I applied to The University of Tennessee M Arch track 3 and haven't heard anything back yet. It is the only school i applied to because it is in state and the more affordable option than going out-of-state. Clemson and Virginia Tech are good schools that were an option but i decided not to apply this year. UT is on Spring break this week and i hope to hear something by the end of the month.
My undergrad degree is in construction engineering, i have worked for a architect for 8 years and i have a strong art background. They say that they do like job experience. Lets hope for the best.
