Where do you plan on working in the future? Do you Masters in that country if you can.  Can't give you advice on those schools.

But don't let the rejection bother you.  Take it as a sign to work harder and improve.  Architecture is a life long learning profession.  Focus on incremental growth.  You will keep getting better.  If not, you're just dumb and not suited for this profession. xD

Agree with accesskb. Do your Masters where you want to work, especially if you are not from EU. It will be difficult to transit to other cities/countries to work after your master.

I am not sure about the MA of Polimi. But their undergraduate program is indeed excellent one of the best in EU I think.

Hi guys, thanks for answering.

Well I picture myself working in Europe for a while. I have double nationality (Ecuadorian/Italian) due to my parents so no need for visas or work permits whatsoever and I speak fluent Italian and 5 other mostly European languages.

My goal is to learn the most in Europe about the topics that I'm very passionate about (Social Housing and Public Space) try to work in developing this kind of projects or any big type of design projects and later 15/20 years open a studio in Ecuador to develop this topics with enough experience.

Mianly I am focusing right now to enter a university well recognized abroad that could boost my Cv and let me work in any country abroad.

Many thanks again for your time and answers, really appreciate it. 

I am also highly interested in the architectural design master at Polimi. The university has been ranked 14th in the world in architecture and design by QS world university rankings for a few years now.

As you can see the employability ranking and reputation is fairly high. The Polimi website also has a page that goes more in depth with statistics of employment after graduation that i cant find right now. 

It seems like a great buy with Milan being one of if not the design capital of europe and Polimi being the best university in Italy, and one of the top in europe for architectural design and engineering. The cost is also superb I am from america where the cost of education is a horrendous burden. Polimi has all the necessary resources from a library dedicated to architecture to model making laboratory and access to all of the architectural software needed to improve your skill-set. I wish they had a more detailed course catalog. With the reputation that it has I'm sure that the program is great and the degree will translate to where ever you want to go, not to mention you will learn a lot outside of the classroom. 

Congratulations on getting into the Urban design and architectural design. I only got into the architectural design when I applied to both back in fall of 2015. I deferred to get some experience and see what the working world is like. I am going to apply again this fall for fall 2018 maybe ill see ya there! 

My one concern about the program I have myself is its translation with the NCAB institute the governs architectural licenses in america. But like i said before Im pretty confident it will translate but I would like to hear from an american who has done the program continued their career in america. The worst that can happen is they make me take a few courses somewhere to satisfy any categories I am lacking. My main reasons for going are cost and I believe I will learn more being in Milan and have a better experience overall. I studied abroad in Florence during my undergraduate career and loved it and been learning Italian ever since. 

and let me work in any country abroad.

I wrote a long explanation to why the US and Canada are not like any country for foreign professionals, but then I deleted it to keep things civil.

But just a heads up, in the US, architecture, interior design, urban design, landscape architecture are all different professions, with separate programs in schools, and their own sets of rules for practicing and licensing.

I would stay in europe if there is a europe in 4 years. But again, Italy is the country with most architects per capita in the world!
