Wtf dude? Didn't you already have a sandbox here to play around with:

http://archinect.com/forum/thread/149969331/2017-m-arch-in-the-us-applicants-admissions-prep-post-here/50#last

There's always two separate threads for prep and results..you don't have to post on here if you don't want to.

Uhh no, not every year...and logically speaking, isn't it easier to consolidate the entire thing within a single thread for ease of reference & posterity?

Any problem with keeping the forum tidier given the mess? Srsly, someone has already created another unnecessary "grad school application results" thread this very instant.

This is a different thread. This thread focuses on results and not prep. And that thread is "WHEN did you hear back from grad school"

I'd like to see two more categories added:

• Total expected student debt
• Expected annual salary post graduation

Argues for thread consolidation for stated reasons.

Response: "This thread focuses on results and not prep".

Good luck with your comprehension in grad sch buddy.

Archietechie,

It's all good, no worries. 

Anxiously awaiting results. Does anyone know tentatively when they will start popping up?

From my research (stalking archinect for dayzzz)

M.Arch I programs :

-Cornell February 28 Tuesday

-GSD March 3 Friday

-PennDesign Mid-march 

-Yale ??? (varies)

I'm anxious as well. Unfortunately a lot of the schools seem to release decisions in waves (as to avoid admitting too few or too many students). So, we should expect emails anytime from this week to April. It's brutal.

edit: oops...duplicate comments

@ecogalaxy....can you elaborate on your aspect of anxiety? For example, what makes you anxious about waiting on the decision is not he same as my anxiety. What makes this waiting period so brutal and what are you doing to keep your mind sane? Smoking weed? Reading books? Exercising? Curious to hear everyone's response...

Hey hopefuls and anxious!

@Dericsen8 what part of your application do you feel that hurt your chances in getting accepted???? I'm still waiting in their decision...

I would probably say my portfolio. It wasn't as strong as i would've liked it to be

Was it the amount of projects? The quality of work? 

has anyone else gotten the barrage of emails from sci-arc asking for contact information confirmation and supplemental financial aid information? I can't decide if this is a good thing or just standard. 

@Napoleon Ordaz Relax man. You've already submitted your application, so it is what it is. Waiting sucks, but it will be way worse if you spend all this time worrying.

Linhou...Congratulations on the CMU acceptance and the scholarship offer. I know someone in a similar deadline situation and they've chosen to accept one offer, now, and see where things play out in a few weeks with other schools.   Good luck on your choices. Definitely no shame in a CMU graduate degree! I suspect they'll achieve their accreditation on time in a few years too.
