Art applicants for 2012 entry

Oooooo when did you recieve your CSM interview, ive sent my portfolio pics by post but havent heard back yet!
I've also applied for Chelsea and only got an email saying they would send me further info regarding my application, havent even been asked to send any pictures yet

Do you think they'll bother sending out emails on the weekend? I'm thinking we might hear on Monday, but I was so sure we'd all have known by yesterday... it seemed logical, y'know?

They might do, I've had emails from Slade during the night before. I think I read earlier in this thread that the rejections usually come out before the interviews but im not 100% sure.

That's my fault, its what the tutor told me last year, but I guess its changed. Kinda hoping hey are doing it in order of when ur portfolio review was as mine was on the Friday but I'm sure someone on here will have some info to smash that theory. Oh welll, glasgow is technically my first choice.

Yes I expected the internet so I'm quite surprised they've sent a letter.
But so happy, I have an interview!!!

Here is a copy paste of what my flatmate sent me, kindly typing it out...:

i'll let you know on fridaayyyy
I think they're coming to do internal interviews like for camberwell (which i think ran late too) so hopefully it wont be as stressful and prettty similar
Just try keep your mind off it... i just wanna hear back from goldsmiths and brighton nowww
and i'm pretty annoyed coz i recently got two photographs which are better versions of the work i submitted in my online portfolio that i can't just change
but apparently that's a silly thing to care about lol

Heyy, just read you've done an online portfolio to brighton, i need to get mine done by monday but this 500 word thing is confusing mee. Just wondered how similar to your personal statement it was? Most of what i need to put in the 500 words is in my personal statement anyway. Any advice you will have would be appreciateddd. Thanks

hey
did you see my flickr?
also, it needs to be 500 words?! i dont remember any word count guideline thing
it wasn't taken from my personal statement whatsoever, and i havent read over it since mid december. I wrote about exactly what my practice is at the moment, in quite a reflective manner and just generally my interests that feed into my work. Just be natural and write what is going on in your work, tie it all together if that makes sense.

yeah just saw it, that really helps reading it! yeah it just said approx. 500 words not really a limit. Okay thanks yea that helps, ah i better get started on it then!

Hi, I have to do my online application for Brighton by monday, I was just wondering what you wrote for the 500 words? Most of it is in my personal statement anyway so I don't know how much I should change and how different it should be. If you have any advice that would be great as i really need to get it done tonight! Thanks

Hello, this is my 500 words ( i think i did count?), i just tried to make it more specific and updated compared to my personal statement, which was more general about me as a person. I advise maybe to make it very current about what you're into and working on at the moment and talk about one piece of work in your mini portfolio... seemed to work for me
