Class of 2015 Architecture Acceptances

@MontyPython123‌ i emailed them and asked if they could just tell me if i was rejected or nah lol

@thegrant same here, haven’t received anything yet. I emailed them as well but they haven’t respond yet. I really hope they could just tell us before Monday.

@Peggyc‌ i checked the cooper forum and the kids last year that got emails this late im pretty sure were all rejected… Same i emailed them too and never heard anything back, we probably wont hear anything today cause its easter, and most likely tomorrow i would think, if they dont ill just call

Still doing lots of revisits here. Is anyone definitely going to Syracuse, Drexel, or Roger Williams? Did anyone apply to Wentworth?

Where’s everyone planning on attending?

@CapeCodLady8‌ probably Carnegie Mellon, did u like Syracuse when u visited??

Yes, we visited Syracuse twice already, and going back to Accepted Students Days. Disappointed in the lack of merit aid unfortunately. While my son was accepted to a lot of nice schools, sadly we’re doing some Monday Morning Quarterbacking here in terms of schools to which he applied. :frowning:

I STILL NEVER GOT AN EMAIL FROM COOPER UNION LOL ALL THEY REPLY BACK WITH IS, “admission decisions will be released within the next few days”

I better get my rejection email tomorrow otherwise I will go crazy

@thegrant‌ Today should be the latest… they said first week of April :frowning:
