No, the SAQ is just other details, nothing subject specific

Cambridge, that's fancy!
I must say, i'm quite jealous! Not even started my ps
GSA, Dundee, Strathclyde, and Edinburgh I think ? Yourself ?

I've applied to GSA as well! My AS results weren't really good so I'm expecting a rejection before interview from Cambridge. UCL is my top choice, but it's gonna be super competitive so fingers crossed. How's your portfolio going?

UCL, Sheffield, Bath and Northumbria and yourself?

Cardiff, Sheffield, Oxford Brookes, Kent.
What did you take at A-levels, and what's your predicted grades?

Mixture of everything.

Is there anywhere that has examples?

I did Maths, Fine Art, Geography and English Lit at AS, but for A level I've dropped English and taken up Further Maths AS. Predicted A*A*A*a, but think they're a bit optimistic to be honest!

I'm not 100% sure but I know most people got them around mid-November last year.

Last years thread (2011), loads of examples in that thread.

Just checked from last year for you and they do email you requesting a portfolio
I got an acknowledgment on the 2/12 and received the email on the 16/12 for it to be there by the 7th jan. Even though they havn't told you yet, start it anyway so you dont end up rushing it.

Thanks! Got my email requesting portfolio today I shall send mine off at the start of half term hopefully!

:O That must feel like forever! I'd probably be really impatient with all my other classmates getting their offers haha

Thanks again!

Does anyone know how long after you send your portfolio to Manchester can you expect to get an answer?

It was so frustrating hearing people get offers and me (and the other 2 arch applicants) having to wait til late april i was the last person in the year to hear back from a uni which was uber grim!! Being impatient is part of the process, so be as impatient as you can ;D

It's pretty much non-existent at the moment! Planning on using stuff from my adv art course, and trying to get along to some life drawing to put into it. Also going to try and keep a sketchbook of like buildings i can draw hopefully...Yourself ?

Well, this year they're asking for a portfolio. I've already sent it like 2 week ago anddd....the wait it killing me!!

Ahh Cardiff portfolio request! But they want it there by the 7th Nov, which means it needs to go by the 1st :O.

Anyone previously sent a portfolio for Cardiff? Not sure how to go about using the 4 sheets, how much drawing should I include??
