2011 Architecture Acceptances

<p>accepted by pratt ^^</p>

<p>accepted to usc arch , uc berkeley arch, risd, pratt and saic
pending cooper </p>

<p>do you guys know when cooper will release its decisions?</p>

<p>Wow. Congrats on all the acceptances :)</p>

<p>me too. I got Pratt, CCA, and IIT. don’t know which to pick</p>

<p>@Kendezi: Thanks! I’m still waiting. But I think the probability is tooooo small. Now I’m trying to make a decision between Pratt and SCI-Arc. :)</p>

<p>@geeg9325: Congrats!!! You are really great! I guess Cooper is gonna send decisions by mails next week.</p>

<p>@Mayoka: I’ve read reviews from other people and they all seem to prefer SCI-Arc over Pratt. It seems that SCI-Arc has a better reputation than Pratt in architecture and it’s also cheaper than Pratt.</p>

<p>Got accepted in Virginia Tech and UVA … can’t decide whether I want a 5 yr BA or a 4-2 BS/MArch</p>

<p>@xchristineee: well, if money is not a problem, I think it would be better to go for a BS Arch + M Arch. I’m going for a 5 yr B Arch because my parents are not gonna pay for my graduate tuition XD.</p>

<p>Did anyone hear anything from Carnegie Mellon?</p>

<p>Accepted: Syracuse
Rejected: Penn State (my transcript arrived late T.T), UT Austin, Rice, Carnegie Mellon
So disappointed, I thought I can get into Carnegie Mellon T.T
I guess my grades aren’t good enough then because I thought my portfolio was pretty good.</p>

<p>accepted: umn, neu, syracuse, usc and cmu</p>

<p>I’m trying to decide between USC and CMU, does anyone have any knowledge of either programs?</p>

<p>@chancethy: I think CMU has a better reputation than USC. They both have NAAB accredited undergraduate and graduate programs. CMU has a more well-rounded program. I’m not too sure about USC. And the people at CMU are really nice. Well, at least they’re nice when I went there for summer program. Haha. Students are very willing to give help, even at 10:30 at night in the studio.</p>

<p>how about cal poly slo compared to usc. i got into both. i’m worried about more CA budget cuts.</p>

<p>Found out today that I got accepted to Cornell! I also received an acceptance to Pratt. Still waiting on Cooper.</p>

<p>My son:</p>

<p>Accepted: Virginia Tech (Arch), NC State (Arch), UNCC (Arch) and UTexas (Arch Eng)
Rejected: None
Attending: Virginia Tech! (which makes me happy as I am an alum)</p>

<p>My D: PSU, UMiami, Clemson, VT, Northeastern (attending), Syracuse, UOregon, Tulane</p>

<p>hi momofboston - is there any specific reason why your daughter chose northeastern over all the other schools? the program? location?</p>

<p>tiffip - Yes… here goes…

  1. Study abroad in Berlin - the german govt is spending tons of money on transitioning their govt buildings into green buildings so they are on the forefront of implementing green tech in urban environments. Other programs study in Rome and Florence - great history but not as relevent to today’s challenges
  2. Coop, Coop, Coop - she will graduate with at least a year of arch experience under her belt along with a ready-made network
  3. 4+1 Masters (although it takes 6 years because of coop)
  4. Location - everyday is a lesson in urban arch plus it’s Boston with 250K college students in the surrounding area
  5. NEU global focus - arch is becoming a global profession and NEU is all about global opportunities. There are opportunities to go on “Dialogues” which are 4-8 week trips with a professor to study a particular issue - i.e. emerging cities in China or even do an international coop
  6. Regular arch firm crawls - the opportunity to visit with firms and learn about their current projects - because of the location
  7. George Thrush, Dir of the Program - he is a very engaging person with a very compelling vision for the program. He is evolving the program to be relevant to today’s issues, practical and not “pie in the sky”…he will teach the students to design innovative office buidings and urban structures, not castles.</p>

<p>My son;
Accepted to Tulane, Umich, Rice, Cornell (final choice), CMU, U Chicago(non archjtecture)
Rejected from Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Upenn</p>
