There is not online classes for summer 08. But I am pretty sure you will be able to find out some university with this option... I suggest you to take a look in Phoenix University

Good luck.

there was mention of berkeley's classes before i think. although there was something about an exam you had to physically sit (no pun intended)

@yyz: as per 10, any embassy or large university should be able to provide a proctor.

I'm going to University of Michigan, the only school that accepted me although I'm still waiting to hear from Virginia Tech. I start this summer.

I am going to Syracuse,... however if I hear from SCI-Arc I would go there.

No news from Pratt & Parsons... I guess I am out of them

I should wait a year preparing another portfolio. I did in the last 3 months pieces to fill another portfolio ...

I thought in spend in Cuernavaca (Mexico) next year just preparing a great portfolio ... I will see ...

that's up to you, but Syracuse is not a bad school. I got in there and RISD last year, but I thought I would give myself another year to "grow" and re-apply to in-state schools. I'm still going out-of-state, but I think I will be very happy at UMich.

Well I am not saying that Syracuse is a bad school actually under my opinion has the greatest program in Architecture. And I love the option of spend one or two semesters in London or Florence.

The only thing I am afraid is the weather, I don't know if I am ready to support this cold ... the rest is perfect!

I only found out bout this website last night!

And now, you guys are my soulmates. Coming from a totally opposite side of the world, I didn't have anyone going through the same frustrations.

And for the record I applied only to SCI Arc (in the states). Shelby and I have been corresponding by email, she's seemed thoughtful, when I told her about my heart problems caused by the waiting of the results.

This is the stats she gave me, 45 places out of the 225 applicants for SCI Arc March. II 2008.

I applied to the Architectural Association (late intake, double the application fee) in London as well, but the results will be only known much later.

As someone mentioned somewhere earlier, results for SCI Arc will only be out next Tuesday or Wednesday. Hold on tight all you sci-chies.

Riedell101, wait a day or two and you will have a letter. I haven't gotten an e-mail yet either, but I am not exactly worried. My friend got an e-mail from GT, but I think that is only because he knows the admissions coordinator. Hang in there a few more days and you will know for sure.

my boss just shared with me that he got a thank you letter for writing my recommendation for sci-arc --- is this weird? Did anyone else know if their recommender's got one? Are they just really nice at sci-arc? He says he's never gotten one for writing a letter before....

"thanks, we'll definitely give her all of our new endowment $$?"

"thanks for the warning"?



... i am so grasping at straws

Looks like I'm going to be a Bruin.
Who else is going to UCLA?

wittyusername: If you have the chance, would you mind asking at UCLA's open house what their setup is for studying abroad? I havent been able to figure that out.

..and if you forget, no worries whatsoever. Thanks.

TKO - when is gt's open house?

No problem aey, I am wondering about that myself. I heard that they have a program in Barcelona, and other opportunities to travel to Europe and Japan but this is all from posts on this thread, so no info directly from anyone involved in the program.

Underground: It looks like we have a pretty good contingent of Bruins around here. As far as I know, FF33, moca, aey, and myself are all potential Bruins.

mr. bren, i'm considering going to vt. well, i'm on their waitlist, so i guess they're considering me. i'm definitely a city girl, but i had a great time when i visited Blacksburg. that might have something to do with knowing people there. my cousin goes there. we had a great time! but it was just for a weekend, i don't know how it would play out for the next 2 years..... but i was very happy with the program and the professors i spoke with....

i'm hoping to just get in to gt and be done with it though!

tko - thanks! of course it's on friday afternoon. even if they do let me in, i won't be able to attend, but i was there for undergrad and have a lot of friends who have been or are currently there for grad school. so i don't really have any questions, just would have been nice to attend it.
