Hi Tony,
I would like to update you on the status of my applications to grad school for architecture and landscape architecture. I am overjoyed to inform you that I received letters of acceptance to both University of Toronto (MLA) and University of British Columbia (MLA & MArch). In addition, UBC included a generous entrance scholarship with my admission offer. With this unexpected award I am leaning heavily towards UBC but I will spend the next few weeks considering my options.
I want to thank you for your support during the continuing studies course I took at Emily Carr. The project you created was well conceived for an introduction to architectural modeling and made for excellent additions to my portfolio. I also want to thank you for the time you spent looking over several drafts of my portfolio. I am certain that your suggestions helped make my application stand out to the admissions committees at UBC and UofT. I will let you know when I have made my final decision.
Best regards, BBD
