第一次在這發文，如有排版或文字不順還請見諒 小弟不才，今年申請了5間米國的MARCH全部槓龜(抖) 原本已經把網頁跟作品集重新整理準備找工作了 就在今早，收到了其中一所學校所寄來的信。原文如下 Dear Chung, Although we regret that the admissions committee was unable to accept your application for the M.ARCH program for fall 13, we would like to suggest an option that we think might interest you. We sincerely hope you will consider Pratt’s Facilities Management program. With the administration's emphasis on the "greening" of America, facility managers are going to be very important players in the Real Estate industry. They will be responsible for allocations of funds, and most cities will need people who can upgrade and maintain systems and buildings already in place. Facility managers will be the implementers of the sustainability theme, keeping our buildings running efficiently. Facilities Management emerged over the last decade as a new area of expertise as communities, corporations and institutions systematically plan for growth and change. Despite the current downturn in many professions, the need for facilities managers continues. Pratt's graduate program in Facilities Management Prepares individuals to assume executive responsibilities in the management of facilities and equipment as assets, to assure a quality environment and cost-effective investment. The facilities manager assumes a distinct set of responsibilities including strategic planning, financial forecasting and budgeting, real estate acquisition and disposal, architectural/engineering planning and design, construction management, maintenance and operations management, and the integration of new technologies into existing and planned facilities. Facilities Management students may take electives in construction management and also in Pratt's other programs in the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment, including Environmental Systems Management (soon to be renamed Environmental Policy and Sustainability), City and Regional Planning or Historic Preservation. The FM program is a recognized provider by the IFMA Foundation. The IFMA Foundation has developed standards to recognize quality facility management first-professional degree programs at colleges and universities. The recognized program initiative was designed to recognize and encourage the strengthening of current, valid facility management education degrees and to assist in the development of new facility management degree programs.

If you would like to be considered for this program or have questions, please contact our Director of Graduate Admissions, xxxxxxxx, at xxxxxxxxxx or by calling xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. 我不太確定這封信的意思是要我可以直接轉讀這個program還是會另外審查 畢竟4/15已經過了難道會為了我另開審查會議嗎XD 我已經寫信問了學校關於這問題，但還是想問說有無前輩有遇過類似的問題。 另外Facilities Management這好像是個新領域，我GOOGLE一下裡面有個客座教授走BIM的 跟我現在跟未來想做的事情是一樣的，不過還是想請問有無前輩在這項目讀過或有涉獵呢 好像真的是非常新的東西，台灣沒有這項目，也只有在香港跟澳洲有查到。 感謝大大們耐心閱讀，小弟在此抱著既期待又怕受傷害的心情跟各位道謝。 PS 小弟大學念建築的 --
