I just got a phone call from RISD's program director, with a follow up email and financial package on the way. :) Still waiting from other schools...

@Future Architect

yep there was a brief one via skype, only for like 10mins

@joey_syd

Nope, I don't live in the US and I probably can't go to Rice anyway since I didn't get the full-tuition scholarship.

@sarci-tect

got interviewed by UC Berkeley MArch2 Studio One. It was just Ok. It`ll only have 12 people in the end. But as far as I know, no acceptance has been sent yet. Guess we have to wait till Feb. 25th coz now it`s the weekend.

@joey_syd

Sorry I forgot to say congratulations :) 

What did they ask during that 10 mins?

@e.m.g. I got the same phone call from RISD! Fingers crossed for some good financial aid. Congrats everyone.

@Future Architect

Thanks  mate :)

He asked about my previous education and answered a few questions of mine about studio setup and scholarships, nothing much really. I reckon it was only a formality thing, just to make sure that I speak proper English :)

@kioola

That's a shame, hope you'll get a full scholarship you wish for :)

Good luck!

@disro @e.m.g.

me too!

@distro, @AC23 - Congrats! Are you planning to attend the open house?

@ Leif Estrada

I applied to these two programs (amongst others you did not list):

GSD (MDesS in History and Theory)

YSOA (MED with focus on History and Theory)

I must admit though, I believe that acceptances have already gone out for MED, and to be honest, if we have not heard by now I think it is unlikely we will get in to these programs.

@e.mg. Yes! March 18th. See you there?

@AC23 Congrats! 

@disro Congrats! Hope to meet you one day, haha.

@rafidlf ....awkward. 

Haha! Just kidding... Get back to work!! 

@mtt9999

it's hard to get into YSOA... but crossing the fingers, since it's still early... you should too! =) This wait is such a torture... hoping to hear something by the end of this week.

@e.m.g.  @disro @ac23

I got into RISD as well! I plan on going to the open house! Congrats :] 

just accepted by Taubman college, MArch I

@tinson49

Congrats! Had a question, how did you receive the news? snail mail? email? phone call? haha just wondering since I also applied there as well :] 

@tinson

AHHH nvrmind, I GOT THE EMAIL! AHHHh :D

Me too! @tinson49 and @eternalized

Congrats!

@yyymmm @eternalized
Congrats!
Wish u guys have better offers!

How much have you guys been offered?

@tinson49

looks like University of Michigan is giving admissions right now. I also got admitted into MArch2.

@yyymmm @nitendo2046

congrats!

@jawknow - I dont know yet.....I havent gotten the email yet with the offer in it. 

@tinson49- you already got the email with the financial information in it?

:) Congrats everyone!

I got the e-mail from  Taubman too. 

I applied to M.Arch 1 with the summer term. Does anyone know in which month the summer term starts? 

waitlisted at umichigan!

jesus... for a moment I though you said something in german haha

@tinson49 @eternalized @avesl 

same with Taubman M.Arch 1!

Congrats on all those admitted to schools of their choosing, and to those headed to UMich Taubman, you'll have both a good department and a good school!

For the others, keep those fingers crossed.

@eternalized
It just a message told me that I am accepted. It says formal letter will come soon.

I received UIC's acceptance mail a few days ago, which also says formal letter will follow soon.

Same here for Tcaup M.Arch 1! However, still anxiously awaiting responses from the big dogs.

I might go to the RISD open house... i'll wait until I hear from the others

Looks as though a notice of admissions from TCAUP has rolled in for me as well. Excited to receive the terms of the offer whenever those get sent out.

Congrats to all! 

@rrnkenshin

got the same email.

Did you receive any kind of scholarship?

@Future Architect

No, the mail just says that the School of Arch recommended me for admission to the Graduate Admission. There are multiple "congratulations" in the letter so I think It could be considered as an acceptance letter. Maybe scholaship will be mentioned in the formal letter. I think UIC is kind of nervous when hearing other schools are sending admission results already, so they're trying to inform the candidate "as soon as possible" (as written in the mail) even before a final decision could be made.

How about you, did you receive any kind of scholarship?

@rrnkenshin

No I didn't:( I asked them, they told me that. The tuition is so high, 32 k for non residents. There isn't much difference between the tuition of UIC and schools like SCI-Arc. I guess I have to wait to hear from other schools.

I was waitlisted at UMichigan. What is the likelihood of being accepted or when do you think we will hear a final decision? Fingers crossed... Congrats again to everyone accepted!! 

How many time/hour are you pressing F5, my fellow applicants?

I just received an email from Cooper Union. They are requesting that MArch II applicants fill out a form by this Friday specifying your intended area of study: Urban Studies, History and Criticism, or Technologies.

I hate to read into anything too much at this point - but that might be good news?? Anyone else receive this email who applied?

I just received an email from Berkeley! :) They're sending out early admissions decisions.

Although I'm slightly confused because I applied for their concurrent degree program.. do you hear from those departments seperately?

@mt999 congrats on Cooper Union!

Just received an email from I.I.T.. M.Arch I with advanced standing. Congrats on the admissions guys, 

@e.m.g - What program did you apply to?

I applied to the MArch + MCP program. Did you apply to Berkeley? Congrats on IIT...I have a lot of friends there and they love the program!

@juventus7

I got an acceptance email from IIT today but it doesn't say anything about advanced standing.  Did your email explicitly state that you were admitted with advanced standing?  I am assuming I didn't get it.

bummer haha. Oh well

Living in Chicago would be awesome, so I will definitely still consider IIT.  It would just be hard to justify 3 years of school when I can do 2 somewhere else.  Do you know if they ever reconsider advanced standing?
