Has anyone heard back from CSM yet? Offers or rejections? If so how many weeks ago was your portfolio review? What pathway did you choose?

No haven't heard back from them yet. My portfolio was on 10th feb, when was yours? 3D and Architecture, what about you?

My portfolio review for CSM is tomorrow, any advice from people who have already had theirs?

And I have my work already mounted on card, will they be really bothered by this?

(*review was on the 3rd, oops) I'm unbelievably nervous. Hate being in limbo. Where else have you applied?

Good luck! Try and be punctual but don't worry too much if you're late because the groups are rotated and called again until 12. Just be calm and polite, all you do is leave your work out for them to look at :smile:

What pathway have you applied for? Card's not ideal but it's your work they're interested in at the end of the day, don't think it will go against you. I just think they discourage it because it's heavy and not particularly necessary.

Ooh okay, thanks! :smile:

I've applied for the Graphic and Communication Design pathway.

No problem! I was tempted to choose graphics and communication but I decided to dabble a bit in everything first (if i get in.) Where else have you applied to? :smile:

Mine was pretty awkward because our tutor guy asked us to open our portfolios and then he left us for what seemed like forever in an awkward silence, looking at each other's front pages. That didn't happen to my other friends applying though so I'm sure you'll be fine :smile:

You just go in, lay your portfolio on a table, open it up and then check a hard copy of your application form, certificates etc. Good luck for tomorrow!

Ah cool my friend goes to Leeds and she's loving it :smile:

I haven't applied anywhere else.. risky move but I only want to study at CSM. Not sure what I'm going to do if I don't get in! Haha yeah it didn't help the situation but met some nice people.
I still haven't heard anything, have you? Everyone keep updated on any news! Fingers crossed!

I know! They keep doing that to me too and everytime I see the letter C in my inbox I momentarily freak out. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer, good luck!

My review was on the 3rd and I went for fine art..It's such a long wait compared to others! I didn't apply anywhere else either so I'm super stressed out..
