Check out thegradcafe.com to see when notifications were received last year. There is not quite enough data from last year, but the site is gaining momentum and, a few people seem to be reporting architecture results from this year.
If you all post on this site we won't have to read through chit chat to catch up on the latest in admissions... and we'll be lending priceless information to future architecture applicants.
just a suggestion.

I think vacation is next week or the week after for most schools. It would be nice if they finished up the letters by then... hopefully I will have something extra to celebrate on St. Patty's Day - like some good acceptances! If not, I guess I will be drowning my sorrows that day.

smith,
you should just stand up and freak out and run out the door all crazy...

well, at least that is what i would do.

of course i have no boss...so i can be a lunatioc anytie I want...

i always told myself that if i got into UVA i would go...however, i'm in a pretty serious relationship going on 4 years now, and i'm just not sure what to do.

second best to telling your parents is telling your your friends - mine will celebrate almost anything as an excuse to booze midweek!

on a side note...when are they going to announce the new rankings for NCAA men's bball? UNC #1 4/life.

when you guys are there for the open house, go swimming at blue hole, grab a beer (or three) at michael's bistro on the corner, eat a 2 am sandwich at littlejohn's (but expect a 30 minute line), and go out for tapas at mas on monticello road.

oh, and visit the a-school if you have time.

smith... congrats on UVA. sounds like you will have a week of giddiness. hopefully you can retain your previous allegiances (UNC?) because if you decide on UVA you are in for 2 years of athletic disappointment.. unless you enjoy a good tennis match or swim meet.

yeah UVA sucks at sports. i like tennis....speaking of, i met Monica Seles the other day.

congratz smith!

man, im starting to loath UVA ... oh well, guess i'll find out officially with the letter this week. Yeah, you might want to add to tennis ... they're also good at lacrosse ... and I'd imagine polo as well. get ready to tie your sweaters around your shoulders and drink Zima too.

Mar 3, 08 1:13 pm  ·

i know not one person who drinks zima. if you mean a pale ale at the country club, then yes, i'll be there...if it's free.

To pass the time, have a look at this website: urban photos and you might see where you may be moving next.

WTTTTF!
The IIT website now changed.
No longer says "Admitted."

now says:

Current Status: Application Complete .
Your application is complete. Admission decisions will be made in late February and you will be notified of the decision in early March via mail.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN MAN!
Talk about winding me up!

I guess they aren't expecting people to check the "Application Status" page on the website ever day.
