ahh yes i've applied to the 2nd year and into the painting route because i'm doing foundation so it's an equivalent to their first year! Kind of wish i had tried to get into the first year last year but don't think i was really ready! Good luck!

And Wimbledon mostly asked about my work though said he enjoyed reading my statement when i come in so i guess he already got enough info about me from that... oooooh the pain of not knowing :frown:

How long did they tell you you'd have to wait for a reply? Mine said 3 weeks :angry:

Heyy guys!
Unfortunately I got a rejection from the Slade yesterday... sad times :frown:

Was heartbreaking - especially the little quotation they slipped in there! Harsh!
It's a bit of a relief to hear that I'm not the only one, I guess.
Still waiting on Reading and Edinburgh - I see some of you have offers for Reading! Well done! :smile:

So nervous about Edinburgh - has anyone heard back from them?

Congrats to everyone that got a Slade interview! Good luck!

It's a shame how everyone is suddenly arguing! I guess were all a bit stressed out lately - these unis really do like playing hard to get! Hahah :smile:

You got a quotation from them in a rejection? That sounds really cruel if it's
nasty. I just got an unsuccessful thing on my UCAS.

Has anyone heard for Illustration at Edinburgh?

Also, my last final outcome was a big sculpture and not illustration, do you guys think
that if I get to the portfolio day thing that I should bring a photo of it anyway? I'm really proud of it but it's not illustration at all. My work is
all over the place and not really all that focused in one area and I'm apprehensive since I won't get to explain why that is.

Did you click on the course code for UCL on your "Choices" page? They have the rejection letter on there with the lovely little message they added :wink:

Hey, I've applied to another course (Graphic Design) Whereas you've applied to painting. But in the guidelines which they had sent for us about the Edinburgh portfolio, im sure there is a mention for things not to be rolled up, Im not exactly sure, but thought it was worth a mention.

Goodluck

Yeah I am presuming by that they mean they don't want you to bring work in a portfolio and not just rolled up paper? sounds silly but i have heard of people doing it.. I think its different when you roll up canvas, i do it a lot, Brighton said that you can bring canvas's rolled up to interview.. anyway i've emailed edinburgh to ask! Good luck to you too :smile:

I haven't heard anything, either (same course). When was your deadline? Mine was right at the end of January, so nearly a month ago now. Hopefully we'll hear something soon, I'm tired of waiting!

Have you posted your Flickr on here before? I'd be interested to see your work! :smile:

Yes! I've had LCA and Slade rejections, I'm pretty much ignoring Loughborough (I got an interview, but I don't want to go really), and I'm fairly sure I'm not getting into Brighton. That leaves me with NTU, and Tuesday afternoon I'll probably be thinking that the interview went badly (fingers crossed it won't, though).

I keep thinking I'll at least have another year to think about stuff/do more work if I don't get in anywhere, but really I'd have to have decided where I wanted to go by November...Which is worrying, 'cause I don't make decisions quickly...

Oh dear. But basically yes, I am also freaking out that I won't get in anywhere :wink:

I haven't heard for Critical Fine Art either, but my deadline wasn't until mid Feb. More time to do work I guess!

Hhaha, yeah it's not nasty, just a little painful to read :frown:

I think everyone that got a rejection got it. You can see it if you click 'W100' next to the 'unsuccessful' and the click on 'view decision letter' which is in red. It's quite saddening.

Hopeful to hear from Edinburgh as well, sorry, I don't know what I would do in your place about the sculpture! Wish I could give you advice, but I really don't know.
Good luck!

Ooo so close. Don't think it's my favourite choice, but as always, I wouldn't say no to getting an offer. :wink:

Yeah me too, they seem to have hundreds and hundreds of interviews so maybe they're not as picky as they make out?
