In light of Columbia, Yale and Princeton notifying yesterday, can we expect a few more today? Harvard? MIT?

For anyone who applied to Princeton/Yale/MIT/Harvard and didn't get accepted to the first 2 yesterday: what do you figure our shot at the latter 2 is? >.<

Hey everyone!

Long time lurker, but first time posting. this thread and site have been extremely helpful throughout the process, but i feared once i started posting i wouldn't be able to stop...we'll see if this comes true or not. in any case, i am glad (and relieved) to annouce that i just got accepted into GSAPP! Yay columbia!

To everyone who go in to Yale, congrats, it's a fantastic place with a ton of resources and fun students. I'm a current Yale senior (undergrad) and who applied for grad school and have not heard back yet :( Hopefully there will be some more acceptance emails coming out today, cuz it hurts to be rejected from your home institution (your faculty wrote the recommendations! what more could you want, bob?? haha)

best of luck to everyone else!

ah...right. Scholarship does not equal financial aid, sorry, mind slipped due to a bout of euphoria. Congrats to you and the rest as well.

I love how the acceptance includes the $18,900 tuition figure, or the fact that Yale projects $55,000 a year.

Euphoria over.

Congrats to all the GSAPP people! Awesome news!

For all those hopeful about more admissions from them (myself included), I just contacted them and said they'd be doing them in batches. *crosses fingers*

jaymo24:

Me too, couldn't sleep at all after hearing people were getting in after midnight. But looking at the results from last year, they seemed to let everyone know who got in within a few days. But who knows...I'm just trying to convince myself there's hope lol. Good luck!

How many of you Columbia kids had an undergrad degree in architecture. It sounds like they have only sent either M.arch I's or advanced degrees?

Is anyone else thinking of applying to more schools even though it's past the deadline?

I wonder how that would go over, which schools would be most open to it.

jhooper

amnesiac - The email i got said i was accepted to the 3 year program, but I may check into seeing if I could get some classes waived since we had a ton of structures & such at cincy. We'll see. Still waiting to hear from more schools.

I graduated in '07 so I don't really remember how they notified me 6 or so years ago.

the count so far:

In;
Michigan
Columbia

Waiting to hear:
yale
pratt
risd
princeton
mit
gsd

So much for taking my own advice to only apply to a select number of schools.

alright, since i heard from one school now, here we go

In;
GSAPP

waiting to Hear
GSD
MIT
Princeton - probably rejected... :(
Yale - Probably rejected as well

definitely should have applied to more schools for the sake of my mental health.... :(
