MArch 2021 - thoughts on reapplying?

arch222

I applied to 7 MArch II/Urban Design programs and these were the results.

UCB (MCP) - Accepted

Cornell (MSAAD) - Accepted with $

Columbia GSAPP (MSAUD) - Accepted

Harvard GSD (MAUD) - Reject

Yale (MArch II) - Reject

UPenn (MArch II) - Accepted

Princeton (MArch II) - Reject

Not keen on incurring 100K debt to go to grad school - is it better to reapply next year or just go for it? What are people's thoughts on reapplying? Has anyone done that and gotten better results second time around.

I would say just re-apply, to preventing being in so much debt. And in the meantime you could continue working on your portfolio + get relevant work experience and have a better chance in getting into GSD, Princeton etc.

What does a better chance of getting into GSD entail?

Not quite sure. Making your portfolio better, getting it reviewed by instructors, architects etc. could certainly help. Work experience in the field + references from these firms could help as well. it is a risky game keeping in mind that you already got into some good schools. I would definitely think about Upenn and UCB seriously
