<p>Thought I'd start one for CU 2013 Arch Admissions.
I believe we've all sent our home tests in by now.
We can share our projects + ask questions + congratulate one another here. :)
Everyone goodluck!</p>
<p>Hey thinart, I’ve sent in my hometest also! What kind of concept did you use for it?</p>
<p>I’ve heard this is the last year they’re charging free tuition, and it appears to be that their debt situation has been extremely publicized…do you think that impacts this year’s number of applicants?</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply.
My overall concept wasn’t rly a theme. Well if I have to come up with one it’s “transparency”. I had a section from each prompt go into the last one “eclipse” so I guess that unifies the whole thing? What was yours?</p>
<p>Well they accept 20-30 each year, and last year was 22, so I guess the least they accept is 20. Haha I read your posts that mention you’re an asian male? Where’re you from?</p>
<p>I’m guessing you saw that in the Cornell forums haha</p>
<p>Alot of peoples’ that were accepted had themes. Mine didn’t have one theme but there were a few like common traits shared between hometest answers to kinda unify them. We can swap hometests and compare if you want. I used alot of shadows and biology in mine.</p>
<p>I heard the current class at Cooper only has 18 students left…4 dropped out, that seems scaryyy :S</p>
<p>You mean the 20-30? I think it was on their web xD</p>
<p>Lol I’d love to swap tests, but I still don’t have my pictures. My friend has them on his camera and I haven’t gone around to his place yet. Yours sound interesting though!</p>
<p>4 dropped out by the second year? O.O That is really, really scary. I read from a cooper masters student’s blog that the max number of seats for year 5 studio class is 15…
Well I’m not worried, I’m sure I’ll hold up as long as I get in. I’m a try hard to the extreme LOL.</p>
<p>4 is actually not so bad. It’s usual for at least a little less than half of the class of the first two years to drop out or fail the semester. If you fail you have to wait a year until you can take architecture classes again. And alot of people who put in the work still come out with C’s. After third year it seems to gets less intense (mostly first and second year students work from 8 am to 2am everyday), but it’s generally not uncommon for people to cry in the middle of a crit.</p>
<p>Not trying to intimidate you, just informing you guys of what to perpare for if you get in.</p>
<p>did anyone got any mails or emails of the decision?</p>
