I was hoping that I would get something in the mail today - but I didn't. Kinda disappointing week for me. Usually I love the weekend, but now I just want it to be Monday so I can get some sort of notification from my schools.
did anybody hear anything about $$ when they got their MIT or GSD phone calls? i didn't bring it up, figured if there was money they would have said so.
ahouseapalace, you should get $$$ info in a big packet of acceptance materials from GSD in a day or two. they just mailed them out yesterday, but I live about a mile away so I got mine today.
$15K in grants, woo! now I just need to find another $19,000/year...
@ snarkitekt: $15K... congrats! i am still worrying about how to finance myself. in asia at this moment, i probably won't receive the packet until april.
Congratulations on the cash snarkitect. To second that ahousapalace, MIT said the financial stuff will be included in the packet but i'm not sure when they're mailing that stuff out.
I agree modernmonk, I'm a bit concerned about financing as well.
that sounds like a fine plan B. if you make it all the way to nepal, you might as well keep goin -- central asia is lovely in september, and will keep your mind off where else you might have been. problem for me is, i spent the last two years doing the vagabond-in-asia thing.
sooo im looking into a management consulting gig in moscow, though i dont much care for the city. plan B is just the small handful of job leads ive gotten (and only since i stopped job hunting, of course).
soooo, you're gonna get a job huh, mrbren? moscow? hmm. ugh.
0/6 so far doesn't mean anything except a bunch of nerves. it isn't over until you've heard. i've already got my fingers crossed waiting for my schools to respond (c'monnnn BERKELEY!). but i'll start crossing my toes for you and everyone else waiting for their fat packages to arrive.
cooooomoooon Yale and gsd waitlists...I'm feeling them. I cant go 0 for 4. Also, anyone else notice that last year the gsd didnt necessarily call/email before sending acceptance packages? Slight glimmer of hope still for people like me stupid enough to apply to only ivies. Eh, if not, there's always the '09 commiserate thread.
Anyone get into berkeley? Im thinking of applying there next year.
Does anyone know some details ragarding GSD\Yale\Berkeley
About their minimum score at the GRE and about people who got in with this score and didnt got in with that score...
(Like you were talking about Columbia)
Tnx
And may we all be satisfied with our Universities result.
Everything is for the best!
anybody still waiting on UT Austin? I recall there have been a few acceptances via email, a few rejections via website. I got nothin yet. I'm hopin this is the week...
i think that ut austin was supposed to finish all of their acceptances last friday... a friend of mine was down there talking with the admissions staff and that was their tenative date. but who knows...
2008 M.Arch applicants, commiserate here!
Has anyone heard from SCI-Arc yet?
Not yet. But I guess .... during next week they are going to start sending out emails
Got a phone call this morning from U Penn! Yippy
Yeah I think SCI-Arc is usually a bit later than most.
Congratulations kramer.
waitlisted at yale today via post.
but they did send it in a nice big package with some interesting literature!:)
in at parsons!! w/ a 12k scholarship!!!!! :)
Congrats all who were accepted! best of luck to everyone else!
EY NORITA congratulations!!!! :*
thank you!! :)
Hey.. this is all great info, so I thought I'd get some advice too.
Picking between UMich and VT.
Any thoughts on program differences between the two? Or insight on program philosophy for one or the other?
Thanks, and congrats to all.

Congrtas Norita!
hey norita, congratulations! how did you hear about your acceptance at Parsons?
I'm in the same boat as you Cou. Anyword right now is better than no word. Bring on Monday.
did anybody hear anything about $$ when they got their MIT or GSD phone calls? i didn't bring it up, figured if there was money they would have said so.
to answer your question, ohmygosh: got parsons envelope today in the mail preceded by a phone call.
ohmygosh - i got a huge package and no phone call.. haha..
ahouseapalace, you should get $$$ info in a big packet of acceptance materials from GSD in a day or two. they just mailed them out yesterday, but I live about a mile away so I got mine today.
$15K in grants, woo! now I just need to find another $19,000/year...
thanks for the parsons info. i have still only heard from 1 of the 7 schools i applied to ... i'm very calm, very ...
man. hope is dimming incrementally. day after day after day. 0/6.
ive already begun activating plan B.

mrbren -- what's plan b? i've been lazily formulating one for myself. so far, it involves a sherpa and mt.everest.
that sounds like a fine plan B. if you make it all the way to nepal, you might as well keep goin -- central asia is lovely in september, and will keep your mind off where else you might have been. problem for me is, i spent the last two years doing the vagabond-in-asia thing.

anyone still holding out for MIT?
MIT is done in my opinion
a package came.. and says i was waitlisted at yale
it was saturday.. of course.
does anyone know if the smarchs at MIT is also finished? I haven't heard anything yet..
soooo, you're gonna get a job huh, mrbren? moscow? hmm. ugh.

Do you know if MIT sends out reject letters?
anyone who applied to GSD's MDes program heard back yet?
I really want it to be tomorrow... mail?
Hey all
Does anyone know if the Universities do Phone calls for International students also?
or they only send their decision by "snail mail"?
(I'm still waiting for 7\8 critical decision...)
Tnx!
i m an international student
and got the call from MIT
Otto which one was your GRE? Because you asked something about a lower score than 450 ....
uhhhhh,
i know someone who got in.. she got a package on 14th.
She got in where?
and Otto,
Tnx and good luck at MIT!!
oh, i was answering the question posted by "uhhhhh". gsd. mdes.
mine is v590m800..
among my friends who got lower than v450 can't get in colubmia
while those scored higher than 450 all got in
so i believe the cut-off point for Columbia may be valid
its gonna be a big week... i can feel it
Hey
Does anyone know some details ragarding GSD\Yale\Berkeley
About their minimum score at the GRE and about people who got in with this score and didnt got in with that score...

thanks ha_no!
UPenn sends out today, so I should hear tomorrow, assuming it only takes one day to get across town.
My very own Super Tuesday. Let's hope I end up the Obama and not the Hillary. Otherwise, I guess I'm stuck being a historic preservationist.
um so my online status for columbia doesn't show "admission decision" can I assume a rejection letter will be finding its way to me?
anybody still waiting on UT Austin? I recall there have been a few acceptances via email, a few rejections via website. I got nothin yet. I'm hopin this is the week...
congrats to ff33 on ucla! i totally understand how you're feeling at this point being a second round applicant as well.
and congrats to all of you columbia people and whoever else has heard. it was a busy weekend!
i think that ut austin was supposed to finish all of their acceptances last friday... a friend of mine was down there talking with the admissions staff and that was their tenative date. but who knows...
