Dear Alina,
I regret to inform you that on the basis of Core gradepoint average, portfolio, and essay review, you have not been admitted to the program or programs of your choice. A thorough review by the faculty took place. Selection was based on scholarship, review of studio work, and the essay.

Advisors from each department within the College of Design are available throughout the summer to discuss alternatives within the College or in other programs in the university. We strongly suggest that you contact your advisor to set up an appointment. We will make every effort to help you arrange a satisfactory program of study leading to the most timely graduation date possible.

If you still wish to pursue the program you applied to, you have the option to improve and resubmit your work, and/or to repeat courses to improve your gradepoint average and portfolio, prior to the Spring 2008 review. Please discuss this with your advisor.

While the outcome of this review undoubtedly is disappointing to you, there are many programs of study in and out of the College that can provide you with rewarding educational and professional opportunities. We stand ready to help you plan a program of study that best suits your educational goals.

Sincerely,

Kate Schwennsen, FAIA
Associate Dean for Academic Programs
