Architecture Applicants 2013!

What's the UCAS deadline? Also 3 weeks isn't a long wait for Sheffield, I sent mine off over 2 months ago and some people on here sent theirs in November and still don't have a decision

Where do you think you will be happiest living for 3 years?


Just think, got to go through all this again for part 2.

I go through phases of thinking Cardiff and phases of thinking Sheffield, there's nothing to separate them! Getting onto part two isn't as hard though right?

It's 31st of march and I just got an 'unsuccessful' from Sheffield, they said it was because I got a B as gcse phusks :'( dear oh dear! Hope yours goes well

Oh wow, sorry to hear that . The competition must be crazy for the last few places... I hope to hear from them soon!

Just got my feedback from my application to GSA, apparently it's based on the stage 1 assessment:

Academic status
Motivation
Programme awareness
Experience
References

And if you meet all criteria there's the interview assessment:

Ability to discuss architecture/msa barch programme
Ability to apply practical skills
Ability to analyse/explore ideas
Ability to discuss work and put in context

And each of them are marked and there's a threshold number which I assume if you get more than you get an offer!

I only got one thing for the stage 1 assessment so that was good haha

Of course! Well for starters the department was very friendly and impressive too! First we had an introductory talk explaining the course structure and then a tour of the studios. After that we did a little design task in small groups and presented our ideas, which was really fun! we also got some information about the placements and erasmus scheme..that's about it!

that sounds nice! i assume you liked the studio space? grrrrrr I really do want to firm Bath, but i'll have to wait until US universities give their offers.

You're applying to US universities? Which ones?

Does anyone know how long Northumbria take to respond after an interview??

quite a few, 9 places to be exact. MIT, Yale, CooperUnion, Columbia, UPenn, Rice, Cornell, Syracuse and IIT.
I received offers from Syracuse and IIT so far, and MIT result comes out in 5 hours

I had my interview Wednesday 6th and got my response yesterday, so should be a week!

Dang. That's quite a handful, bet all those applications were fun, haha. Yeah I have friends in some of those programs, and I've heard great things about Syracuse and UPenn. You must be quite smart, those schools aren't easy to get into. Good luck, let me know what MIT says. Fingers crossed for ya

I am really stuck between firming Cardiff or Sheffield, what would you guys do? I just can't choose!
