i don't understand why some people on gradcafe said they go waitlisted by yale via email a week ago and some people got a package in the mail with a waitlist letter yesterday..why the inconsistency?

okay. i figured it out. Yale acceptances went out Mar 10 and waitlist packages/emails were sent out Mar. 12. but i still don't know why some ppl got emails and some got the package.

@swamprat-

Penn supposedly sent all letters out yesterday, but I haven't gotten a thing and I live in Philly, so who knows what's up at this point.

doin_time- wish there was a great MLA school in NYC. urban design sounds great, but it helps having the prof degree.

columbia needs to start one!

I'm a Canadian BFA and have applied to M.Arch I programs at

UBC
U of T

Pratt
Parsons
Columbia

So far UBC, Pratt and Parsons have accepted me. No word from Columbia or Toronto. Any one else waiting for Columbia? It might be too expensive for me anyway. If it's between Pratt and Parsons what do you guys/gals think?

ripomatic

thanks. I found out via email.

asbuckeye, yup. the Holl building is their studio space. I've visited thrice (I live down the road) and the space is really wonderful

ripomatic

nariman, I haven't looked into Parsons at all, but I know Pratt has a spectacular program. I know a lot of people that graduated from there and they have nothing but good things to say about it (except for the cost). Pratt grads work at the best firms in NYC and have very good reputations as great designers and hard workers.

...also, it's in Fort Greene, which is one of the best areas of brooklyn. I grew up in NYC, so that statement should hold some weight to it.

Mar 18, 08 4:25 pm  ·

Pratt accepted peeps,

If you were notified by email, was there anything about a scholarship? My email said nothing.

Harvard MArch II, how could they be done sending acceptances? Only one person on the grad cafe posted something, and a couple people on archinect. My guess is they are still sending them out throughout the week. Hmmm?

Mar 18, 08 4:39 pm  ·

yes, there was info in the email about scholarship.

damn i thought pratt had lots of money... i guess they didn't think i should get some of it.

Mar 18, 08 4:53 pm  ·

chzzzcake are you from ny or us? or are you international?

Mar 18, 08 4:54 pm  ·

franciscoalarcon

Just curious ... by when do you have to accept or not accept the offers? Syracuse is due 15 April, 2008

Mar 18, 08 4:56 pm  ·

zzzhc

from boston. not international.

ack... i'm still hoping for schools in cali tho. i don't know what other based their choices on, but i'm pretty simple and based it on location. i want west coast sun!!!

cornell, m.arch 1, email!

anyone else?!

I'm still waiting for columbia, but I'm guessing that I'm rejected because many people on thegradcafe.com already received theirs via "website" - on which I don't see anything.

ha - i would not go that far. i applied and was accepted there last year and all i got was student loans. and no advanced placement.

from speaking with a student there, he said there is a possibility of getting money your second year, it's not usually that much.

in fact, after i turned them down - they came back and asked me again in july if i wanted to accept and offered me advanced placement. i asked them again about money and they didn't even bother answering me.
