Dear All,

Any first-handed experience or rumors would be appreciated.  (M.Arch)

I would like to know how long does it takes for those university to reply their decision, after they receive the portfolio.

Personally I would apply to GSD and Sci-Arch. Done GRE and things.

My friends applied for AA/Bartlett. It has been a month now after the university received the portfolio. And now we are getting excited. ( or nervous )  hahaha. We heard somebody got accepted after 2 weeks, while some around a month. Some also got rejected around a month. Oh no...

Any response would be appreciated,

Thank you.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I hear most schools begin sending out decisions late Feb  to the first few weeks of March. A few are slated for the first week of April. 

Ive applied to the MAUD program at the GSD and SmarchS at MIT. Extremely nervous as well. The wait is frustrating. 

Stay calm and hope for the best !

The wait is killing me too. I check the grad cafe almost every day! Ugh

darth_arch is right though, nothing until late February, early march.

I check gradcafe.com every day too, hahaha. I applied to Harvard, MIT, and CMU for their Design+Computation programs.

I try to entertain myself working but I can't hahha.

@Shep, MAUD and SmarchS follow similar dates?

@darth_arch I'm not sure.  You might be able to find out by looking through last year's results at gradcafe. Thats what I did to find those.

I've applied for SAC/ Delft /Bartlett /ITECH /CITA /Greg Lynn Studio/

It seems that I need to take a long time receiving all the results..

Yeah you applied to a lot different schools, I'm sure you'll get into one of them!

I wonder how many people have heard back already...

Hp87, Are you getting that information from Grad Cafe?

Everyday that passes with no response, I get a little more worried.

I am ( I know, I'm pretty intense about it). 

And yes, I get worried too. I applied to UCLA, USC, UIC, YALE, GSD, and UPENN. No word yet. *Fingers Crossed*

3 people into MIT for MArch I! It seems that they are releasing the decisions very early this year!

Seems odd to me that these school piece-meal their acceptance letters.

every one who had applied to MIT is worried as  MIT starts sending its decision around early march for time being let us assume it as troll.

^almost no arch school cares about GRE unless you bomb it. I asked them about it when I was considering applying there several years ago... they point blank said they didn't care. haha.

Congrats though, and good luck!

Congrats Tabeguache, 

Suprised MIT started sending out decisions this early ! Is it safe to assume even the SmarchS decisions will be sent out sometime now?!

Marina CM

Hey darth_arch, I think (and hope) so. SMACT decisions also came out, so my bet is that we will be hearing about SMarchS next week. What group did you applied to? Urban Planning?

Feb 15, 14 11:31 am  · 
 · 
darth_arch

Yes, Smarchs in (Architecture+Urbanism). How about you?

Do you have to fill out the FAFSA by Feb 15th even if you haven't been accepted?

Feb 15, 14 12:39 pm  ·

darth_arch, I applied to the Design and Computation group. I wish you good luck!!

 

SpatialSojourner, I have no idea :S

@SpatialSojourner it depends on the school, as to when they want it. If you've been rejected, of course there's no need, but if you just haven't heard, it would be a good idea. Many schools seem to send out financial aid packages with or close to admissions offers. It only takes a few minutes, so might as well get it done. You can estimate the numbers and confirm later if you haven't filed taxes yet.

They are calling their top picks. Friend of mine was called by Denari and he was in their top 5 for admissions. Keep calm though, they will send out email notifications soon enough, or maybe you and I will get a call.  Who knows.....

Hp87 did they send you the email to your personal email address that you used to apply, or to your UW Net ID email? I remember getting an email from them saying they were going to use UW net ID emails for further contact but I don't even have one.
