Harvard GSD MDes - Help / Guidance

vishalvaidhyanathan

Hey all!

I'm new to Archinect and hence forgive any newbie mistakes. There are many old threads regarding this, but they've all become outdated, hence this one.

I am quite interested in the MDesS program that the GSD offers, simply because of the opportunity to delve in design based research in a particular field in detail. MDesS Technology Intrigues me the most!

My question is, I am going to complete my B.Arch ( 5 year professional course ) this year and am planning to apply to the GSD for fall '19.

Since I don't have Professional Experience besides 8 - 9 months of Internships in computational design and architecture and a few competitions, would it hamper my chances of getting in?

Also, what does it really take to understand if you're a good fit and secure an admit?

I have GRE Scores of Q 166 and V 154 AWA 5.0

It'll be great if someone can guide me on where I should concentrate on my application and if it is a lost cause without professional experiences. And tips for portfolio would be a great bonus for me!

Thanks a lot guys! And best of luck y'all!
