MArch & MA: Digital Design

[ayags]

Hi! I have just applied to a few programs and I'm just looking for some advice to see if I have a shot I guess. Also looking for any schools in Europe besides University College London that have what I'm looking for. 

A little background on me, I got my Bachelor of Science Interior Design at Drexel University in Philly with a minor in Art History. I graduated with a 3.3 GPA and a pretty solid portfolio (my strong suit is definitely my renderings). For the past 2 years I have been teaching at the Community College of Philadelphia as an adjunct professor teaching AutoCAD and Intro to Architecture, Design and Construction. I kind of fell into teaching but absolutely love it and love the flexibility and freedom it gives me to be creative in my spare time. Obviously with this, I need to get my masters to continue teaching at the collegiate level.

My goal is to go into Exhibit and Installation design so I have applied to a variety of different programs involving this field. Mostly, I want to get more digital design knowledge (I currently am fluent in CAD, Revit, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, Laser Cutting and a little sketchup) but I want to learn more about 3D printing, CNC Routing which entails Rhino and 3DS Max. 

Mostly, I am curious if I have a shot at some of these reach schools of mine. But also if anyone has any insight into some more European Schools that have what I'm looking for it would be greatly appreciated. 

1. UCLA 

2. California College of the Arts 

3. Portland State University

4. Pratt Institute 

5. WashU

6. UCL 

????? 

Thinking about: 

1. Sandberg Institute (Amsterdam) - Studio for Immediate Spaces

2. University of Applied Science Europe (Berlin) - Media Spaces 

3. London South Bank University - Digital Architecture and Robotics

4. Piet Zwart Institute (Rotterdam) - Interior Architecture

THANKS FOR READING & HELPING!
