<p>shouldnt I have heard back from CMU and pen state before WIT?
whats going on?</p>
<p>Thanks, FutureA7</p>
<p>WIT has rolling admissions, so they let you know right away. Penn State does it in batches I think. The others, I believe, are all in mid to late March.</p>
<p>Last year my son got his acceptance to Penn State's architecture program on Jan 11th (I just searched old posts) However, I think the deadline for applications was Nov 15th last year not Nov 30th. At that time, the kids who were accepted without portfolios were notified. If I remember correctly a few weeks later they notified a second group of students who were asked to submit a portfolio for consideration.</p>
<p>Many schools don't send out their acceptances until Spring. Some schools wait until they have everyone's applications in before sending out replies. Don't stress about not receiving replies yet, but you may want to check the school's website, many schools list dates on the website stating when you can expect a response.</p>
<p>Have you heard anything from Penn State yet? Do you know how big the freshman class is in Architecture? Thanks.</p>
<p>My son received his acceptance to Penn State in December. I think the letter said the class is about 60 students.</p>
<p>My son applied to USC. I was wondering if there is anyone who applied to USC Architecture that has received their acceptance letter yet.</p>

<p>A USC story for you.
I attended an arch education seminar at USC back in '07. As the host school, USC's Dean of Architecture gave the keynote and during his presentation he kept stepping away form the podium in an annoying way. After a while he stopped and explained that he always pictured Frank Lloyd Wright at that podium and had trouble standing there, feeling somehow unworthy. The crowd giggles and he acknowledges the laughter with a shrug, then he points directly at me saying; "You can't laugh, you see you're sitting in Frank Gehry's chair".
Later, we had a few laughs over it and for a few months exchanged e-mails which I always signed off as "From the guy in Frank Gehry's chair".</p>
<p>I got denied from Penn State, although they offered me a choice of any other major. So I can go, but I cant study architecture. </p>
<p>I got a big packet, and was really angrey to open it up. </p>
<p>Fresman Class=60</p>

I applied to USC as well and haven't heard anything either. They say decisions come by April 1st so I'd give it a while longer I guess.</p>
