I have a friend who was admitted to risd's architecture dept. without an interview. they sent out the acceptance letters via email, i believe. granted, different program, but i wouldn't get too worried as of now.
i'm pretty floored that no one has heard anything from any school's industrial/objects program yet. it's unfortunate because i know risd will want an answer for furniture soon...though i'm still waiting to hear from three programs.
ah, the wait continues. good luck everyone!
