I came across this tread on the Archinect and thought it would be helpful to start one here for anyone who’s thinking of applying for graduate school. The original Archinect discussion thread can be found here http://www.archinect.com/forum/threads.php?id=96972_0_42_0_C>
please take a moment to post as much information as you are would like
to provide about your application to 2010 mla, mup, mud programs.
information that would be helpful is as follows. please feel free to +
and/or – according to preference.
– age/sex/ethnicity
– undergraduate degree/ school/ year graduated
– gpa
– gre scores
– # of letter of recommendations/ from who (this can be general;
employer, professor, etc.)
– post a link to your portfolio if you are open to sharing this
– list any preparatory programs (summer, community college, design
courses etc.) an assessment of the program would be helpful as well
– schools applied to (results [in, out or waitlist], any $ offered, any
other pertinent info)
– open house impressions, if any
– final decision (the school you plan to attend in 2010. if you remain
undecided or waiting for waitlist results, just make note of the schools
you are still choosing from and maybe provide an update once you’ve
made a choice.)
the information you share should be factual and honest. please keep it
real. the intention of this thread is to create an archive of the
process and experience of applicants this year. as always, feel free to
alter as you wish since the points of interest noted above are just a
quick reference. it’s time for us who have been fortunate enough with
success in this process to pay it forward. thanks in advance for taking
the time to post what is very personal information for the benefit of
those to come.
