Oh that's great. I am about waiting to hear the same thing. I have a 5 year B.arch. I deliberately applied for the first-prof program- but want an advanced standing. when did they say your term will start?

Hi, Have you made your decision to go here or still contemplating ?

Hi all, accepted -Fall 2014, Masters in Interior Design. waiting for details on fin aid too.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Basically, what I was trying to find out was this: I am an International applicant - applied to various schools in US - Fall 2014 term - for M.Arch / M.I.A programs. I have been working as an Interior Designer in India / Dubai for last 12 odd years / graduated some 14 yrs back and am totally not in tune with the current education scene. Back in my day, in school, we did everything by hand drafting. Besides in offices, we have a 3d guy,the model guy, the drafting guy - etc on our teams). ( even in school we used to outsource all these stuff ! ). Well - you get the drift. I am not sure how the culture is different in US and at-least in schools- am guessing one needs to do everything by themselves? - so looking for advice on 1. what I should be prepared for ? 2. what software do I need to learn ? ( I only know autocad / indesign / photoshop - absolutely no idea about 3d max or any 3d softwares - always had a guy on my team to do that! ). SAIC where I have applied has told me that Rhino & grasshopper is used extensively. 3. How do architecture design studios in school work? 4. Do I have do lots of study models in different medium ? or is everything done in 3D ? ( I'm kinda worrying that going back to school is going to hit me like a ton of bricks- so trying my best to prepare myself mentally - and If I can learn some software beforehand- so that I wont be learning everything from scratch ) Appreciate all the advice.

How different is the M.Arch / M. Int Arch education in the US compared to India ?
