<p>D applied last summer for DAAP Industrial Design as a transfer [Post Baccalaureatte]. She received a credit check of transferable classes from her undergrad [graduates in about a month]. Anyway, should she take that as a good sign? We did learn from DAAP admissions over a month ago that they will have room for some transfers this year.</p>
<p>Hey!</p>
<p>I’m a junior who will be applying this summer for DAAP: Industrial Design. I was wondering if it would be possible to double-major in something like Business or at least pick up a minor. </p>
<p>Also, is Greek Life a possibility? I know DAAP is time-consuming and rigorous, but I’d like to get involved in things like that.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t think you can double major because of studio time. But you can at least pick up a minor. </p>
<p>Greek life is possible. I know many folks in DAAP who are in frats and sororities. It’s a matter of planning your time wisely. If a house has a lot of DAAP kids in it, they’ll sometimes plan accordingly.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>How many people are in DAAP? Also, how many kids apply each year and get accepted? I’ve been trying to find the information online but I can’t seem to locate it.</p>
<p>For sure, DAAP it’s not the largest college at UC. Not sure how many apply but, according to the institutional research website, there’s about 2200 students in DAAP.</p>
<p>The 2200 students noted by Panthers is for all levels of DAAP including graduate school… DAAP accepts roughly ( and I am guessing a bit) 450 -500 kids per year if you count all programs. Digitial Design, alone accepted about 40-45 per year.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>When you say roughly 500 are accepted, does that mean 500 attend out of more accepted?</p>
<p>Almost every major at UC has some kind of stats on its academic page. Here it is for Industrial Design:<br>

<p>Here it is for Graphic Communication Design:

<p>Thanks for the info. I’m visiting DAAP next week and couldnt be more excited.</p>
<p>Cougar, the 500 students per year that I mentioned applies to those who matriculate. They do get many more applicants than the 500.</p>
<p>Traditionally, most arts and design schools aren’t that academically oriented. However, there some some exceptions such as DAAP, RISD, CMU, UCLA, Wash U St. Louis etc. If you have at least a 1250 ( M and CR) on the SAT ( with some majors requiring more such as Architecture) and top 20% of your high school, you should have a good chance for admission.</p>
<p>DAAP does get some very top kids there too. In my daughter’s freshmen year, three of the top Cincinatus winners attended a DAAP program. They usually get a nice complement of national merit scholars and semi-finalists too. However, with all that said, they still aren’t as tough for admission as an Ivy school or even an semi-Ivy.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help taxguy. Let’s hope I can pull this off; it’s by far my first choice!</p>
<p>@ ineo42, taxguy and of course others:D:D</p>
<p>Hi:D I recently got an offer from UC for their DAAP INTERIOR DESIGN…They also offer me the UC Global Scholarship (well…I am an international student:D)…I am looking for your advice here. Should I take this offer? (since I am also waiting for the result from another university). I’ve read a lot of good comments about the Architecture and Industrial Design program in this forum…but nobody has talked much about the Interior Design program…so I’m starting to wonder if UC’s Interior Design is good or not…If I confirm my admission…I should be enrolling in Fall 2011 (this year). But I have some queries and I hope any of you can help me out with this
Hmm…</p>
<p>Firstly, I found this review while researching about UC:
“University of Cincinnati DAAP
As much opportunity as this school has brought me, I hate every second I have to spend inside it.
Not to mention some of the design professors don’t even know how to use computers…”</p>
<p>and it was posted on 3/27/2011, so it’s quite recent…is this true? is there any current UC Interior Design student who would like to share their experience? this is really a concern to me because i think today, it’s important that the school teaches the student to use computer programs to help in the design and planning process…</p>
<p>Secondly, how’s the living condition in UC? is it better to live on or off campus? which one is cheaper and safer?</p>
<p>Thirdly, how’s the workload in the Interior Design program? Because I need to maintain 3.2 cumulative GPA for the renewal of scholarship each year…is it manageable?</p>
<p>Well…basically those are my questions I am terribly sorry that I am asking so many questions…but because this will be my first time staying so far away from my family so…of course, safety and quality of the school are very important to me and my parents. I hope any of you would share your experience and advice on this. Any reply is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot everyone. </p>
<p>P.S: if anyone have picture of DAAP buildings, dorm rooms or the studio…do you mind sharing them? since I am staying overseas I can’t really go there to check out the place…so yeah…if it’s not troublesome…do you mind uploading any pictures related to DAAP esp Interior Design? THANKS A LOT EVERYONE:D:D</p>
<p>NgXXXX, I have posted an answer to your identical post in another thread where you posted the same question.</p>
<p>@taxguy:
yup…i’ve read your reply…thanks a lot:D</p>
<p>hi everyone…does anyone know what is the different between Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and Bachelor of Interior Design? Likewise for Architecture:D Thanks:D:D</p>
<p>I know for architecture a B.S. degree and a B. Arch degree determines weather or not you have to go to grad school. Ask the question in the architecture forums here.</p>

<p>Oh okay…thanks a lot ineo42:D</p>
<p>Son is also a first year ID student, living in Daniels. Aside from “social” benefits of living on DAAP floor - there is also great value, and peace of mind, to knowing that there are always people shuttling back and forth from DAAP building and dorm at all hours - 24x7, there are likely emergency supplies on hand when you run out of some absolutely necessary art supply at the dawn end of an all-nighter, or are , at the very last minute, running critically low of ink that only the DAAP-required printers use. It is not the most pristine of buildings on campus, but it has been an excellent “home base” for the first year experience. You also have to pass the Rec Center at least twice a day, so there is adequate incentive to stopping in for a workout or to blow off steam. As for meeting other students - in addition to Foundation Year programs, most first year students also take Art History, English and Math courses with the rest of the campus, and there are plenty of extra-curricular activities that draw across majors - from both the residential and commuting student populations.</p>
<p>Pictures of DAAP facilities can be found on the UC website here : [Facilities</a>, University of Cincinnati](<a href=“http://daap.uc.edu/about/facilities.html]Facilities”>http://daap.uc.edu/about/facilities.html). Check out the left nav area for details on galleries, design/production shops and other DAAP building amenities.</p>
<p>You can pretty easily find dorm photos also from the main UC web site - there are interior and exterior shots for each Dorm. Incoming Freshman are usually in Daniels or Sidall, although there are some Freshman in the Honors dorm and also across the street from DAAP in Stratford Heights apartments.</p>
<p>I’m a high school senior this year who was accepted into DAAP’s Industrial Design program. I love the school and the vibe on campus, and I feel that if I choose UC, I will fit in really well. But I am very nervous about the co-op program (finding housing during co-ops, transportation, etc.) and the rigorous workload… Does it get easier after the first co-op experience?</p>
<p>Also, I want to be involved on campus, like joining greek life - having that “college experience.” And with all of the co-ops, is it hard to find that “college experience?” (I’m not necessarily talking about parties, just having any free time to hang with friends)</p>
<p>I have also been accepted to Ohio State, who offered me loads more money than UC did, and Auburn University. And I am waiting to hear back from Virginia Tech… Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
