| Hey Sara,
Thanks for sharing your 'saga'.
I knew Wentworth back in the seventies when it was a two year commuter trade school. I lived very closeby and my then girlfriend went to high school down the street. When WIT first came up on my son's radar I was reluctant at best. I've since learned how much the school has changed. Very different school and program now, and they are still improving. They are about to build a student center, something that the lack of keeps them off those 'rankings' and I'm sure you are aware they have just received NAAB accreditation to upgrade to a 5yr MArch. My kid compared Wentworth with the other schools that accepted him, -some that are also on your list- and he chose WIT. He's happy so I'm thrilled. Last week, at his highschool, he sat for a photo with his graduating class of 42 kids all wearing their college sweatshirts. There were two Harvards, a Yale, MIT, CMU, UCBerekley, Stanford, Georgetown, Chicago, and a bunch of others, but the kid with the happiest grin was the one in the Wentworth shirt!
You, my son and the rest of your classmates will establish Wentworth's place in the future of architecture. |
