| I am afraid the fact is more chilling than fiction. archkid, by sitting in a graduate-level studio for a summer, you will learn a great deal of the clash between idealism and reality. No kidding. Wait and see what's going to happen is the best cure for a childlike if not childish claim.
I personally don't discourge women to stand for what they believe. But, work as twice as hard as your male collegues is nearly impossible ( the most competent, talented and hardworking male collegue of mine works 22/6, is that mathematically possible to accomplish?) and please take other factors into your decision making process. (Do you want to have a family, get married and have kids?) These things will jeopardize your career and force you to make difficult compromises. Good luck! I think CMU is a fantastic choice for you. (In fact, I was accepted last year and didn't attend). |
