jack > Like you and shorty I've been accepted at UofO in general, but have not heard from the arch dept. Sad part is I liked the dept when I toured, (kids have microwaves under their studio tables!) got along well with the dean and she looked at my portfolio, 'liked' it, and made a few small suggestions, yet I FORGOT to send them my portfolio, just plain forgot... at times I'm an idiot... So I won't hear from them.

Good luck to you and shorty.

angie > sorry, no digital portfolio, hey I'll trade you USC for one of the others !

shorty> do you know if Syracuse finished Slocum Hall?

-sara

noopsgnitaenam

Slocum is supposed to be finished by the fall and if it isn't they said they'd be mad.

shorty08

yeah what noopsgnitaenam said is right. that's exactly what they said when i went to visit over the summer. does anyone happen to know when they release decsions? i know that it said in the middle of march on the website but i was just wondering if anyone knew the specific date in march...

shorty08

oh and i meant to say that i had surgery before i took the SAT

jackht27

i'm kind of nervous though,
my portfolio for UofO was pretty weak....

:/

angie4life14

archkid - ill definitely take USC haha
