results come in I heard april 1st but some people are getting calls already. 

 

To the people who got calls , do you have architecture background or not

Rejected at the GSD. "We still have admissions decisions to make"....why do I feel like we were the butt of a cruel joke?.... Anyways I'm glad I had already accepted this fact and I'm really relieved that now I can just move on :) We're in good company!

Good luck everyone!! And congrats to those that DID get admitted to the GSD! :)

if we received a scholarship (e.g. 1st tier) from a school.. once the school sends out the financial aid package, is it possible to receive grants as well???

Maybe this was GSD's plan all along: Torture people for so long that no one would really get upset about getting rejected at the end.

@kioola - yes i think this was planned to be the least hurtful. and i think this is the best they could do. it is not ever easy to say no.

to those who say they're relived to get rejected by Harvard.. why is that? xD

anyways.. quoting the email from Harvard above, "We would like to underscore that the Committee is keenly aware that there are many strong candidates whom we are unable to admit."  Yikes!  if the strong candidates aren't admitted, do you have to be God-like to get admited? xD

anyways.. there is always the next year.. All those rejected can join me when I apply and you all will have an upperhand over us first timers :)
