Hi guys, congratulations on your interviews for Goldsmiths!

I just got a rejection from Slade. :/ Without interview, yet again. I have interviews for Goldsmtihs and Chelsea, and I find it a real bummer that I didn't even get an interview for UCL. Definitely don't understand their standards at all or what they're looking for, but whatever. I'm going to go and do my best to get into unis I did get interviews for.

Snap with Slade! After my rejection from leeds i didn't imagine myself getting one for there...and i thought the BFA was less competitive :/

I don't see how they could possibly give me feedback, since I can tell they didn't take the time to look through it all. It's a rip-off for £15, there wasn't even a lot of stuff in there. It'd just be a generic "your portfolio wasn't as strong as others" email, since they wouldn't have much else to write about.

I would've thought that the asking for feedback bit was more for people who have had interviews and been rejected after them, though.

mwahahaha thankkkk you





YAY!!!!! what time's yours? 21st march??

uh oh... nothing here... through email?

My friend hasn't heard anything either, so don't worry yet. Went through the previous year's threads and many Goldsmiths applicants receive interview offers tomorrow/day after.

Thanks, will try and keep calm... can't change the result now either way.

Sorry to the people turned down from Slade too

I keep getting UCAS advert emails, such a tease

I find it slightly staggering that people are begrudging paying a £15 fee in order to have their whole portfolio viewed. It is a small price to pay in order to ensure the institution you're applying to has an opportunity to view all of your work, as opposed to 10 digital images. Reviewing physical portfolios undoubtedly takes time, and effort from the staff at Slade; we must remember that it is one of the very few art colleges that still gives students the chance to submit physical work for review at the first stage of application.

I won't speak for others, but I know for a fact that the Slade looked through all of the work in my folio- some 30 sheets (and also two dozen drawings) All of the work was re-ordered and clearly throughly looked through thoroughly.

I'd be surprised if the Slade executed portfolio reviews without taking notes. I would like to think that if any applicant requested feedback they would still posess some kind of form which they'd have filled out while reviewing the portfolios which they would be able to refer back to. I'd say it's definately worth asking if you want feedback... If you don't ask you don't get.

Sorry to here about the rejections guys.. I really don't understand it all myself!!

Has anyone heard back from Chelsea BA fine art?!

No word from Chelsea yet - I cant handle all this anxiety on top of keeping up with my art work and my work work - - - Chelsea is the last one Im waiting to hear from now.

Ahhh tell me about it!! I've only heard from CSM out of my choices so far but with the others I don't think anyone's heard since digital/ mini-portfolios. Have you had any offers or interviews yet?

Just looked through my emails from Chelsea last year and I didn't hear back until March 14th, when they'd asked for my portfolio February 9th. They're just ridiculously slow so don't worry!
(and don't even get me started on their review system :/)

14th March thats so far away!
