Hey guys. I have a few questions about the MDes program at Harvard GSD.
Does it require (or strongly prefer) architecture / urban planning background from applicants? It seems like they have a strong preference from the website and student works they posted. However, some students I knew from this program are not doing anything architecture related at all... I am quite confused.
I have a design background from college, and my portfolio focus more on interaction design and user experience design. I mentioned some but not so important experience related to spatial planning in my essay. Do you think I still have a chance to get in?
Thanks!
