*eh hem* I'd like to point out that in 9 pt Verdana, even capitals tend to look dainty and not at all hysterical.

I don't know what font YOUR archinect uses *folded arms*

True, tzenyujuei... I'm just looking for any excuse to remain optimistic at this point.

cpnorris - it is expensive. boggles the mind. it is a good school, and i'm glad to have been accepted - but it isn't all that.

Wow, that post was really super cute Welly! The little *eh hem* and *folded arms* just made me think of a tiny munchkin cartoon character getting miffed at something.

formfunction: yeahhh :) totally dying of anticipation. After all this reading and thinking I realized MIT (I say it "mitt" like a baseball mitt) is really my first choice.

poisondarts: thank youuu! I can't wait to get home and check the mailbox for any voicemail deliveries! Oh....wait.

222: hahaha I'm glad you liked that. You'll be pleased to know that I am exactly like that in real life too, especially with the pouting. OY!

Yeah..I am specific about MIT as a top choice as well, just not very confident right now....

ann - here's my two cents on cincinnati.

i really think the coop is awesome. i have a decent amount of work experience, but i'd like the opportunity to coop in a forgien country (or at least a great city in the us) and i know people who have cooped all over from there.

i dated someone at cincinnati, so ended up spending time in their undergrad studio. it seemed pretty similar to my experience for undergrad.

and, for what it's worth, i like cincinnati. it's no nyc, but i still think it's got some valuable learning experience there.

hi tzenyujuei! i'm planning an east coast road trip this summer - so i will be up to see you!!

I am a DAAP - UC alum. I have a 6-year professional BArch, and have worked all over. My thoughts on the program are all over this site at one point or another, so how about I email you, ann culture?


Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we've gone through a whole page since lunch..........

hey tzenyujuei! maybe i'll hop into laurilian's car when she stops off in atlanta on her road trip (which btw, i fully expect you to stop in atlanta on this road trip!!) oh, and how much time do you have next weekend while you're in town, since i know you'll be busy. i have birthday celebrations in the works for both friday and saturday nights! both with free covers, friday to fever and saturday to compound.

laurilan - actually 4+ for Cincinnati...MArch I...whatever you want to call it. Yup, I got an email just a little while ago. Since they start in the summer I figured that since I hadn't heard from them, I probably didn't get in at this point. But then there was the email! I don't know how many more acceptances they'll be sending though.

Good luck, I hope I'll see you in Cincy!

Congratulations to everyone (too many to list) who just received an acceptance!

Hey, this guy/girl who just received a GSD acceptance in the mail...had they received a phone call last Friday when everyone else did or was it a surprise? Just curious.

I'm getting anxious. It's 5:21 and in like 40 minutes I'm scramming outta the office to run for the mailbox!

But I think the big envelope yesterday means no big envelope today! That's the nature of big envelopes!

hey wonderK did you formally apply for a scholarship at the bartlett? things are a bit different here - when they say 'offer' they dont mean $$$ they mean the registar makes certain that you have all the little bits of paper together and will send you a piece of paper that is a conditional or unconditional offer - conditional would mean that you have to say 'bring an original of your diploma when you arrive to school' to prove your completion of school [just incase your transcripts are a bit ambiguous] and 'unconditional' means 'bob's your uncle'. the scholarship applications were only due 1 march so i am quit certain that nothing gets sorted formally on them till june/july. you should have looked into the mccarther scholarships [which were due i think back in jan]

which program did you get into?

Mar 22, 07 6:31 pm  ·

O.k. Here goes my prayer.

Please, God, let MIT call me tonight to tell me I've been accepted. I'll be your best friend.

Thank you,

designbydesign, penn's been lookin at your archinect post and put you on the wait list as since they felt your interest really only appears to be skin and tits-- your would be a better fit in a midwest cow town.

oh shit. i'm screwed. haha.....

well come on... who doesn't like skin and tits?.... as a male (straight). Give me a break.

Well... if i can't get in to Upenn. I still have UIUC, Wash U, WU, AZ state and RISD.

I think there are more skin and tits in Phil.

Baboomba , groveling doesn't work ...only GRE prep courses ( so I have heard)..I feel your pain...Is MIT your top school?

Mar 22, 07 6:42 pm  ·

MIT is at/near the top. I'd say I have three top choices, each for different reasons. MIT is one of the three.

Were you at the open house in the fall?

oh wait.... i figured it out why i'm on the UPenn wait list.

Dude, i'm too good. I'm over qualified. They couldn't make up their mind. Oh boy... I'm too good. Jesus. God damn. Hot damn... baby.
