2 year ,Master of Architecture, Path 2 degree program

Bachelor of Science in Architecture at The University of Texas at Arlington.
 

Congratulations!  Your portfolio must be impressive.  When I went through this, no UVa 3 for me.  Thin letter, baby!  I had a "most wanted" school and a "dream" school, which was UVa.

Bachelor of Science in Architecture at The University of Texas at Arlington.

GPA: 3.21

Portfolio:  http://issuu.com/lopes0421/docs/ml_final_port_issuu

hey guys, does anyone know the class size of M.Arch I at GSD? and studio size?

Lopes:

Nicely assembled and tasteful throughout.  Especially like the library and the community center.  You also show you are a talented artist through your graphics after the arch. projects.  Well deserved.

Thanks!

@lopes0421

how did you find out about UVA?

I just happened to check my "grad page" and my decision letter was posted.

lopes:

Times have changed ... and quickly.  Is your architectural portfolio done exclusively through computer graphics?  There is a concurrent thread on portfolio review, where the student is seeking input, and that seems to be the case. 

Folks, when did hand graphics go away?  I'm thinking mid 90s?

anybody got the letter from GSD yet? they said a few days, wonder how long...

@anyone

Anyone hear applied to Sci Arc seems like this year no body is even bringing them up

@Leif Estrada

I think, instead of posting the statistics of applicants here, we should do it by starting this year's traditional thread "201x M.Arch applicant Final results....". It's easier for future applicants to collect the info. Maybe the best time to do it is the end of next week, when most people already received answers from their schools.

By the way, I got the rejection mail from WUSTL yesterday.

No word from Pratt or WUSTL...where you guys at?!

@Tanuja

Still no word. So anxious. Where do you think you might go? Syracuse is looking like my plan for now. Although I did apply to Pratt and WUSTL as well. Pratt is extreeeeemly $$$, so for me to consider that ALONGSIDE living in Brooklyn for an arm and a leg....the aid needs to be pretty helpful. 

@thinkgreen

Unless I get into UPenn or something, it's Syracuse for me. I haven't heard anything about financial aid or advanced standing though. And you're right about Pratt- expensive school and in an expensive city! Let's see what happens...

To those of you who applied to the GSD and got accepted, I was wondering how you prepared for applying. It has been a goal of mine to  get into the GSD M-ARCH program and I hope to apply this fall. If you have any advise I would greatly appreciate it.

@observant

Yes. Mostly computer graphics. 

Happy to announce that i've been accepted to the M.Arch Path 2 (2-year) at UVA! The decision letter was on the web application, but no (e)mail yet.

In: UVA

Out: UCLA

Waiting: GSAPP, GSD, Princeton

Something I want to throw out there: I'm 23, have a BS Arch (4yr) from a public school, and I'm working full-time for a large, well-known firm as an arch. designer. Two of my project teammates went to Yale for their Masters, and they're doing the exact same tasks that I'm doing on a daily basis. The education, personal growth, industry focusing, and networking opportunities that result from graduate school will be totally amazing and worth it. I personally can't wait! But, please know there are so many Ivy league grads out there with 100k+ in debt doing many of the same jobs that graduates from UKentucky or Ball State (who have zero debt) are doing alongside them. I know a few students who pay $1000/mo in student loans (and will for 12 years), and that's a scary thing in our industry. So, for those who are trying to weigh decisions and awesome opportunities, definitely keep this kind of thing in mind, otherwise get those scholarships and TAs and have an awesome time in grad school! Good luck guys!

Best wishes,

Anyone knows about WUSTL scholarships?

How many students will get financial aid? How hard is it to get half tuition waiver?

Just got my GSD packet via FedEx - apparently I'm "admissible" for the MDesS in Critical Conservation, but since I'd listed the MUP as my first choice (mostly because I didn't think I'd get into the MDesS programme) I've been waitlisted unless I'd like to do a double degree. So technically I'm in for both the MDesS and MUP - woo!

@tomahawks619

I received a phone call from the Chair last week and was told I was accepted (M.Arch I, non-arch background). I'm waiting for more details via post. I'm sure more news will be coming out soon for all applicants!

Good luck everyone! We're almost through this, and the world will keep spinning. 

Fish bad days! forget about admit I am not even receiving spam emails :(

@lopes0421 and Bazookatooth. Was your letter under "Fall 2013 Admissions Process" column? I assume it'd be pretty easy to find so I'm thinking a no go for me or a waitlist. Unless it's tucked away somewhere in all that information on the mygrad page.

@agoodwinbrown 

I just logged into my application and it was at the bottom of the page.

@architintin - ditto :/

@watts

Congrats! Were you notified via email or did you just check the website?

I just got an acceptance email to GSAPP! And University of Illionis at Urbana Champaign...

Still waiting on the GSD though but I'm guessing it's a no.... Does anyone know when we're expected to hear if we're still waiting?

@ e.m.g. - which programs did you apply to?

.

Congrats, I picked the longest waiting schools to apply to....gsd and princeton results never coming out.

Columbia just in :D!!!!  for MArch 1 (with arch bg)...no rejections as of YET 

IN: Yale, Columbia, Cornell

waiting:

-GSD: expecting first rejection :(... had very average GRE scores and ok match with their school...

-Princeton: sure reject.. i dont think my interests align with them at all.  It is at the bottom of my list

-MIT: sentimental fav and the one im really looking forward to...

It has been unbelievable... just a month ago I was hoping to maybe get into cornell and so far im shocked at the options in front of me... when i first started bachelors i wouldnt even have dared to dream this big.... coming from a limited income, uneducated family (Im the first one to go to college), this is overwhelming... I am very grateful for this opportunity because education is a real privilege... 

Dreams do come true!
