Hi there,

I've been putting of my grad school portfolio for a couple years now and it is time to seriously get down to business. I haven't seen any other threads on MLA applications this year and I'm hoping to find some fellow applicants so we can support each other and share our challenges.

I attended Harvard's Career Discovery Program for Landscape Arch in the summer of 2010 so am using a lot of that material. My undergrad was in environmental studies from Berkeley, which is relevant (I'm really interested in intersection of ecology/restoration/urban sustainability and design) - but didn't give me much to work with in terms of creative work to show. I've done some sketching, painting etc.. but don't feel I have enough work to create a really robust portfolio.

I am planning to apply to UVA, University of Washington, Berkeley, maybe GSD and Penn..and am open to others. I visited LSU this past spring and they have such an awesome program but I don't know if I can swing Baton Rouge for three years.. I may apply anyway.

If you're applying, or have applied and have any words of wisdom or thoughts, let  me know!
