Hey everyone,
I just received an email inviting me to an interview for the M.Sc. in Architecture program! I know this interview is the crucial step that determines whether I get admitted or not.
Since I really want to ace this, I would love some advice from current students, alumni, or anyone who has gone through the graduate architecture interview process here.
What kind of questions do they usually ask? Is it mostly a portfolio review, or do they ask theoretical/academic questions?
Who usually sits on the interview panel? Is it the department head, potential thesis advisors, or a mix of professors?
What are they strictly looking for to grant admission? (e.g., strong research interest, specific software skills, design philosophy?)
For those who passed: What did they expect from you, and do you have any specific recommendations or advice for the day of the interview?
I’m a bit nervous but incredibly excited. Any tips or insights would mean the world to me!
Thanks in advance!
