illiap, congratulations on going to Pratt!! wow, that is just fantastic for you, I am excited to see someone in here who is doing something that I want to do. My dad has told me he will pay for graduate school if I decide that is something I want to do, and I do, I have been thinking about it alot. I found out about NYU and a progam they hvae there in Interactive Telecommunications, pretty cool program.
What was it like to prepare for trying to get in there? Pratt is a very good school, I have been reading about their programs. And New York is a place I feel destined to go to, and to combine that city with school would be unreal.

So if you have any suggestions for me, that would be awesome. I am in my last year of college as an Advertising major/Architecture minor, my grades are not that good, but I am guessing they look at alot more than that. Did you have to take the GRE? Alot of those design graduate programs say they want people who show promise, and seem like they really want to learn alot to give them a good future, and that is certainly a big part of who I am .
Any suggestions about portfolio, reccomendations, grades, stuff like that I would appreciate. You've obviously done it, so I think you could offer good advice. It's an oppurtunity I have, and if I could get into a grad school that would be fantastic, would make my parents very proud, not to mention the amazing things I could learn and be around.

Good Luck with the drive, hope you can get around some of those fires!
