Art applicants for 2012 entry

Sculpture! Oh right, you'll get in easily then. Wish I could've done my foundation course there

I really dunno how it'll go but hopefullllyy
Where did you do your foundation?

And yaaay not competition

I do know people who love Chelsea, I think its just so individual, all you can do is go with your gut instinct . The Camberwell Building is a huge hodge podge of old and new and a maze to find your way around (looks like crap from the outside, but the facilities are still excellent) - Chelsea's building IS much more beautiful. The workshop thing is majorly swaying me, I get the impression most other places are like you said - very little scope for really learning skills in workshops that are not attached to your course.

I love the new CSM building, but your first years will be in Archway (ok, but workshops have been really cut down in favour of the new building). Goldsmiths is my other choice,

Who knows, I'll just be happy to get 1 bloody acceptance so I can relax again!

I have to apply to places close to home or easy to travel to cause of work - if I was young and free to choose, Id go to Brighton or Glasgow

Just on the camberwell area though, Ive lived all over london (Camden, Pimlico, Notting Hill) and this has been by far the best place to live, loads of artists in the area, good independent galleries, studios, great food and buses go everywhere in London (I hate the tube).

Haa your reply sounds so much like me I thought I had written it! Like you I would be happy to get 1 offer- having applied to all the usual London/UAL ones! I'm at Camberwell at the moment studying the foundation! I also have to agree that Camberwell is so well served bus wise! - I'm not a fan of the tube and try to avoid it at all costs!

I just did it at my local college, there's nowhere really good for it around here and moving to London is so expensive. Fail for the North right there.

Haha hooray! It's so soul destroying when someone's applying for the same course.

Hey guys!!! An answer before midday deadline would be useful, haha: where are you guys uploading your images for Goldsmiths? It's the link where it says "BA Fine Art Uploading", right? Because I know someone who has uploaded them all in the "Blog Profile" - I don't even know how she found it - and I'm a leetle confused.

Geez i just really dont know what they are looking for with this essay! do I show and send early stages of development 2 years ago, or do I show present state of mind a made up recent essay?! WHAT THE HELL, does this matter? >.<

Not really; they just want to glance at your level of writing!! Don't stress, just send your best piece.

Also, TIP: if you're really nosy and you click on your name on the top right corner and then BAFA > Participants (click this), then you can see all the 1043 people who have applied to Goldsmiths Fine Art BA. Some of them have uploaded avatars, websites and really, quite funny little paragraphs about themselves.

Ha! Time to lurk that all day once I've uploaded this.
The thing is, my method of writing is nothing like what it was :s it doesn't even sound like me when I read it anymore, even the foundation essays don't sound right :s

Dali or Se7en? **** ****

I would pick Se7en, actually, because they probably want to see more contemporary stuff, but then again... it's just about your writing, so just choose the best one in terms of style, I guess?

If you go to the end of the participants list, youll see that a lot of people have never even accessed it

And it says.

Didn't they say it was at 12:00 in the email and then use the word midday a billion times since?
