<p>Hello,
I'm an international student at the Savannah College of Art & Design and have just finished my freshman year. I applied to Cornell's Architecture in the past as a freshman but did not get in. This coming year, I will continue my 2nd year studio and prepare for the Transfer application in March. As I haven't got the chance to visit Cornell's studio, I would like to hear reflection, advices from Cornell's architect and others about my works. I've documented part of my 1st year portfolio and would like to hear advices, reflections, comments from Cornellian architects and others. Here's the link: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/smoothdesigner/sets/72157621237046422/%5B/url%5D">http://www.flickr.com/photos/smoothdesigner/sets/72157621237046422/</a></p>
<p>My reason for transferring, at this point, is the preference for an even more conceptual, theoretical, and design based program. Studying at an art school, except for Architecture History courses, we lack the benefits from strong liberal arts fields such as Humanity, Psychology, Sciences, etc. Additionally, selective admission to Cornell's program brings very strong students, facilitate the needs of learning not just through excellent faculties but through students with students. The process works differently from SCAD's Architecture: students are welcome to choose Architecture, but get through strong filter of the 1st and 2nd year. This would help me reflect better on my education trail with other classmates.</p>
<p>Other suggestions for the transfer admission process (re-taking SAT, competition, interview, resume', school visit, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.</p>
