Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)Am an international student. No, am not taking A Levels Art, I guess that's why they ask for a portfolio(Original post by nokwok)
i dont think it's related to the matter of whether or not you are an international student, I am classified as an international student and i got an offer from them without having to attend an interview or posting them my portfolio.
Have you taken art for Alevels?
BTW, congrats for all those who got offers!Last edited by gqie; 07-12-2011 at 04:51. -

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)Yep.(Original post by Vesselina)
I'm also applying to Edinburgh, but I haven't received anything apart from an acknowledgement letter. I sent off my application on the 8-th November.
Are you an international student? -

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)Has anyone received a portfolio request from Sheffield yet? I'm really confused about the layout since the email states that only '10 images' are allowed to be included....also do we only need to annoate all of these 10 images or just the street task? Cheers

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)I think Cardiff does portfolios in 3 rounds. I send my application on October 15th so went in the first round. Had to have my portfolio in my the beginning of November if I remember rightly. But in one of the emails it said they do requests at three points throughout the year, so I'd say you'll be in the next round. Cardiff request portfolios from all their applicants. Just more waiting I'm affraid.(Original post by evarch)
Just wondering... has anyone else not received an email from Cardiff University requesting Portfolio? i sent my application in on Nov 16th.
Also time for an update on the overall application:
Cambridge: Had my interview yesterday. Just waiting now.
Sheffield: Portfolio sent.
Cardiff: Portfolio sent.
Brighton: Conditional offer. 36 Points.
Portsmouth: Conditional offer. 29 Points.

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)Can any home students applying for Manchester tell me how long it takes for them to reply after you've sent your portfolio? Haven't had any replies yet, so I assume they don't give acknowledgements after they've received it right?
Also TBasi congrats! -

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)If you mean Brookes, no I didn't, just an email saying that the Uni would be open as usual on the strike day (day of interview!)(Original post by nokwok)

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)I sent my application on the 17th and I got my portfolio request at the beginning of last week.. :/ Are you an international student?(Original post by evarch)
Just wondering... has anyone else not received an email from Cardiff University requesting Portfolio? i sent my application in on Nov 16th.
They said that on the website but when I emailed them to confirm that was what I was meant to do, the admissions secretary said that I had to wait for the portfolio request email..(Original post by pretzl.logic)
Basically from what Ive heard you need to just send it, someone on one of the pages before posted a link with Cardiff saying that you need to send it off with your application. -

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)Thanks! I'm so pleased as it's my first offer! I sent mine on the 24th November so it's been just under 2 weeks, and no they didn't give acknowledgements. When did you send yours?(Original post by riotjane)

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)Thanks for the reply - that's quite a while actually. Congrats on the offer too! Guess I have a little more waiting to be done...(Original post by a2london)
no, they didn't acknowledge that I sent them my portfolio blog: I e-mailed it to them on the 26th nov and got my offer yesterday AAA, hope that's helpful!
I sent mine on Sunday night, so technically Monday? It seems like it'd be roughly 2 weeks before they reply, so thanks! Can't say I'm entirely confident with my portfolio though.(Original post by TBasi)

Re: Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)Ohhh how did it go?(Original post by charlottelea)
It's tomorrow! Ah so scared! How do you think yours went? And which college did you apply to? I really have no idea how mine went, the interviewers really didn't give much away at all, there were a couple of questions i struggled with but i didnt think it was a complete disaster :P Clare, you?
