Undergraduate Degree/ School/ Year graduated Hamilton College, B.A. in Geosciences GPA - GRE - TOEFL GPA: 3.3, GRE: N/A, it's the devil Letter of recommendations Undergrad geoscience professors (academic and thesis advisors) Personal Essay/Statement Architecture generally and how the built environment transforms people and is a multisensory experience in the same way that the natural environment is with ties to my experience in the geoscience (literal) field. Portfolio Same themes as my personal statement; geoscience thesis and research projects, subway car redesign, sink design, NYC townhouse, creative writing (1 short story, 1 poem), 1 personal drawing, misc. photography (not at all professional lol) Schools Pratt M.Arch I, Parsons M.Arch I, NYIT M.Arch I Open house impressions Didn't go to any, but I figure Pratt is boujie so it'll be nice, saw video tour from design students at Parsons, and haven't seen NYIT. | I did go to their open houses and all of the professors that came seem really cool, somewhat laid-back, but about their shit. Results Pratt: just got my acceptance, I'm f- screaming | Parsons: waiting (in)patiently | NYIT: asked for an interview yesterday Tips I don't know since I don't have an architecture background, but NYIT faculty did give me this gem. If you are not from an architecture background applying to grad school, (1) they DO NOT expect you to know much if anything about architecture and (2) highlight your undergrad or outside projects that were interesting to you or you worked really hard on and your creative or research process.
