  1. @thisoldhouse: Sorry to hear that your Pratt experience has been disappointing. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I must admit that I have reservations about Pratt's price tag, and some other aspects of their program. It seems like Pratt might be a great fit for some people, but I'm getting the impression that it's kind of a niche in the planning school world.
  2. Yes, finally! Still waiting to hear from Hunter and NYU, though I'm leaning towards programs that are based in design schools. So I'm looking seriously at Columbia, Pratt and Penn, weighing Penn's program (which on paper I really like, though I haven't been there to visit yet) vs. going to school in NYC, where I ultimately want to work. Anybody else have any leanings yet?
  3. Well, now it seems like every GSAPP program except urban planning has sent out responses. How much longer can they possibly make us wait?! At the risk of admitting to an overly analytical tendency, I did notice that the gradcafe posts about Columbia planning from the last few years have consistently been clustered around Fridays. Meaningful, or a coincidence? Anyone else going nuts from waiting?
  4. I am also waiting to hear, but while I wait, I am trying to figure out how good a fit Columbia's urban planning degree is for someone interested in placemaking and urban design. It is housed in an architecture school that also offers an urban design degree, so obviously the courses are available. Does anyone know whether it's common for planning students to take advantage of them? Penn's program has an established urban design track within CRP, but Columbia does not seem to. Just wondering if there are any other prospectives (or even current students) who can shed some light on this, i.e., whether Columbia is a good fit for a planner with a strong interest in design. Thanks.
