all the cooper home tests are flying in by the dozens. excitement is in the air. letters go out in about 3 weeks. good luck as well to everyone!

I received an acceptance letter from ASU last week! I'm excited because it looks like life forces are pushing me to move to that city.

Jazz - are you M.Arch? What path did you apply to? Just curious. thanks,

M Arch Path B....

whats wrong with the commiserate thread?

Has anyone received a call for the MLA program at uva?

hey danny, do the envelopes with the acceptance letters for cooper differ in thickness than the rejection letters?

like i remember when applying to colleges the first time around, a thin, regular sized envelope in your mailbox meant doom before you even opened it, and the thicker ones meant there was plenty of literature inside signaling acceptance.

*currently experiencing post-application-pins-and-needles-paranoia*

Ughgh I got a package from Syracuse the other day, thought it would be an acceptance letter since it was so packed. It was just information about the program. Boooooo

: \

yep. i just got my UVA call today. It makes me feel so much better about this whole process!

M.Arch Path A

yikes. me too. no phone call yet.

March path B for me...no call. no mail. nada. nervous

My son got into the Indy Public School Magnet Program we applied for as our first choice! YES!!!!! Goodbye to tuition for at least the next five years!!!!

(See, it's a lifelong process.)

Ya HOO! Liberty. I have been thinking about taking our Big Boy Matisse to School. They have these classes where dogs jump over things crawl thru things and race around crazy. I figure he would be a star as all of the above he is well qualified to carry out. Think it might be good for his general behavior, to be out and about with some other dogs... Damn I'm Sounding like a Parent! I promise you one thing I will not be sending him to College, Thank God or Whoever!

uhhhhh: i'd like to keep it as a surprise for you, you know just to keep the tension even stronger.. but the acceptance letters are in a large white envelope, while everything else is in a normal sized letter envelope.

uuuh, we knew that

uhhhhh, i was responding to uhhhhh's question, ff33

oh uhhh, right.

ha! just the kind of kind of conversation i was hoping my username would one day elicit.

fuck. well at least i know now without even opening the damn thing.

*le sigh*

uhhh, glad you liked it

i applied to uva for the MLA and no call yet.... maybe they are seperate... i hope. uhhhg.

as did I (MLA at UVA) and have not received the "phone call." sigh.

I will buy every Archinector a beer if I get in at Cooper.
But you all must come to Detroit.

ooooo, higherness did you apply for transfer?? what year???? (if you don't mind me asking)

hopefully the uva calls for mla are later than the march...

uhhhhhhhhh I am applying as a freshman.

oh crap

I hope the UVA MLA is separate too - I really need to stop fueling my anxiety by reading these threads...

The MLA at UVA was not too far behind - just received an acceptance e-mail.

@stonerock-

maybe they are going in alphabetical order - what's the first letter of your last name, if i may ask?

stonerock... what is your background? architecture, larch, other? just curious...

i think i'm getting an ulcer

For the last name, I'm in the middle, so I wouldn't be surprised if more e-mails are to be sent.

I have my undergrad degree in science.

congrats by the way.... whooahhh my anxiety just took over!!! sorry about that! haha. I guess i was wondering if you were path A or path B?

No problem and thanks :) I've been on pins and needles since January, and I'm still waiting on other schools. I hate waiting.

that is exciting stonerock! what are your other choices? UVA is great school for Landscape Architecture!

@stonerock-

yes, congrats

i don't even remember which email i gave on my apps so that triples my nerves for the rest of the week

Yeah, UVa is doing great things for themselves and their students right now. The e-mail indicated this year's admissions was the most competitive in the program's history, which is another indicator of their current strengths.

My list:
OSU
UPenn
University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign
Berkeley
UVa
GSD

I really hadn't expected to hear anything from most of them until next week, so the e-mail last night came as a big surprise.

weird. i didnt get an email. i got a phone call. Do you think the email will arrive soon?

thats a great list of schools... i only applied to four... gsd, uva, berkeley, and ut austin.

what would be your top choice... assuming you got into every school??

I thought about Austin but decided I most likely would never practice/live in the South so decided against it. My top choice - ha - I'm just going to wait to see who wants me first.

Do you have a preference?

i just called virginia tech
they said i wont get my
acceptance (prayerfully)
until around the end of
march to mid april

gsd would be great...that is if i can get in. i applied 3 years ago out of undergrad to (my department head's wish) and i was on the waiting list. since then i moved to barcelona worked for an LA there and I am now in charleston,sc. i'm from boston and it would be nice to go home.

other than that i'm torn between uva and berkeley, but for some reason i don't think i'll get into berkeley?! haha. just a gut feeling. ut has some great things going for it as well, but the LA program is young so we'll see.

all else fails, i want to move back to europe! haha. i'm very nervous and def unsure about everything. it would be nice to know where i'll be in 6 months...which i'm sure everyone here would agree!

if you get a chance stonerock you should post your portfolio....
i posted mine http://www.archinect.com/forum/threads.php?id=70417_0_42_0_C

Yeah - moving to Europe would be the best Plan B :)

For some reason, I also have pessimistic feelings about Berkeley, probably because that was the first application and required two different essays.

I'll pass posting my portfolio. As a MLA 1 applicant without a strong design background, my work just isn't at the caliber as the majority of the portfolio postings. Perhaps later (and given that I can figure out how to post it and format to an acceptable file size) when all the yas or nas have been recorded.

Good Luck with admissions! I like the GSD too, and really hope you get in.

bcndaye, you should move to barcelona...i hear it's a pretty great place.

damn...uva is driving me crazy

botanicon... what is your background?

does UVA waitlist people?

haven't received anything from uva mla yet......
guess i m not in..sigh

I have a B.A. in Art History and a minor in Horticulture, I went to Career Discovery at Harvard this summer for LA and I thought that helped out my portfolio a lot, but I really wanted UVA

botanicon...where else did you apply
