Basically I have been offered a place to study UCL art history, I did not apply for cambridge art history, but i have the grades, have done allot of wider reading and generally think I would make a strong applicant. therefore is it worth me waiting a year and re-applying for cambridge or are my career prospects and success the same if i go to UCL and therefore not worth taking a year out. it seems all the famous art historians and directors etc/ went to oxbridge to study AH, eg alistair sooke, kenneth clark, eddie redmayne, claudia from strictly etc.
Also while i have not yet been offered a place i have applied for the courtauld for AH also for undergrad degree, does anyone know how good this institution is for BA, but i know it is very good for masters? whats the success rate like and actually student life?
this is a massive weight on my mind and thoughts and ideas on things that i have raised will be much appreciated
