THE BAC
www.bac.edu

And Even though I hate to say it sometimes........
newschool of architecture

www.newschoolarch.edu

I mention Newschool only because 100% admissions rate
if thats what you mean by safety

General View of newschool:

Not everyone at newschool belongs in architecture....A lot of people dont have the passion (especially in the undergrad) but I believe that there are many very talented individuals that would surprise you.
I have seen many people who dont belong at newschool, they are way too talented(by what is considered newschool standard). The Faculty I believe is like everyother school...Some are good and some just suck.....

I am a Graduate student at Newschool of Architecture....

in my second year....My Studio Professor (Marcel Sanchez).....Is Pushing us Hard Probably one of the best professors I have had...He is a really great instructor..... Sometimes I am surprise that I am able to keep up with him...But Architecture is what I want to do.....

If I can go back I would probably have tried to gone to SciARC....but there is no going back....And I hold no Regrets.....I work Hard and I know I am capable of hanging with the best of you....


So there you go for Safety---non ultra-competitive environment,

Oh Yeah I heard The bac has 100 percent Admissions rate as well....

But my safety's Harvard

So you got into Oxford and the Sorbonne then, Holz?

O R they?

thanks difficultfix, I've got BAC on the list, but haven't looked at NewSchool yet, I'll have a look. mdler, funny guy, and helpful, I forgot helpful.

have yet to apply. but it is my safety (AA, ETH)

Last year the "AMAZING" Sci-Arc had a 70% acceptance rate. that seems like a good safety school. As Long as you have the money to waste.

Apparently there are a good number of highly regarded schools that have relatively high acceptance rates. Sci-Arc and Michigan come to mind, with 70% and 80% acceptance respectively.

In other words, a high acceptance rate is not synonymous with a low-quality education.

mich's acceptance rate is more like 55%, which in and of itself is ludicrously high

it is higher for 3+

Does your state of residence have an in-state school offering an MArch? Would save money on tuition, too.

if you're a california resident, check out ucla, berkeley, and cal poly pomona. last one is probably the least competitive. all of them are a great deal for residents. there's also cca, although more expensive than the state schools mentioned above.

dapotato:

Cal poly Pomona is not least competetive.
Last year we had less than a 15% acceptance rate for the M Arch program and 5% for undergrad.
get your numbers right.

Tough school, there mdler... a certain tiny individual that lives at my house successfully took on that curriculum while riding a pretty similar vehicle.

princeton?

whats tuition for new school?

anyone know recent acceptance rates for Ohio State?

CU Denver has a high acceptance rate. something like 80% ish, but I'm not sure how much I'd recommend it.

my safety is columbia

mdler that picture is genius
