nervous--

they took you right out of undergrad? isn't that pretty uncommon for ivy? I didn't even apply ivy because of it. did you get accepted to most places you applied? what are you studying now?

I got accepted everywhere I applied
MIT, GSD, Columbia, SCI-Arc
double major in architecture and biology, graduating very soon I hope

I don't think it is uncommon to get in straight out of undergrad?

five,

I also got accepted out of undergraduate. I got accepted to 3 out of 4 of the schools I applied to.

ANY INSIGHT:
MArch I at UPenn v. SCI-Arc

Thanks!

straight in after graduating one year early from undergrad with a BA in art and a BA in arch from University of Minnesota, going to yale for M.Arch 1

I graduated a year and a half early (Xavier University) and got accepted to Cincinnati (I already live here and can't go elsewhere for at least another year, so it's the only place I applied).

Cincydapp, andperseand, planning = design + love

I got into Penn too but i'm not sure if I'm going.

Why are you all deciding Upenn?
Any particular philosophy you liked or is it just because of the name?

buffalo,

are you in for M or phd?

i have always considered grad school so i am intensely curious to see some examples of the portfolios you acceptees have put together and perhaps some ideas about letters of recommendation. anyone care to share?

I'm going because I'm already here...doing a dual degree with City Planning. :) But regardless, I really like the focus of the program on the practice of landscape architecture beyond traditional park/garden design into realms of infrastructure design/ brownfield reclamation / urban design / urbanism. There is still a great deal of focus on gardens and parks, but also new ideas about how and where landscape architecture is relevant. A lot of the studios have some type of urban element to them. If this is what you are interested in, Penn seems to be the place to be.

Also....having said that, I've spoken to some people currently in the program who are disappointed because the scale of the studio projects are often very large. Not that you won't get a chance to design small spaces, but the focus is more on the large scale. The actual full name of the department as founded by Ian McHarg is Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning and while the program has changed a lot since McHarg's time, the "Regional Planning" influence is still there.

I believe I will attend Princeton for MArch 1 AP in the fall...but there's still time.
